Gloria Steinem: The Last Interview

and Other Conversations



“Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.” —Gloria Steinem

Beyond being one of the most famous and consequential leaders of the second wave feminist movement, Gloria Steinem was also a leading journalist of the twentieth century, a relentless political advocate, and spent decades fighting for human rights around the world. In this sparkling collection of conversations spanning her long career—including her final interview—Steinem discusses everything from her activist beginnings working for social justice in India, her explosive report about going undercover as a Playboy Bunny, to starting the National Women's Political Caucus and Ms. Magazine. The result is a fascinating and inspiring look into her exciting life and times, and a life spent in the struggle for equality and equity.

About the author

MELVILLE HOUSE

Melville House is an independent publisher located in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in 2001 by sculptor Valerie Merians and fiction writer/journalist Dennis Johnson, in order to publish Poetry After 9/11, a book of material culled from Johnson’s groundbreaking MobyLives book blog. The material consisted of things sent in to the blog by writers and poets in response to the 9/11 attacks, and Johnson and Merians felt it better represented the spirit of New York than the call to war of the Bush administration.

Praise for Gloria Steinem: The Last Interview

“Gloria, in her graceful, kind, and deeply intelligent way, changed the world we live in. . . No group was too small to deserve Gloria’s time. This is how she built the new women’s movement.” —Jane Fonda

“Every woman who has ever walked into a room knowing she belongs there; every woman who has demanded equal pay, equal respect, ownership of her own body, and the right to make her own choices; every girl who has grown up assuming that her dreams are hers to pursue—whether she knows Gloria Steinem’s name or not—is living, in some measure, inside the progress Gloria helped create.” —Oprah Winfrey

“For decades, she fought to make that freedom real for generations of women and girls. She spoke up when it was difficult, listened to those whose voices too often went unheard, and never stopped pushing our country forward . . . Her voice changed our country, and her courage will continue to inspire us to keep fighting for the freedoms she spent her life defending.” —Dr. Jill Biden

“Gloria Steinem understood power: of women, words and coalitions, and she used that power to transform a stubborn nation. She built alliances without concern for how cynics might perceive them—and she lifted leaders long before others understood their promise.” —Stacey Abrams

“Everything I watched, everything I read, everything I observed about her gave me a template for how I wanted to behave. Her honesty, her tolerance, her patience, and her insistence on humanism and inclusion as she moved through the world offers us all a moral roadmap.” —Julianne Moore
