Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1992. First Edition [stated], Fourth Printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Rick Bard (Author photograph). [10], 377, [5] pages. A Personal Preface, Meditation Guide, Bibliotherapy. Notes. Index. Signed by the author on a plain bookplate on the fep. For decades, Gloria Steinem has led a social revolution against injustice. In Revolution from Within, she sets out to restore the authority and self-confidence that such injustice has undermined. Steinem uses stories from her own life and the lives of others to illustrate the many connections between the personal and the political, offering readers lessons on how to bring down barriers to equality both external and internal. Gloria Marie Steinem (born March 25, 1934) is an American feminist, journalist, and social political activist, who became nationally recognized as a leader and a spokeswoman for the American feminist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. She is listed in Who's Who in America. Steinem was a columnist for New York magazine, and a co-founder of Ms. magazine. In 1969, Steinem published an article, "After Black Power, Women's Liberation", which brought her to national fame as a feminist leader. In 2005, Steinem, Jane Fonda, and Robin Morgan co-founded the Women's Media Center, an organization that works "to make women visible and powerful in the media". Steinem travels internationally as an organizer and lecturer, and is a spokeswoman on issues of equality. Derived from a Kirkus review: In the wake of feminist calls-to-arms, Steinem's inwardly turned examination of how men and women sabotage themselves by suppressing the `child within' appears decidedly retro. Her reflections on her own and others' spiritual struggles may give a new generation of activists pause for further reflection. In the wake of Ms. magazine's sale and her own resignation as its editor, Steinem found herself, she says, with the time and inspiration to write a book she'd had in mind for yearsa study of the psychological and societal factors that negatively influence self-esteem. The result, she tells us, was a heavily footnoted, scholarly report whose reliance on experts' opinions revealed Steinem's own deep lack of confidence, and inspired her to toss away her original manuscript and come out of the closet herself. Recounting her own early life as the daughter of a factory worker who divorced his mentally ill wife when Gloria was only ten, Steinem details the natural progression from a co-dependent relationship with her mother to an unconscious adult sense of being `co-dependent with the world.' Forced by her need to wall off her past, she led a life of outer-world confrontations until, through therapy undertaken as research for her book, she began to master her `inner child.' By including others' tales of self- actualization through a `revolution from within'the creation of a winning chess team in Spanish Harlem, the transformation of a housewife into an entrepreneur, etc.Steinem illustrates how others' psychic journeys may lead in much different directions than her own. Still, much of what is recommended here will strike many as old hatand, in the end, more interesting as an update on the feminist's life than as a practical aid to others. A piquant counterpoint to recently revitalized, outer-directed feminist fashion., Little, Brown and Company, 1992, 3<

Signed on fep which states the book is "A Special Limited Edition for Friends of Ms. Magazine." The signature on the book is a facsimile, not an original hand-signed copy. 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 379 pages From jacket: "Having lead a social revolution against sexual and racial barriers over the past two decades, Gloria Steinem now connects that external revolution to a necessary internal revolution of spirit and consciousness. For years she assumed that concern with inner change with secondary to societal change. To friends she often joked, "The examined life is not worth living." But she continued to encounter (mostly) women with too little self-esteem to take advantage of hard-won, if still incomplete, opportunities, and too many (though not only) men who were addicted to authority and control as the only proof of their value. Both lacked faith in a unique self: that "core" self-esteem without which no amount of "situational" self-esteem can be enough." Bumped head and heel of spine; moderate wear to jacket with some rubbing to back of jacket; we note two pages with a publication defect - a lightening of the text, three previously page corners and inked underlining and marginalia on more than 80 pages. . Limited. Hard Cover. Acceptable/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., 2.5<
