Gloria Steinem #2

The book My Life on the Road shows an incredible glimpse into Gloria Steinem's world. I don't just mean her childhood or experiences alone. I refer to her perspectives on the situations, how they changed, and in result how she changed. Even though I feel I have the free spirit and ambition like Steinem I did not get to travel as frequently, this caused an itch in my feet (would explain why I traveled to the opposite side of the country to attend USC). Yet though our back stories are very different I found I very much agreed and related to the experiences Gloria had.
I learn every day- yes I've been in school for the last seventeen years- but I'm not talking about what I learn in an establishment. In a world where we are so engrossed in the world our iPhones control, we must break through the bubble and look up from our screens. The same experiences Gloria spoke of in her book are not experiences that one must travel to a faraway place (or much less back in time) to experience. If we all have conversations and discussions in places with people different than us we are able to experience something similar- but only if we let it.
Truly an inspiring read and I now look to Gloria Steinem as a role model and advocate for women's rights.
