When Particular Passions published in 1981, it broke ground by putting the accomplishments of women on the record — the Washington Post called it revolutionary when it revisited the book in 2018. Today its chapters live on as standalone portraits, each one a woman's own voice recounting how she broke through a male-dominated world and turned passion into power. Read one, and you'll want the rest (available for purchase on Amazon).

Gloria Steinem
"In later years, if I'm remembered at all it will be for inventing a phrase like "reproductive freedom because before that we talked about "population control," which meant that someone else was going to make the decision, not us.
I think the revolutionary role of a writer is to make language that makes coalition possible, language that makes us see things in a new way."
—Gloria Steinem
