Unbound: Gloria Steinem
- 7:30PM
Co-presented by BAM and Greenlight Bookstore
Gloria Steinem—writer, activist, organizer, and one of the most inspiring leaders in the world—celebrates the release of her funny, moving, and profound new book, My Life on the Road, a candid account of how her early years led her to live an on-the-road kind of life: traveling, listening to people, learning, and creating change.
In this intimate discussion at BAM, Steinem relates the story of her own growth in tandem with the growth of an ongoing movement for equality—demonstrating how maintaining an open, observing, on-the-road state of mind can make an active difference in the way we understand others, our times, and ourselves.
This talk is currently sold out, but don’t despair.
