BLERD WITH A BOOK
Hiya! I hope you're keeping safe and healthy. Like everyone else, I am still at home, but because it's autumn, I'm almost finished with my first virtual school quarter (which is why I haven't been active all that much). So, as school begins to wind down, I'll be continuing with my established mental health routine of comfort reading-- on my downtime, of course-- and writing about those comfort books on here. TITLE: My Life on the Road AUTHOR: Gloria Steinem PUBLISHER & DATE: Random House 2016 (originally published in Hardcover in 2015) PAGES: 284 GENRE: Memoir; Feminism BRIEF SUMMARY: Legendary activist, feminist, and itinerant organizer Gloria Steinem shares her story of personal growth and how it dovetailed with the growth of a revolutionary movement for equality-- and how a lifetime spent on the road, complete with surprising encounters with a robust cast of characters, from literary figures to total strangers, that yielded unexpected but profound truths, shaped both. CONTENT WARNING:
The following edition of STAY-AT-HOME READS contains mentions of racism, bigotry, sexism, reproductive choice, abortion, among other sensitive topics. Moreover, this post also contains some dialogue on Election Week 2020 and how it affected my mental health. If any of these topics trigger you, please take the appropriate precautions before reading. In addition, if you or someone you know is struggling mentally and emotionally, please visit Half of Us.com, call SAMHSA's National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357), or visit SAMHSA.org for more assistance and resources.
