    Gloria Steinem, Begründerin und Chefredakteurin der feministischen Zeitschrift "Ms.", der ersten, die Frauen mehr zutrauen mochte als Mode, Kosmetik und Kochrezepte, ist eine der engagierten Journalistinnen, auf die man in der USA zu Recht hört. Ob sie über die absurden Bräuche bei der Auswahl von Playboy-Bunnies, über ein Klassentreffen oder über Marilyn Monroe schreibt: immer lesen sich ihre temperamentvollen, beobachtungsstarken Reportagen wie kluge, amüsante Kurzgeschichten - eine prachtvolle Gelegenheit, sich die Entwicklungssprünge vor Augen zu führen, die Frauen hier wie in Amerika in den vergangenen fünfzehn Jahren geschafft haben.

    This hilarious new version of the beloved children's song "The Wheels on the Bus" will have young readers errping and roaring and honking along."The seals on the bus go "errp, errp, errp"All through the town."Two children and their parents board a city bus on their way to a party. At the next stop, who should get on but a group of seals, who holler "errp, errp, errp" at the top of their lungs. Each time the bus stops a new kind of animal joins the passengers and adds to the din, to the children's delight and the parents' annoyance. But when several hissing skunks want to come aboard, even the children cry "help! help! help!"

    An updated, third edition of the renowned feminist’s most diverse and timeless collection of essays, with a new foreword by Emma Watson. Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions has sold over half a million copies since its original publication in 1983, acclaimed for its witty, warm, and life-changing view of the world, "as if women mattered." Steinem's truly personal writing is here, from the now-famous exposé, "I Was a Playboy Bunny," to the moving tribute to her mother "Ruth's Song (Because She Could Not Sing It)". Her prescient essays on female genital mutilation and the difference between erotica and pornography that are still referenced and relevant today, and the hilarious satire, "If Men Could Menstruate” resonates as much as ever. As Watson writes of Steinem in her foreword, “She makes what otherwise can be arduous and depressing reading into something not only relatable, but also enjoyable... Her plain common sense, calling things out as they are, will make you laugh out loud. This is her superpower.”
