Summary: good book
Review: Gloria is a witty woman who tells it like it is. Her adventures are funny and thought-provoking. I particularly enjoyed the story in which she was a Playboy bunny back when there were PLayboy clubs with bunny waitresses and coatgirls. She encourages women to step outside the box and think for themselves.

Summary: Warm and sensitive writing about womens' lives
Review: Gloria Steinem presents a collection of beautifully written essays about womens' lives. Her writing is warm, sensitive, and empathic. Her stories give men and women alike a deeper understanding of what it means to be female in a man's world. This book made a powerful impression on me and I use it as a text in my college classes. It is easy to read, funny, and enlightening.

Summary: Changed the way I view life.
Review: Had this book been published prior to 1917, the Bolsheviks would never have overthrown our government. Being one of the founders of Menshivism, I was not aware of many of the OUTRAGEOUS ACTS and EVERYDAY REBELLIONS, that this superior intellect Steinem outlines in her wonderful book. My erstwhile colleagues, Lenin and Stalin, are quite right when they say Steinem could have suggested other methods of insurrection, such as pamphlets, or manifestoes, but regardless of this mssing element, I found her book to be very entertaining. Before reading this book, I felt a sense of dejection, I couldn't think of any OUTRAGEOUS ACTS AND EVERYDAY REBELLIONS to display to my frinds and family, but then I browsed Amazon.com, and found Steinem's book. Now, my friends and family ask, "why do you act so outrageous everyday?", then I have to tell them, "because many of the tips that the superior intellect Gloria Steinem showed me in her wonderful book". If you're like the Martov before reading this book, droll and inactive, then read this excellent work of scholarship, and you will become like the martov after reading the book, active and interesting.

Summary: Essay collection that will make you think
Review: Heard the taped version of Gloria Steineim's OUTRAGEOUS
ACTS AND EVERYDAY REBELLIONS, a diverse and timeless
collection of essays . . . I've admired bits and pieces of Steineim's work over the years, but never got to really appreciate her view of the world "as if women mattered" until now.It got me thinking. And isn't that a key indication of great writing? For example, I knew she had been a Playboy Bunny . . . but
listening to her humorous expose, "I Was a Playboy Bunny" got me shaking my head in amazement that women were and
are being treated rather poorly (at least by Hugh Heffner) . . . her moving tribute to her mother, "Ruth's Song," made me realize how fortunate I've been to have my mother's love and support. Lastly, her satirical "If Men Could Menstruate" is a classic that will have you near tears.

Summary: Critique of Proletariot Book
Review: I agree with the idea that revolution is essential in everyones life and as a result believe this book should elaborate more on different types of revolt such as; coud'edat, assassination, and other interesting means. This book was interesting but I recommend Machievellis the prince, better to use for rebellions.

Summary: Unfair perspective on our social climate
Review: I came across this book on my wife's bookshelf and out of curiosity I picked it up and read a good half of it and skimmed the second half. I just can't agree with Steinem's perspective that women are treated so unfairly in America. Granted, there have been problems in the past with jobs and pay scale, but these days young attractive women have just as many opportunities in the job market as men. Instead of highlighting her percieved injustices in America, it would have been great if Steinem could have provided more solutions for women to achieve success in today's business world. I am a liberated male and I want nothing more than to see more women around my workplace.

Summary: Hero of century!
Review: I have to read this book in my Economic class and at first I don't like it becuase it was kind of hard to follow and organize the events. But when you read and complete the whole book, you will all agree that this is an excellent book which is very moving and funny especially the play boy part. In my class, we also have to act out the most important event of Gloria and we choose her life while she was working as a Bunny because she had shown her feeling and her idea of the woman that we can't understand or read it in the text book. So if you are going to read one book this summer, plese consider this one.
