The book itself is a most remarkable collection: five decades of the magazine’s most startling, audacious, and norm-breaking pieces on women, men, politics (sexual and otherwise), marriage, family, education, work, motherhood, and reproductive rights.
Filled with iconic art, covers, and photos, it also features a foreword from co-founding editor Gloria Steinem and contributions by bell hooks, Alice Walker, Pauli Murray, Billie Jean King, Nancy Pelosi, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Allison Bechdel, Eleanor Smeal, Brittney Cooper and Joy Harjo, as well as fiction and poetry by Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Joyce Carol Oates, and Rita Dove among many others.
