'"Democracy is the tree, families are the roots." -GS. Trust Gloria
Steinem to offer insights that liberate us into broader, more
profound ways of thinking. Her mind is fertile, deep, conscious and
inspiring, with a humour that apparently can't help bubbling up, so
that we are laughing as we, hopefully, become more wise and
determined to change whatever we can change.' -Alice Walker
'Gloria has a profound knack for expressing ideas in ways that
stick with you. When trying to explain something that I can't seem
to wrap my own words around, I very often reach for one of Gloria's
quotes. This beautiful book of her words will no doubt make one of
the most quotable women I know even more eminently quotable.' -Emma
Watson
'This is a fearless book full of passion, resolute perspective and
unbiased hope for the future. Gloria brings honest poetry to
readers while sharing her experienced wisdom on topics that demand
our attention today. From personal challenges to political issues,
The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off!
explores the power of words when it comes to being a changemaker
for yourself and for the good of humanity. And if that's not enough
to move you, the beautiful illustrations will inspire you along the
way.' -Janelle Monae
'When the path is dark, Gloria's words light the way forward. I
find myself returning again and again to her words for inspiration,
comfort and wisdom. She has a way of saying things you feel you
knew but never knew how to articulate. Other times, she expresses
ideas you've never encountered, but once you've heard them, they
are impossible to deny. Her words contain the poetic clarity only
truth offers.' -Natalie Portman
