Wisdom, strength and love were the Amazonian qualities given to Wonder Woman by her creator, Charles Moulton, when he began the comic strip in 1941. For six productive years, his stories seduced and enchanted children of all ages. Now in this collection of the best strips from the 1940s, the Golden Age of Comics, Wonder Woman lives again. And, as Gloria Steinem points out, she is a symbol for the feminist movement, an example of sisterhood, self-reliance and self-respect for all women to follow. Here then is the Amazonian Princess battling the forces of evil, upholding truth and justice, performing incredible feats of skill and daring. Wielding her magic golden lasso, bouncing bullets off her steel bracelets, Wonder Woman flashes through these pages, a foe to violence, war and hatred.

For decades -- and especially now in these times of crisis -- people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem's gift for creating quotes that inspire action and create hope. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, up to today, Steinem's words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Gloria sees quotes as 'the poetry of everyday life,' so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, Michelle Obama, and more, in this anthology of quotes that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some of your own. At the end of the book, there is a special space for each reader to add their own quotes and others they've found. Covering topics from relationships ('Many are looking for the right person. Too few are looking to be the right person.') to patriarchy ('Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how patriarchy is enforced every day.') and activism ('Change, like a tree, grows from the bottom up.'), plus an introduction and essays by Steinem, this is the definitive collection of her words on many of the topics that matter most today. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Gloria to readers, that they will want to share with friends.

This phenomenally successful book, that has sold nearly a half a million copies since its original publication in 1983, is Gloria Steinem's most diverse and timeless collection of essays.
