An Unexpected Life is a luminous act of remembrance and generosity. Gloria Steinem writes with the clarity of someone who has lived many lives inside one: daughter, caregiver, traveler, organizer, writer, friend, witness and revolutionary. This is a fiercely beautiful book about how we survive, how we learn, how we keep faith with one another, and how an unexpected life can become a formidable force for freedom and connection. * Roxane Gay *
