Always a contradictory figure - "the epitome of female beauty and the quintessence of female revolution" - Gloria Steinem has been both hailed and vilified as the "acceptable" face of feminism. Not until her political engagement found active voice through "New York Magazine" and her own venture, the ground-breaking and influential "MS", did the media coverage about "the world's most beautiful byline" begin to peter out. Steinem's vigorous work throughout the 1960s in support of civil rights, abortion, and the anti-Vietnam movement, and her subsequent embracing of the feminist cause, had at last put her beauty in perspective. This work is Heilbrun's survey of the forces that shaped this remarkable figure. Covering Steinem's difficult childhood in Toledo, her years at Smith College and her watershed sojourn in India, Heilbrun offers an insight into Steinem's developing consciousness.
