Gloria Steinem, who passed away just before the release of her latest memoir, "An Unexpected Life," at the age of 92, expressed happiness and fulfillment in her final words. In the book's introduction, she shared that she felt older than she ever imagined but happier than she could have imagined. Steinem credited her "chosen family" and friends from around the world for her happiness and her desire to live to the age of 100.
"An Unexpected Life" is Steinem's most recent addition to her memoirs, which include "Revolution from Within" and "Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions." In this book, she reflects on her childhood in Ohio during the 1940s and 1950s, a time when societal expectations often confined women to marriage and child-rearing. The memoir then traces Steinem's political awakening, her pivotal role in the second-wave feminist movement, and her enduring influence on younger generations.
