<DIV><DIV><B>&ldquo;Without self-esteem, the only change is an exchange of masters; with it, there is no need for masters.&rdquo; &mdash;Gloria Steinem</B></DIV>&#160; <DIV>When trying to find books to give to &ldquo;the countless brave and smart women I met who didn&rsquo;t think of themselves as either brave or smart,&rdquo; Gloria Steinem realized that books either supposed that external political change would cure everything or that internal change would. None linked internal and external change together in a seamless circle of cause and effect, effect and cause. She undertook to write such a book, and ended up transforming herself as well as others.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>The result of her external plus internal reflection is this bestselling and truly transforming book: part collection of personal stories from her own life and the lives of many others, part revolutionary guide to finding community and inspiration. Steinem finds role models in a very young and uncertain Gandhi as well as unlikely heroes from the streets to history. <I>Revolution from Within</I> addresses the core issues of self-authority and unjust external authority, and argues that the first is necessary to transform the second.</DIV></DIV>
