My Life on the Road is filled with beautifully told stories of the people she has spoken with and listened to, been changed by, helped organize, got radicalized by, could get lost in, could get found in.

She changed America in a fundamental way without being damaged by it or losing her joy. She steered us through the contentious years of the women's movement without losing her humanity or her wonderful sense of humor.
