Gloria Steinem Instagram – As a little girl, books were my escape. I didn’t attend school until I was 10, so I would read anything I could get my hands on from the local library. Now at 88, I’ve achieved my dream of having a library ladder and shelves filled with books that I love, sorted by categories like “Women’s History” and “Written by Friends.” That’s why this creative project, a Bookscape photograph of my bookshelves, is truly a project of the heart. In this age of Zooming, I’ve noticed that most people are seen in front of their bookcases, and we peer around to see what books we might learn from. I hope even one of the books on my shelves piques your curiosity. The artist Max-Steven Grossman photographed the bookshelves in my home and created this work of art, and in partnership with @spondergallery launched it at Art Miami Context. It is for sale now and proceeds are generously being donated to Gloria’s Foundation, which will preserve my home and these bookshelves for future generations of activists. The link for more details is in my bio.
