From her solo trips through India to her tireless work for women everywhere, Gloria Steinem is a rebel in the truest way! In this episode the amazing singer/songwriter, Ani DiFranco tells us all about Gloria’s childhood, her difficult relationship with her mom, and all the events that pushed her to spend her life fighting for the rights of women.

About the Narrator
Ani DiFranco has written hundreds of songs, played thousands of shows, captured the imaginations of legions of followers, and jammed with folkies, orchestras, rappers, rock and roll hall-of-famers, jazz musicians, poets, pop superstars, storytellers and a martial arts legend. She’s “fixed up a few old buildings” and minimized her carbon footprint before it was trendy – from installing a geothermal heating and cooling system in the renovated church that her label calls home to using organic inks on all the t-shirts she sells.
