Publisher's Summary:
"My one writerly habit was describing everything I did, no matter how absorbing or how trivial, as if I were standing outside myself and watching. That is, I would get up in the morning and look out the window, all the time thinking, 'She slid from the rumpled bed, yawned, and looked out at the pale...no, thin winter light. It was going to be another one of those days....' That kind of thing; very corny."
Every writer's origin story is different. In How I Became a Writer, Gloria Steinem charts her unlikely journey from restless teen in Toledo, Ohio, to professional magazine writer in Manhattan - with sage advice and "random directives" for getting started.
How I Became a Writer was originally published in Glamour, October 1965.

Legendary Gloria Steinem
Legendary Gloria Steinem has been a public figure for many decades. I've read Ms. Magazine on occasion. But I never knew much about her personal life, except that she chose not to marry or have children.
For me, this essay fills in a few blanks about Ms. Steinem's early development. She attended Smith College (like Sylvia Plath, so I wonder if they ever knew each other) and spent two years in India. Her writing in this essay is concise, detailed, a good introduction (though brief). Once I finished "How I Became a Writer," I thought I should read one of Ms. Steinem's books.
Brief
This is a short essay Steinem wrote about- you guessed it- how she became a writer. It's to the point, and simple enough to feel like an old pal telling you a story, but I do wish there was more.
This particular copy had some spelling errors, as well, which is really only annoying because it was such a short piece to type up for kindle.
Gloria Steinem 4 years into her career
What a lovely essay. Steinem is very young here and yet there are coy inklings of what she will become--mainly references to how the "feminine" role is changing. If she only knew!
I have hope again
I'm a huge fan of Steinem and being able to read her own words about how she started her writing career is incredibly inspiring.
To read Steinem is liberation
She didnât go to school until she was twelve. That was the first âam I reading a lost Mark Twain novel?!â moment in this classic revelation of one of the great American voices, of her time and this, and all the centuries to come. Steinemâs view of reality is a treasure horde, a flow of badass brilliance you will not read in the letters of any other writer. Should the cultural discourse of the U.S. ever catch up to her level of insight and expression, we may just (finally) live up to the advertising.
