About this title

From AudioFile:

Readings from Steinem's latest book cover diverse topics, such as what if Freud had been a woman, turning 60 and advertising. The listener is treated to a reading that feels like a personal revelation. Steinem's wit and intelligence enliven the words. With the author narrating, the material is more humorous, poignant and alive than the text alone. Certain to gain nods of agreement, or snorts of disbelief, this is superior in all aspects. E.L.C.

From Library Journal:

"If you added water to any of these parts," Steinem says, each segment could become a book. While some of the articles have been previously published, or are "re-rites" of others, there is some new work presented here. "What If Freud Were Phyllis?" was recently published in Ms. magazine after initially being presented to the American Psychiatric Association. The piece is comparatively lengthy (comprising two of the four cassettes) but well worth the space accorded it. Perhaps the best in the collection is "Doing Sixty." The woman who once answered a reporter's remark that she didn't look 40 with "This is what 40 looks like. We've been lying so long, who would know?" has plenty of insights on women in the last third of life. For all libraries.
