Gloria Feldt

Gloria Feldt knew when she was five years old and saw her first poem recited publicly that she wanted to be a writer. But her passion for social justice propelled her life's work in a different direction first. Her latest book, "No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think about Power ~ Tools for Leading an Unlimited Life," is the culmination of what she learned on the way. She was a teen mom who rose to become president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She wrote her first two books, "Behind Every Choice Is a Story" and "The War on Choice," to support PPFA's mission. She then co-wrote "Send Yourself Roses" with actress Kathleen Turner, founded GloriaFeldt.com and Heartfeldt Blog, and is a keynote speaker on women's leadership, rights, health, politics, and media. She teaches "Women, Power, and Leadership" at Arizona State University and loves touring with the intergenerational feminist panel, "WomenGirlsLadies." She's proud to have been mentioned more often than Betty Friedan in Kate O'Beirne's "Women Who Make the World Worse." Vanity Fair named Gloria to its Top 200 Women Legends, Leaders, and Trailblazers, Glamour named her Woman of the Year, and Women's e-News "21 Leaders for the 21st Century." A social media addict, (please) find her on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. She and her husband, Alex Barbanell, share six children and fourteen grandchildren.
