Free to Be... You and Me

"Free to Be... You and Me" is a 1972 children's album and book created to promote self-acceptance, personal freedom, and gender equality.

The project was initiated by authors Marlo Thomas and Gloria Steinem, aiming to foster a more inclusive and open-minded view of identity and roles. Its legacy lies in inspiring generations to value diversity, self-expression, and kindness, making complex social themes accessible and positive for young audiences.
