This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Thank you for all your good and beautiful work.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Too much of our lives corresponds to the 'lost-wallet' theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The road itself is informative, because it forces you to respond spontaneously and to encounter the unexpected. It forces you to reassess what you felt about people or issues or places, and it forces you to live in the present.
Gloria Steinem
Image
the less powerful group usually knows the powerful one much better than vice versa - blacks have had to understand whites in order to survive, women have had to know men - yet the powerful group can afford to regard the less powerful one as a mystery.

I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
Gloria Steinem
Image
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Marriage works best for men than women. The two happiest groups are married men and unmarried women.
Gloria Steinem
Image
It feels as if childhood sexual abuse or domestic abuse of women in the home has increased but actually if you ask women of 60 or 70 years old, the incidence is about the same. We just didn't know it.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Violence against women is clearly not solved, not at all solved, and the reasons for it, which are controlling women's bodies in order to control reproduction, are definitely not solved.
Gloria Steinem
Image
It's never to late for a happy childhood.
Gloria Steinem
Image
People start to talk about post-racist, post-feminist. What does that mean? We're clearly not post either. Would you say post-democracy? Clearly we haven't reached true democracy yet.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Self-esteem isn't everything it's just that there's nothing without it.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem

I have me brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words.
