More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
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.
Gloria Steinem
A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.
Gloria Steinem
Women are always saying,We can do anything that men cando. But Men should be saying,We can do anything that women can do.
Gloria Steinem
Self-esteem isn't everything it's just that there's nothing without it.
Gloria Steinem
All biographers, no matter how sympathetic, end up using their subjects as mirrors to figure themselves out. I don't want to be anyone's mirror.
Gloria Steinem
I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.
Gloria Steinem
Our own lives feel so disordered and confusing, so it's amazing to me that the filmmakers caught the personal, emotional high points and low points of my life and not just the public aspects.
Gloria Steinem
People say, 'Oh, you've sacrificed so much, now's the time to do something for yourself.' I mean, please - that is so wrong. I don't think I've sacrificed one f-king thing.
Gloria Steinem
More and more men are raising children or want to be close to their kids. They don't want to just lead work-obsessed lives and end up 50 years later with an engraved watch.
Gloria Steinem
I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.
Gloria Steinem
We have to stop arresting prostitutes and not arresting traffickers and pimps. It's absurd. We're arresting the victim or the survivor and not the oppressor.
Gloria Steinem
I'm completely happy not having children. I mean, everybody does not have to live in the same way. And as somebody said, Everybody with a womb doesn't have to have a child any more than everybody with vocal cords has to be an opera singer.
Gloria Steinem
An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
Gloria Steinem
I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.
Gloria Steinem
I haven't been in a job situation in which I was competing with other women. As a writer, you're more likely to be treated as an individual.
Gloria Steinem
If women could sleep their way to the top, there'd be a lot more women at the top.
Gloria Steinem
Economics anxiety may be even more common than the often identified 'math anxiety,' for unlike math, which has its personal uses, economics is seen as a mysterious set of forces manipulated from above.

no one ever got radicalized by being grateful
