More quotes by Gloria Steinem
For the reader who has put away comic books, but isn't yet ready for editorials in the Daily News.
Gloria Steinem
I can't mate in captivity.
Gloria Steinem
I'm still the same person who grew up mostly in a Midwestern, factory-working neighborhood where talk about self-esteem would have seemed like a luxury.
Gloria Steinem
Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.
Gloria Steinem
... anything a powerful group has is perceived as good, no matter what it is, and anything a less powerful group has is not so good, no matter how intrinsically great it might be.
Gloria Steinem
Girls are taught to view their bodies as unending projects to work on, whereas boys from a young age, are taught to view their bodies as tools to master their environment
Gloria Steinem
It used to be said that this country was a child-centered one. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children have been our lowest priority, both in economic and emotional spending.
Gloria Steinem
We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature.
Gloria Steinem
I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.
Gloria Steinem
Liberation does not come from outside.
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
Don't listen to me. Listen to yourself ... People often ask me at this age, 'Who am I passing the torch to?' First of all, I'm not giving up my torch, thank you! I'm using my torch to light other people's torches. ... If we each have a torch, there's a lot more light.
Gloria Steinem
I hate when people say, Have fun at the press preview. Fun is talking to you.
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
I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.
Gloria Steinem
Housewives are dependent creatures who are still children…parasites.
Gloria Steinem
An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
Gloria Steinem
I think it's important to see the parallels, and to understand that our masculine and feminine roles are relatively new in human history. Both gender and race are inventions that go deep because we have been raised with them, but they are still inventions.
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
Sadomasochiasm - which we know very well doesn't exist in societies that don't have child abuse - is regarded some sort of natural sexual expression.
