More quotes by Gloria Steinem
There's no greater gift than thinking that you had some impact on the world, for the better.
Gloria Steinem
Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.
Gloria Steinem
Most women are one man away from welfare.
Gloria Steinem
The belief that women should control our own bodies may be a majority belief, but the minority that believes otherwise is against not only safe and legal abortions but contraception and even sex education.
Gloria Steinem
I think we acquire habits of mind when we're little, and I lived in the future because I was always imagining being a grown-up, when I could get out.
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
We have to learn to stand up for our interests. To seek purity is self-defeating and a stereotype in itself: women have to be pure, women are not concerned about money.
Gloria Steinem
No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.
Gloria Steinem
We need to stop raising boys to think that they need to prove their masculinity by being controlling or by not showing emotion or by not being little girls.
Gloria Steinem
Everyone is unique and each experience is different.
Gloria Steinem
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Gloria Steinem
I believe that transgender people, including those who have transitioned, are living out real, authentic lives. Those lives should be celebrated, not questioned. Their health care decisions should be theirs and theirs alone to make.
Gloria Steinem
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
Feminism is not antisexuality. On the contrary. It says that sexuality shouldn't be confused with violence and dominance and that it should be a matter of free choice. It shouldn't be forced on you by economics, including dependence on a husband, or by pressure.
Gloria Steinem
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
Sexuality has always been for humans a form of communication, a way we express love and caring and bonding, not only a way we have children if we choose to.
Gloria Steinem
Human beings are communal beings and we can't exist or prosper by ourselves. We need each other's support.
Gloria Steinem
The surest way to be alone is to get married.
Gloria Steinem
Men tend to gain wholeness by acquiring the qualities that are wrongly called feminine.
