Image
Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.

The Internet is an almost miraculous way of getting information, of finding and organizing with each other, both minutely and globally. A million times better than the phone and the mimeograph! Also much better than TV, which is one-way and passive.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I feel that the people I see in the media are sometimes more real than I am, which is utter bullshit.
Gloria Steinem
Image
There's more variation among human groups than between human groups.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.
Gloria Steinem

Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage

I can't mate in captivity.
Gloria Steinem
Image
As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing. It has always been clear to me that the stories of each other's lives are our best textbooks.

Image
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.
Gloria Steinem
Image
When gender comes down upon us, male or female, it comes as a restriction.
Gloria Steinem
Image
A movement happens when people are inspired by somebody, but they do it themselves. You don't wait for someone else. You do it yourself.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Men tend to gain wholeness by acquiring the qualities that are wrongly called feminine.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Why are solutions not just as newsworthy as problems? The notion that hostility is necessary all the time to create interest and news is not going to help us [humanity] come to agreements and solve the huge problems we have.
Gloria Steinem

I think that there is clearly an understanding that the women's market is an important market. It's still often perceived as separate when it's not.
