More quotes by Gloria Steinem
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
Gloria Steinem
we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud
Gloria Steinem
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
Gloria Steinem
I would put all the efforts to humanize the masculine and feminine gender roles that are the beginning of a false human hierarchy and normalize race, class and other systems of domination to come.
Gloria Steinem
The need to treat ourselves as well as we treat others. It's women's version of the Golden Rule.
Gloria Steinem
What we experience in our childhoods that comes to seem normal, or even inevitable, is that if you are placed in a hierarchy, you probably are immediately anxious about going further down and you're striving to go further up, so your energies get placed into becoming more than, or at least not becoming less than, instead of becoming part
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
Crime is not the problem of the victim, the victim didn't create the crime.
Gloria Steinem
Anybody who has ever met a baby knows there is already a person in there.
Gloria Steinem
Logic is in the eye of the logician.
Gloria Steinem
The human body is not obscene, sexuality is not obscene. But it [pornography] is not sex, it is violence. It encourages acceptance of the idea that violence is a legitimate part of sexuality.
Gloria Steinem
The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example.
Gloria Steinem
Romance is a means to the end of self-completion, but love is an end in itself.
Gloria Steinem
Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.
Gloria Steinem
An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
Gloria Steinem
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
Gloria Steinem
The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.
Gloria Steinem
She is a water bug on the surface of life.
Gloria Steinem
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
