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.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
We feel very celebratory and positive that we have created a voyage across the DMZ in peace and reconciliation that was said to be impossible.
Gloria Steinem
change starts at the bottom. I think we're disempowered by the idea that it starts at the top, when really change is like a tree. It does start at the bottom.
Gloria Steinem
A portable friend to all readers-especia lly but not only women-who need to learn that the Golden Rule works only if it's reversible: We must learn to treat ourselves as well as we wish to treat others.
Gloria Steinem
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.
Gloria Steinem
I am terminally sentimental about graduations. They are more individual than weddings, more conscious than christenings, or bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs. They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals-though I assure you, there is life after graduation.
Gloria Steinem
We're communal animals. If we're by ourselves, we can feel wrong and crazy and out of step with society. We really need those talking circles.
Gloria Steinem
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
Gloria Steinem
Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they're disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment.
Gloria Steinem
I'm not sure that it's up to me to sum up what I've done with it in the past. I'm not sure there's a way of knowing what we have done that is useful or important.
Gloria Steinem
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
Gloria Steinem
The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example.
Gloria Steinem
Racism is not real, it's made up, it's cruel, it can be stopped.
Gloria Steinem
If you're going to have a male dominant system, to maintain the system, you have to teach men to dominate.
Gloria Steinem
Many ideas have been transformed by adding one crucial adjective-women's bank, women's music, women's studies, women's caucus. That adjective did more than change a phrase. It implied a lot of new content: child care, flexible work hours, new standards of creditworthiness, new symbolism, new lyrics.
Gloria Steinem
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
Reporters immediately push their interviewees into the most extreme version by saying in a shocked tone, 'Well, are you saying that ... They're trying to make people be as hostile and opposed to each other as possible because they think only conflict is news.
Gloria Steinem
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
Gloria Steinem
We need to raise our sons more like our daughters. We need to relieve them of this burden of the idea that to be masculine they have to be superior, which is what they get addicted to, and why both racism and sexism are crimes that I call superiority crimes.
Gloria Steinem
Anybody who has ever met a baby knows there is already a person in there.
