More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I do not like to write - I like to have written.
Gloria Steinem
If you're raised in a house where it's okay for one group to eat and another to cook, or for one group to get more education money than the other or to be more free than the other, or where one parent gives in to the will of the other or may be verbally or even physically abused by the other. This gives you an idea of human worth.
Gloria Steinem
Racism is not real, it's made up, it's cruel, it can be stopped.
Gloria Steinem
I can't mate in captivity.
Gloria Steinem
Proust's tea cake has nothing on one hour in a college dorm.
Gloria Steinem
I want to say to you that there is life and dreams and surprises after 30-and 40, and 50, and 60, and 77! Believe me, life is one long surprise.
Gloria Steinem
Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it's just like life. And therefore it's not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn't work.
Gloria Steinem
You can't do it all. No one can have two full-time jobs, have perfect children and cook three meals and be multi-orgasmic 'til dawn ... Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.
Gloria Steinem
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.
Gloria Steinem
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
Gloria Steinem
I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life.
Gloria Steinem
Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.
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
Everyone is unique and each experience is different.
Gloria Steinem
It feels as if childhood sexual abuse or domestic abuse of women in the home has increased but actually if you ask women of 60 or 70 years old, the incidence is about the same. We just didn't know it.
Gloria Steinem
I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
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
Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.
Gloria Steinem
If women could sleep their way to the top, there'd be a lot more women at the top.
Gloria Steinem
I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.
Gloria Steinem
