More quotes by 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
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
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
Society certainly encourages women to be victims in every way. I mean if we want approval, we have to sing the blues, even as singers we sing the blues.
Gloria Steinem
Everyone is unique and each experience is different.
Gloria Steinem
There were never that many women stand-up comics in the past because the power to make people laugh is also a power that gets people upset.
Gloria Steinem
I'm more often confronted by women who come from religious traditions and don't feel that they have a place in the feminist movement. I've felt pressure when reporters asked me, Do you believe in God? I do say, No. I believe in people.
Gloria Steinem
[On gender-rating by insurance companies:] They say the reason they get to charge more is we have children. I would say having children is a socially useful act. Being female is not a preexisting condition.
Gloria Steinem
The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.
Gloria Steinem
We have to know before we can act.
Gloria Steinem
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
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
The political is personal.
Gloria Steinem
An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
Gloria Steinem
anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn't, that's judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses.
Gloria Steinem
Law and justice are not always the same.
Gloria Steinem
Before feminism, work was largely defined as what men did or would do. Thus, a working woman was someone who labored outside the home for money, masculine-style.
Gloria Steinem
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
Gloria Steinem
One of the things I understood from early on was that art was a symbol of systemic inequity.
Gloria Steinem
A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying.
