More quotes by Gloria Steinem
You have no choice but to live in the present, if you're really being open to events and people as they come along.
Gloria Steinem
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
Gloria Steinem
It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.
Gloria Steinem
A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
Gloria Steinem
Gratitude never radicalized anybody. I don't care if they recognize the past, I just want them to get angry about the present and keep going.
Gloria Steinem
Women with body image or eating disorders are not a special category [they’re] just more extreme in their response to a culture that emphasizes thinness and impossible standards of appearance for women instead of individuality and health.
Gloria Steinem
I've finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.
Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem
Most women are one man away from welfare.
Gloria Steinem
It's never to late for a happy childhood.
Gloria Steinem
Even when educators survey grade school texts and create new bibliographies to help teachers include Asians, Eskimos, and other Americans, females in and out of those groups may be down-played or forgotten.
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
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
There's more variation among human groups than between human groups.
Gloria Steinem
Patriarchy 101 would have you believe otherwise, but you know - that's just not true. Those inequalities are recipes for resentment. And, yes, the formula isn't perfect yet. We don't all have that. But we're trying.
Gloria Steinem
A good friendship is a conversation that never ends.
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.
Gloria Steinem
The cleanup costs of polluting a river, injecting pesticides into the ground water, or putting noxious gases into the air have not been figured into the cost of the manufacturing or agribusiness that put them there in the first place. Historically, the economic incentive has been to pollute.
Gloria Steinem
I think we all have the power to name ourselves. I try to call people what it is they wish to be called. But we can take the sting out of epithets and bad words by using them.
Gloria Steinem
A lot of my generation are living out the un-lived lives of our mothers.
