More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Looking at traditional marriages, it seems the surest way for a woman to be alone is to get married.
Gloria Steinem
It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.
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 definition of woman's work is shitwork.
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
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
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
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
Gloria Steinem
I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.
Gloria Steinem
For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.
Gloria Steinem
The Internet is an almost miraculous way of getting information, of finding and organizing with each other, both minutely and globally. A million times better than the phone and the mimeograph! Also much better than TV, which is one-way and passive.
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
What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?
Gloria Steinem
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
Gloria Steinem
The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.
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
I once fell in love with a man only because we both belonged to that large and secret club of children who had crazy mothers. We traded stories of the shameless houses to which we could never invite our friends.
Gloria Steinem
Pornography is about dominance. Erotica is about mutuality.
Gloria Steinem
I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.
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
