More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Life after 50 or 60 is itself another country, as different as adolescence is from childhood, or as adulthood is from adolescence - and just as adventurous.
Gloria Steinem
Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.
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
Go out and find your own stories.That is what I want to tell you.
Gloria Steinem
I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.
Gloria Steinem
The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
Gloria Steinem
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
I think we acquire habits of mind when we're little, and I lived in the future because I was always imagining being a grown-up, when I could get out.
Gloria Steinem
One act of violence takes four generations to heal.
Gloria Steinem
There's one logical generational difference and that is that young women will have more chances to support a female president than older women. Older women feel it's their last chance, so that's just a factual, obvious difference. But other than that it depends on experience, on individual experience.
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
No other form of violence is legitimate. It is never acceptable to use violence to solve a problem. Whether personal or political.
Gloria Steinem
Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.
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
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
Gloria Steinem
It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.
Gloria Steinem
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
Gloria Steinem
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.
Gloria Steinem
There's no emotion more revolutionary than empathy.
Gloria Steinem
The idea that women don't smell fine on our own is a problem.
Gloria Steinem
