More quotes by Gloria Steinem
A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
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
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
Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.
Gloria Steinem
People say, 'Oh, you've sacrificed so much, now's the time to do something for yourself.' I mean, please - that is so wrong. I don't think I've sacrificed one f-king thing.
Gloria Steinem
When you say something in a wrong group - it will never be right, so you can not say anything wrong, when you don't belong to a group.
Gloria Steinem
you never know which thing you do is going to turn out to be important. I'm sure we've all done very small things that had very great impact and very big things that didn't make any difference. So, create the means that best reflect the ends we want. Try to make each moment authentic, and you'll get to an authentic end.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.
Gloria Steinem
If you look at the public opinion polls even, support for all the issues, people who self-identify as feminists are as least as many as those who self-identify as Republicans.
Gloria Steinem
I feel that the people I see in the media are sometimes more real than I am, which is utter bullshit.
Gloria Steinem
Marriage works best for men than women. The two happiest groups are married men and unmarried women.
Gloria Steinem
When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.
Gloria Steinem
So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?
Gloria Steinem
You are the leader you've been waiting for.
Gloria Steinem
The dogma is that that dogma is a mistake.
Gloria Steinem
Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
Gloria Steinem
Progress is not automatic, it depends on what we do every day. So any statement of ownership of our own bodies, however that occurs in our individual lives or our community or our collective lives, is crucial.
Gloria Steinem
I was not considered beautiful before I was a feminist. I was a pretty girl before, but suddenly, after I was publicly identified as a feminist, I was beautiful. So, many people were really commenting on what they thought feminists looked like.
Gloria Steinem
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
It's going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it's going to take a while to get out.
