More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I have me brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words.
Gloria Steinem
It's a fundamental human right to decide to have children or not to have children.
Gloria Steinem
Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in.
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
We know from many forms of suffering that what is important first is a witness - people want to know that someone else knows what's happening, that they're not alone - and someone who listens to what is needed and tries to help.
Gloria Steinem
Crime is not the problem of the victim, the victim didn't create the crime.
Gloria Steinem
We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.
Gloria Steinem
Having someone who looks like us but thinks like them is worse than having no one at all.
Gloria Steinem
I do not like to write - I like to have written.
Gloria Steinem
Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.
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
One act of violence takes four generations to heal.
Gloria Steinem
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.
Gloria Steinem
We are literally linked in a circle, including with nature, as well as with other human beings. Old societies didn't have and still don't have he and she. They don't have gendered pronouns. They don't have a word for nature, because we're not separate from nature.
Gloria Steinem
What we experience in our childhoods that comes to seem normal, or even inevitable, is that if you are placed in a hierarchy, you probably are immediately anxious about going further down and you're striving to go further up, so your energies get placed into becoming more than, or at least not becoming less than, instead of becoming part
Gloria Steinem
A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
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
Religion is often politics made sacred.
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
