More quotes by Gloria Steinem
It's a big gift to be recognizable as part of something that matters to people, but that's not the same as being responsible for something.
Gloria Steinem
the less powerful group usually knows the powerful one much better than vice versa - blacks have had to understand whites in order to survive, women have had to know men - yet the powerful group can afford to regard the less powerful one as a mystery.
Gloria Steinem
You can't do it all. No one can have two full-time jobs, have perfect children and cook three meals and be multi-orgasmic 'til dawn ... Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.
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 have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
Gloria Steinem
How ever sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, religion or all four.
Gloria Steinem
Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.
Gloria Steinem
If you love your work, I'm not sure you have hobbies. I try to say no to things that other people could do and only say yes to things that only I could do.
Gloria Steinem
When gender comes down upon us, male or female, it comes as a restriction.
Gloria Steinem
I'm completely happy not having children. I mean, everybody does not have to live in the same way. And as somebody said, Everybody with a womb doesn't have to have a child any more than everybody with vocal cords has to be an opera singer.
Gloria Steinem
More women are becoming the men they wanted to marry, but too few men are becoming the women they wanted to marry. That leaves most women with two jobs, one outside the home and one in it.
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
Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.
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
If [George] Zimmerman had been arrested for domestic violence, Trayvon Martin might still be alive.
Gloria Steinem
The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.
Gloria Steinem
Liberation does not come from outside.
Gloria Steinem
It used to be said that this country was a child-centered one. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children have been our lowest priority, both in economic and emotional spending.
Gloria Steinem
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.
Gloria Steinem
The dogma is that that dogma is a mistake.
Gloria Steinem
