Feminism isn't whatever you want it to be.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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.

Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.

You are the leader you've been waiting for.
Gloria Steinem
Image
This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.

Pornography is about dominance. Erotica is about mutuality.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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
Image
Severe opposition is a measure of success (because) one inevitable result of winning a majority change in consciousness is a backlash from those forces whose power depended on the old one.

All biographers, no matter how sympathetic, end up using their subjects as mirrors to figure themselves out. I don't want to be anyone's mirror.

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.

Too much of our lives corresponds to the 'lost-wallet' theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started.

I can't mate in captivity.
Gloria Steinem
Image
People are quite clear in viewing nuns as the servants and the teachers and the supporters of the poor. You contrast that with the fact that the Vatican did virtually nothing about long-known pedophiles, and it's just too much.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I spend a lot of time on college campuses, and I don't quite understand where the idea comes from that young women are not moving forward. In fact, statistically, if you look at the public opinion polls, young women are much more supportive of feminism and feminist issues than older women are.

Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.

There is a naive belief that injustice only had to be pointed out in order to be cured.

it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Labeling makes the invisible visible, but it's limiting. Categories are the enemy of connecting. Link, don't rank.
Gloria Steinem

I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.
