More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I once fell in love with a man only because we both belonged to that large and secret club of children who had crazy mothers. We traded stories of the shameless houses to which we could never invite our friends.
Gloria Steinem
I never expected to be even busier at 81, and doing more of what I love, than when I was 30.
Gloria Steinem
Sadomasochiasm - which we know very well doesn't exist in societies that don't have child abuse - is regarded some sort of natural sexual expression.
Gloria Steinem
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it's just like life. And therefore it's not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn't work.
Gloria Steinem
Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
Gloria Steinem
The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
Gloria Steinem
Women are never again going to be mindless coffee-makers or mindless policy-makers in politics.
Gloria Steinem
The uncomfortable truth seems to be that the amount of talk by women has been measured less against the amount of men's talk than against the expectation of female silence.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
Self-esteem starts out as a personal blessing, but it becomes nothing less than an evolutionary force.
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
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
Gloria Steinem
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.
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
The point of the journey is not just healing. It's also recovering the truest, most spontaneous, joyful, and creative core of ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
You have no choice but to live in the present, if you're really being open to events and people as they come along.
Gloria Steinem
Don't listen to me. Listen to yourself ... People often ask me at this age, 'Who am I passing the torch to?' First of all, I'm not giving up my torch, thank you! I'm using my torch to light other people's torches. ... If we each have a torch, there's a lot more light.
Gloria Steinem
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
Gloria Steinem
anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn't, that's judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses.
