More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.
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
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
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.
Gloria Steinem
Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.
Gloria Steinem
One of our biggest problems in terms of effectiveness is that we have hopes, but our opposition has interests. We measure everything against our hopes, including politicians that we are voting for or choosing amongst. We don't measure up to our hopes ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
Women are always saying,We can do anything that men cando. But Men should be saying,We can do anything that women can do.
Gloria Steinem
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
Gloria Steinem
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem
The nineteenth-century wave of feminism was started by older women who had been through the radicalizing experience of getting married and becoming the legal chattel of their husbands (or the equally radicalizing experience of not getting married and being treated as spinsters).
Gloria Steinem
The road itself is informative, because it forces you to respond spontaneously and to encounter the unexpected. It forces you to reassess what you felt about people or issues or places, and it forces you to live in the present.
Gloria Steinem
One of the main problems of our time is that men are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called feminine, and women are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called masculine.
Gloria Steinem
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.
Gloria Steinem
There is no such thing as a crime of passion, only a crime of possession.
Gloria Steinem
Everyone is unique and each experience is different.
Gloria Steinem
I would put all the efforts to humanize the masculine and feminine gender roles that are the beginning of a false human hierarchy and normalize race, class and other systems of domination to come.
Gloria Steinem
By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.
Gloria Steinem
when pain has been intertwined with love and closeness, it's very difficult to believe that love and closeness can be experienced without pain.
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.
