More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Everyone is unique and each experience is different.
Gloria Steinem
In almost any situation, if you have been the powerful one, which would tend to be men more than women but not always, it's very important to listen as much as you talk. If you have been the less powerful one, it's very important to talk as much as you listen.
Gloria Steinem
Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage
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
Reporters immediately push their interviewees into the most extreme version by saying in a shocked tone, 'Well, are you saying that ... They're trying to make people be as hostile and opposed to each other as possible because they think only conflict is news.
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
Violence against women is clearly not solved, not at all solved, and the reasons for it, which are controlling women's bodies in order to control reproduction, are definitely not solved.
Gloria Steinem
I haven't been in a job situation in which I was competing with other women. As a writer, you're more likely to be treated as an individual.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism isn't called the longest revolution for nothing.
Gloria Steinem
For a man to say, I have to leave work now because I need to do something with my kids, it's sometimes viewed as a career killer. He doesn't have the right drive. So when they depart from their gender roles, they face some of the same restrictions.
Gloria Steinem
I don't like writing. I like having written.
Gloria Steinem
Patriarchy 101 would have you believe otherwise, but you know - that's just not true. Those inequalities are recipes for resentment. And, yes, the formula isn't perfect yet. We don't all have that. But we're trying.
Gloria Steinem
The need to treat ourselves as well as we treat others. It's women's version of the Golden Rule.
Gloria Steinem
Perhaps the worst thing about suffering is that it finally hardens the hearts of those around it.
Gloria Steinem
I think of the future in two ways - survival plus moving forward. Under survival, I would put all the efforts to save the female half of the world from violence directed at us specifically because we are female.
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
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.
Gloria Steinem
For the reader who has put away comic books, but isn't yet ready for editorials in the Daily News.
Gloria Steinem
It's especially ridiculous to think you have to be successful when you're so young. You should be able to adventure and not worry so much about achievement.
Gloria Steinem
