More quotes by 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
I never expected to be even busier at 81, and doing more of what I love, than when I was 30.
Gloria Steinem
If you're raised in a house where it's okay for one group to eat and another to cook, or for one group to get more education money than the other or to be more free than the other, or where one parent gives in to the will of the other or may be verbally or even physically abused by the other. This gives you an idea of human worth.
Gloria Steinem
During years of working for a living, I have experienced much of the legal and social discrimination reserved for women in this country, I have been refused service in public restaurants, ordered out of public gathering places and turned away from apartment rentals. All for the clearly stated, sole reason that I am a woman.
Gloria Steinem
There's a big gap between public opinion polls and the vote in Washington, in Congress. The majority consciousness has changed, and often that has made very clear, practical changes in our daily lives, but the centers of power are still not occupied, for the most part, by this new consciousness.
Gloria Steinem
When gender comes down upon us, male or female, it comes as a restriction.
Gloria Steinem
Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.
Gloria Steinem
Romance is a means to the end of self-completion, but love is an end in itself.
Gloria Steinem
A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying.
Gloria Steinem
The most common characteristic of women's history is to be lost and discovered, lost again and rediscovered, lost once more and re-rediscovered - a process of tragic waste and terrible silences that will continue until women's stories are a full and equal part of the human story.
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
A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
Gloria Steinem
The problem is that America is still so racist - I guess it's hard to find another word for it - that they still, the press in general and many people, perceive only white women as feminists. They think black women are black.
Gloria Steinem
She is a water bug on the surface of life.
Gloria Steinem
I am terminally sentimental about graduations. They are more individual than weddings, more conscious than christenings, or bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs. They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals-though I assure you, there is life after graduation.
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
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
Gloria Steinem
Proust's tea cake has nothing on one hour in a college dorm.
Gloria Steinem
When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was, and that my real parents were going to come get me. I was just too different from the rest of the family, so I lived in books and in my imagination.
Gloria Steinem
One act of violence takes four generations to heal.
