More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Whatever a 'superior' group has will be used to justify its superiority, and whatever an 'inferior' group has will be used to justify its plight. Black men were given poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'stronger' than white men, while all women were relegated to poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'weaker.
Gloria Steinem
I will no longer be referred to as Miss Steinem of Ms. magazine.
Gloria Steinem
change starts at the bottom. I think we're disempowered by the idea that it starts at the top, when really change is like a tree. It does start at the bottom.
Gloria Steinem
I can't mate in captivity.
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
I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.
Gloria Steinem
It's a big gift to be recognizable as part of something that matters to people, but that's not the same as being responsible for something.
Gloria Steinem
You are the leader you've been waiting for.
Gloria Steinem
There's more variation among human groups than between human groups.
Gloria Steinem
Writers are notorious for using any reason to keep from working: over-researching, retyping, going to meetings, waxing the floors - anything.
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
The patterns that are normalized in the family - the whole idea that some people cook and some people eat, that some listen and others talk, and even that some people control others in very economic or even violent ways - that kind of hierarchy is what makes us vulnerable to believing in class hierarchy, to believing in racial hierarchy, and so on.
Gloria Steinem
Go out and find your own stories.That is what I want to tell you.
Gloria Steinem
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
Racism is not real, it's made up, it's cruel, it can be stopped.
Gloria Steinem
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.
Gloria Steinem
I don't want to die saying but, you know? There's so much I want to do, so I want more time.
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
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
A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.
