More quotes by 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
In the late '60s, people were saying we need power to, not power over. Power to do, accomplish, create, not power over other people.
Gloria Steinem
Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they're disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment.
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
Women have always been an equal part of the past. We just havent been a part of history.
Gloria Steinem
When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.
Gloria Steinem
More and more men are raising children or want to be close to their kids. They don't want to just lead work-obsessed lives and end up 50 years later with an engraved watch.
Gloria Steinem
I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.
Gloria Steinem
I'm still the same person who grew up mostly in a Midwestern, factory-working neighborhood where talk about self-esteem would have seemed like a luxury.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.
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
Before feminism, work was largely defined as what men did or would do. Thus, a working woman was someone who labored outside the home for money, masculine-style.
Gloria Steinem
God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back.
Gloria Steinem
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem
Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism isn't whatever you want it to be.
Gloria Steinem
... anything a powerful group has is perceived as good, no matter what it is, and anything a less powerful group has is not so good, no matter how intrinsically great it might be.
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
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
That's a huge fear for middle-class women. It's not so much a fear for poor women, because poor women have always assumed that they are going to have to support themselves. It's middle-class women who have this fantasy that somebody else is going to support them.
