More quotes by Gloria Steinem
People start to talk about post-racist, post-feminist. What does that mean? We're clearly not post either. Would you say post-democracy? Clearly we haven't reached true democracy yet.
Gloria Steinem
It feels as if childhood sexual abuse or domestic abuse of women in the home has increased but actually if you ask women of 60 or 70 years old, the incidence is about the same. We just didn't know it.
Gloria Steinem
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
Gloria Steinem
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
Gloria Steinem
The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols-all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent s needs.
Gloria Steinem
We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.
Gloria Steinem
You have no choice but to live in the present, if you're really being open to events and people as they come along.
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 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
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
I want to say to you that there is life and dreams and surprises after 30-and 40, and 50, and 60, and 77! Believe me, life is one long surprise.
Gloria Steinem
I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.
Gloria Steinem
The cleanup costs of polluting a river, injecting pesticides into the ground water, or putting noxious gases into the air have not been figured into the cost of the manufacturing or agribusiness that put them there in the first place. Historically, the economic incentive has been to pollute.
Gloria Steinem
There is no such thing as a crime of passion, only a crime of possession.
Gloria Steinem
Obviously, untangling sex from aggression and violence or the threat of it is going to take a very long time. And the process is going to be greatly resisted as a challenge to the very heart of male dominance and male centrality.
Gloria Steinem
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
Gloria Steinem
We need to unlearn some of our respect for education, since it has undermined our respect for ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
As a profession, freelance writing is notoriously insecure. That's the first argument in its favor. For many reasons, a few of them rational, the thought of knowing exactly what next year's accomplishments, routine, income, and vacation will be - or even what time I have to get up tomorrow morning - has always depressed me.
Gloria Steinem
When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.
Gloria Steinem
Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.
