More quotes by Gloria Steinem
you never know which thing you do is going to turn out to be important. I'm sure we've all done very small things that had very great impact and very big things that didn't make any difference. So, create the means that best reflect the ends we want. Try to make each moment authentic, and you'll get to an authentic end.
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
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
Gloria Steinem
The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.

It's going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it's going to take a while to get out.
Gloria Steinem
A movement happens when people are inspired by somebody, but they do it themselves. You don't wait for someone else. You do it yourself.
Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
Gloria Steinem
We're communal animals. If we're by ourselves, we can feel wrong and crazy and out of step with society. We really need those talking circles.
Gloria Steinem
I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
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
It used to be said that this country was a child-centered one. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children have been our lowest priority, both in economic and emotional spending.
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
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
In the last 25 years, we've convinced ourselves and a majority of the country that women can do what men can do. Now we have to convince the majority of the country - and ourselves - that men can do what women can do. ... Let's face it: until men are fully equal inside the home, women will never be really equal outside it.
Gloria Steinem
It's a fundamental human right to decide to have children or not to have children.
Gloria Steinem
Now we know that women can do what men can do..., but we don't know that men can do what women can do.
Gloria Steinem
Writing is always harder than talking.
