Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

Gloria Steinem
Image
Crime is not the problem of the victim, the victim didn't create the crime.
Gloria Steinem
Image
More women are becoming the men they wanted to marry, but too few men are becoming the women they wanted to marry. That leaves most women with two jobs, one outside the home and one in it.
Gloria Steinem
Image
This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.
Gloria Steinem
Image
One of the main problems of our time is that men are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called feminine, and women are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called masculine.
Gloria Steinem
Image
God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back.

Image
Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.

In almost any situation, if you have been the powerful one, which would tend to be men more than women but not always, it's very important to listen as much as you talk. If you have been the less powerful one, it's very important to talk as much as you listen.

Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.
