It's hard to measure success when we're dealing with between 500 and 5,000 years of patriarchy depending on which continent we sit, so I would say feminism has been successful and we have a huge distance to go, huge.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
It's especially ridiculous to think you have to be successful when you're so young. You should be able to adventure and not worry so much about achievement.
Gloria Steinem
I was not considered beautiful before I was a feminist. I was a pretty girl before, but suddenly, after I was publicly identified as a feminist, I was beautiful. So, many people were really commenting on what they thought feminists looked like.
Gloria Steinem
A lot of my generation are living out the un-lived lives of our mothers.
Gloria Steinem
Everyone is unique and each experience is different.
Gloria Steinem
Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!
Gloria Steinem
So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?
Gloria Steinem
Men tend to gain wholeness by acquiring the qualities that are wrongly called feminine.
Gloria Steinem
We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature.
Gloria Steinem
The point of the journey is not just healing. It's also recovering the truest, most spontaneous, joyful, and creative core of ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
Gloria Steinem
If women could sleep their way to the top, there'd be a lot more women at the top.
Gloria Steinem
Why are solutions not just as newsworthy as problems? The notion that hostility is necessary all the time to create interest and news is not going to help us [humanity] come to agreements and solve the huge problems we have.
Gloria Steinem
For me, writing is the only thing that passes the three tests of metier: (1) when I'm doing it, I don't feel that I should be doing something else instead: (2) it produces a sense of accomplishment and, nce in a while, pride and (3) it's frightening.
Gloria Steinem
One of the things I understood from early on was that art was a symbol of systemic inequity.
Gloria Steinem
Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.
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
The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
Gloria Steinem
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
Gloria Steinem
The young women seem to think that they can only go out with or marry a man who is superior to them. The problem there is that they are wanting to be defeated, as opposed to finding a partner.
Gloria Steinem
I once fell in love with a man only because we both belonged to that large and secret club of children who had crazy mothers. We traded stories of the shameless houses to which we could never invite our friends.
