Quote

It's important that we recognize how extreme the Republicans are in almost every case and how against our self-interest it is to vote for them whether or not we are disappointed with the current crew. At least they believe in the Constitution. At least they have an idea of economic justice. The Republicans are devoted to creating more rich folks.

Crime is not the problem of the victim, the victim didn't create the crime.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Women have always been an equal part of the past. We just havent been a part of history.
Gloria Steinem
Image
To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.
Gloria Steinem
Image
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
Image
anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn't, that's judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Life after 50 or 60 is itself another country, as different as adolescence is from childhood, or as adulthood is from adolescence - and just as adventurous.
Gloria Steinem
Image
the less powerful group usually knows the powerful one much better than vice versa - blacks have had to understand whites in order to survive, women have had to know men - yet the powerful group can afford to regard the less powerful one as a mystery.

Image
You can hardly open a newspaper without seeing that a woman has been killed by a man for clearly gender-related reasons.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I would say don't worry about what you should do, do whatever you can. And seek companions with shared values.

Image
In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Sex and race, because they are easy and visible differences, have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour on which this system still depends.
Gloria Steinem
Image
There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we're arranged in a hierarchy, that we're ranked rather than linked.
Gloria Steinem
Image
If women could sleep their way to the top, there'd be a lot more women at the top.
Gloria Steinem
Image
For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.

Logic is in the eye of the logician.

Image
Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.

You can't be what you can't see, so it's harder for women to say, I'm going to be a [presidential] candidate, so we need to go to women who would be good candidates and say, You would be a good candidate and I'll help you. It's not a passive question, it's not when will it happen, but an active question, when will we make it happen?
