More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
Gloria Steinem
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
Gloria Steinem
change starts at the bottom. I think we're disempowered by the idea that it starts at the top, when really change is like a tree. It does start at the bottom.
Gloria Steinem
We need to stop raising boys to think that they need to prove their masculinity by being controlling or by not showing emotion or by not being little girls.
Gloria Steinem
Housewives are dependent creatures who are still children…parasites.
Gloria Steinem
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Gloria Steinem
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't even in a newspaper office where I was getting assignments in competition with other people. I remember earlier, though, that I knew a young woman who had been published in the New Yorker, and I was so jealous of her. It wasn't exactly a personal competition. I just envied that accomplishment.
Gloria Steinem
Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.
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.
Gloria Steinem
Go out and find your own stories.That is what I want to tell you.
Gloria Steinem
For a man to say, I have to leave work now because I need to do something with my kids, it's sometimes viewed as a career killer. He doesn't have the right drive. So when they depart from their gender roles, they face some of the same restrictions.
Gloria Steinem
A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying.
Gloria Steinem
We have to know before we can act.
Gloria Steinem
Having someone who looks like us but thinks like them is worse than having no one at all.
Gloria Steinem
Marriage works best for men than women. The two happiest groups are married men and unmarried women.
Gloria Steinem
Severe opposition is a measure of success (because) one inevitable result of winning a majority change in consciousness is a backlash from those forces whose power depended on the old one.
Gloria Steinem
Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.
Gloria Steinem
There's one logical generational difference and that is that young women will have more chances to support a female president than older women. Older women feel it's their last chance, so that's just a factual, obvious difference. But other than that it depends on experience, on individual experience.
Gloria Steinem
Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.
Gloria Steinem
