More quotes by Gloria Steinem
A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
Gloria Steinem
I think we acquire habits of mind when we're little, and I lived in the future because I was always imagining being a grown-up, when I could get out.
Gloria Steinem
The premise of most media is that only conflict is newsworthy. And that's just not true. I think for a lot of men, too - certainly for most women - there's enough real conflict without manufacturing it. The media formula is always to have a pro and con, to say there are two sides to any issue, when in fact there may be ten sides.
Gloria Steinem
If you're going to have a male dominant system, to maintain the system, you have to teach men to dominate.
Gloria Steinem
The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols-all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent s needs.
Gloria Steinem
When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.
Gloria Steinem
Religion is often politics made sacred.
Gloria Steinem
Economics anxiety may be even more common than the often identified 'math anxiety,' for unlike math, which has its personal uses, economics is seen as a mysterious set of forces manipulated from above.
Gloria Steinem
I've only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn't have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That's so rare.
Gloria Steinem
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
Gloria Steinem
I can't mate in captivity.
Gloria Steinem
Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.
Gloria Steinem
The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example.
Gloria Steinem
We know from many forms of suffering that what is important first is a witness - people want to know that someone else knows what's happening, that they're not alone - and someone who listens to what is needed and tries to help.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism isn't called the longest revolution for nothing.
Gloria Steinem
I will no longer be referred to as Miss Steinem of Ms. magazine.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.
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
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
