If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.
Gloria Steinem
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
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
Image
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.

If we have reproductive freedom, that is the ability to decide for ourselves when and whether to have children and what happens to our bodies, sexism can be reversed. It's the understanding that it's not inevitable. I think that is crucial.

Romance is a means to the end of self-completion, but love is an end in itself.
Gloria Steinem
Image
This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.

Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
Image
It's endlessly interesting to be organizing and hearing possible solutions or thinking of possible solutions and how to put efforts together. It makes everything else boring, actually.
Gloria Steinem
Image
By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The nineteenth-century wave of feminism was started by older women who had been through the radicalizing experience of getting married and becoming the legal chattel of their husbands (or the equally radicalizing experience of not getting married and being treated as spinsters).
Gloria Steinem
Image
The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.

Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage
Gloria Steinem
Image
Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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.

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
