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.

More quotes by 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
The patterns that are normalized in the family - the whole idea that some people cook and some people eat, that some listen and others talk, and even that some people control others in very economic or even violent ways - that kind of hierarchy is what makes us vulnerable to believing in class hierarchy, to believing in racial hierarchy, and so on.
Gloria Steinem
A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever the gender of the participants, all pornography including male-male gay pornography is an imitation of the male-female, conqueror-victim paradigm, and almost all of it actually portrays or implies enslaved women and master.
Gloria Steinem
Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in.
Gloria Steinem
I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.
Gloria Steinem
There's a big gap between public opinion polls and the vote in Washington, in Congress. The majority consciousness has changed, and often that has made very clear, practical changes in our daily lives, but the centers of power are still not occupied, for the most part, by this new consciousness.
Gloria Steinem
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion.
Gloria Steinem
Labeling makes the invisible visible, but it's limiting. Categories are the enemy of connecting. Link, don't rank.
Gloria Steinem
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
Gloria Steinem
One of our biggest problems in terms of effectiveness is that we have hopes, but our opposition has interests. We measure everything against our hopes, including politicians that we are voting for or choosing amongst. We don't measure up to our hopes ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem
Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they're disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment.
Gloria Steinem
The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.
Gloria Steinem
I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.
Gloria Steinem
I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.
Gloria Steinem
We will live to see the day that St. Patrick's Cathedral is a child-care center and the pope is no longer a disgrace to the skirt that he has on.
