More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Self-esteem starts out as a personal blessing, but it becomes nothing less than an evolutionary force.
Gloria Steinem
Society certainly encourages women to be victims in every way. I mean if we want approval, we have to sing the blues, even as singers we sing the blues.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.
Gloria Steinem
No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.
Gloria Steinem
I can't tell the difference between my work life and my private life - it's all the same to me.
Gloria Steinem
Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
Gloria Steinem
Don't listen to me. Listen to yourself ... People often ask me at this age, 'Who am I passing the torch to?' First of all, I'm not giving up my torch, thank you! I'm using my torch to light other people's torches. ... If we each have a torch, there's a lot more light.
Gloria Steinem
Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!
Gloria Steinem
I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.
Gloria Steinem
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Gloria Steinem
Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.
Gloria Steinem
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
Gloria Steinem
In the last 25 years, we've convinced ourselves and a majority of the country that women can do what men can do. Now we have to convince the majority of the country - and ourselves - that men can do what women can do. ... Let's face it: until men are fully equal inside the home, women will never be really equal outside it.
Gloria Steinem
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
If technology and medicine are used by women to have children or not to have children or to have healthier children - that's one thing. But if it's used to say, 'You're not a real woman unless you have a child, therefore take all these dangerous hormones and have one at 54, then it's another story.
Gloria Steinem
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.
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
We are literally linked in a circle, including with nature, as well as with other human beings. Old societies didn't have and still don't have he and she. They don't have gendered pronouns. They don't have a word for nature, because we're not separate from nature.
Gloria Steinem
The point of the journey is not just healing. It's also recovering the truest, most spontaneous, joyful, and creative core of ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism isn't called the longest revolution for nothing.
