More quotes by Gloria Steinem
If you let Barnum & Bailey interpret a plot by Stendahl, it might come out to be something like the 1972 Democratic convention.
Gloria Steinem
In almost any situation, if you have been the powerful one, which would tend to be men more than women but not always, it's very important to listen as much as you talk. If you have been the less powerful one, it's very important to talk as much as you listen.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
If you love your work, I'm not sure you have hobbies. I try to say no to things that other people could do and only say yes to things that only I could do.
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
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem
When you attempt something new, there's always fear. A couple of helpful slogans to me are follow the fear or fear is a sign of growth.
Gloria Steinem
I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life.
Gloria Steinem
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
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.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.
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 young women seem to think that they can only go out with or marry a man who is superior to them. The problem there is that they are wanting to be defeated, as opposed to finding a partner.
Gloria Steinem
Self-esteem isn't everything it's just that there's nothing without it.
Gloria Steinem
Male silence is not the same as listening
Gloria Steinem
Obviously, untangling sex from aggression and violence or the threat of it is going to take a very long time. And the process is going to be greatly resisted as a challenge to the very heart of male dominance and male centrality.
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
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 what's inside your dreams wasn't already real inside you, you couldn't even dream it.
Gloria Steinem
This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.
