More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I never expected to be even busier at 81, and doing more of what I love, than when I was 30.
Gloria Steinem
I'm completely happy not having children. I mean, everybody does not have to live in the same way. And as somebody said, Everybody with a womb doesn't have to have a child any more than everybody with vocal cords has to be an opera singer.
Gloria Steinem
A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
Gloria Steinem
She is a water bug on the surface of life.
Gloria Steinem
We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.

Liberation does not come from outside.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't even in a newspaper office where I was getting assignments in competition with other people. I remember earlier, though, that I knew a young woman who had been published in the New Yorker, and I was so jealous of her. It wasn't exactly a personal competition. I just envied that accomplishment.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism is not antisexuality. On the contrary. It says that sexuality shouldn't be confused with violence and dominance and that it should be a matter of free choice. It shouldn't be forced on you by economics, including dependence on a husband, or by pressure.
Gloria Steinem
I always trust the microcosm over the macrocosm.
Gloria Steinem
Thank you for all your good and beautiful work.
Gloria Steinem
One of the things I understood from early on was that art was a symbol of systemic inequity.
Gloria Steinem
I can't mate in captivity.
Gloria Steinem
A good friendship is a conversation that never ends.
Gloria Steinem
It's not okay for a woman to be in control of her own body, her own reproductive system, much less of her life. There's opposition even to that. So passivity is rewarded as feminine.
Gloria Steinem
no one ever got radicalized by being grateful
Gloria Steinem
There's going to be a demand for perfectionism on the part of Hillary Clinton, or any other pro-equality woman candidate, that would not be made of men. There are going to be attacks based on different standards of morality and different standards of dress and physical attractiveness.
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.
