Gloria Steinem
If [George] Zimmerman had been arrested for domestic violence, Trayvon Martin might still be alive.
Gloria Steinem
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
There's no greater gift than thinking that you had some impact on the world, for the better.
Gloria Steinem
If you have two groups of people and you say one is inferior to the other, which is a lie, then the only way to maintain the lie is through violence or the threat of violence.

Gloria Steinem
More women are becoming the men they wanted to marry, but too few men are becoming the women they wanted to marry. That leaves most women with two jobs, one outside the home and one in it.
Gloria Steinem
If women could sleep their way to the top, there'd be a lot more women at the top.
Gloria Steinem
We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature.
Gloria Steinem
Women are never again going to be mindless coffee-makers or mindless policy-makers in politics.
Gloria Steinem
Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.
Gloria Steinem
I would say don't worry about what you should do, do whatever you can. And seek companions with shared values.
Gloria Steinem
It's hard to measure success when we're dealing with between 500 and 5,000 years of patriarchy depending on which continent we sit, so I would say feminism has been successful and we have a huge distance to go, huge.
Gloria Steinem
People start to talk about post-racist, post-feminist. What does that mean? We're clearly not post either. Would you say post-democracy? Clearly we haven't reached true democracy yet.
Gloria Steinem
A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
Gloria Steinem
When gender comes down upon us, male or female, it comes as a restriction.
