Feminism isn't called the longest revolution for nothing.
Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem
Image
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem

Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I can't tell the difference between my work life and my private life - it's all the same to me.
Gloria Steinem
Image
You are the leader you've been waiting for.

it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.

I've finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.
