Too much of our lives corresponds to the 'lost-wallet' theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.
Gloria Steinem
Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.
Gloria Steinem
Proust's tea cake has nothing on one hour in a college dorm.
Gloria Steinem
Patriarchy 101 would have you believe otherwise, but you know - that's just not true. Those inequalities are recipes for resentment. And, yes, the formula isn't perfect yet. We don't all have that. But we're trying.
Gloria Steinem
Life after 50 or 60 is itself another country, as different as adolescence is from childhood, or as adulthood is from adolescence - and just as adventurous.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism isn't whatever you want it to be.
Gloria Steinem
The idea that women don't smell fine on our own is a problem.
Gloria Steinem
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
Gloria Steinem
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
Gloria Steinem
Looking at traditional marriages, it seems the surest way for a woman to be alone is to get married.
Gloria Steinem
Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.
Gloria Steinem
Sadomasochiasm - which we know very well doesn't exist in societies that don't have child abuse - is regarded some sort of natural sexual expression.
Gloria Steinem
I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
Gloria Steinem
When you say something in a wrong group - it will never be right, so you can not say anything wrong, when you don't belong to a group.
Gloria Steinem
Economic systems are not value-free columns of numbers based on rules of reason, but ways of expressing what varying societies believe is important.
Gloria Steinem
the less powerful group usually knows the powerful one much better than vice versa - blacks have had to understand whites in order to survive, women have had to know men - yet the powerful group can afford to regard the less powerful one as a mystery.
Gloria Steinem
People are quite clear in viewing nuns as the servants and the teachers and the supporters of the poor. You contrast that with the fact that the Vatican did virtually nothing about long-known pedophiles, and it's just too much.
Gloria Steinem
Now we know that women can do what men can do..., but we don't know that men can do what women can do.
Gloria Steinem
women used to be elected only when their husbands died and they became widows. The men found this was too hard on them. That's why they've become feminists.
