Labeling makes the invisible visible, but it's limiting. Categories are the enemy of connecting. Link, don't rank.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I think that there is clearly an understanding that the women's market is an important market. It's still often perceived as separate when it's not.
Gloria Steinem
Image
It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.
Gloria Steinem

A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
Gloria Steinem
Image
What I think we need to do is infuse everyday and every action with the kind of values we hope will be in the future, with kindness, with nurturing, with dreams, ambition, using your talents, not resorting to violence, other forms of conflict resolution, with humor, with poetry, with music.
Gloria Steinem

Having someone who looks like us but thinks like them is worse than having no one at all.
Gloria Steinem
Image
It's going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it's going to take a while to get out.

You have no choice but to live in the present, if you're really being open to events and people as they come along.
Gloria Steinem
Image
This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.

Image
Housewives are dependent creatures who are still children…parasites.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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.

Image
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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
Image
I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.
Gloria Steinem
Image
People say, 'Oh, you've sacrificed so much, now's the time to do something for yourself.' I mean, please - that is so wrong. I don't think I've sacrificed one f-king thing.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I have me brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.

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.
