More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Gratitude never radicalized anybody. I don't care if they recognize the past, I just want them to get angry about the present and keep going.
Gloria Steinem
The premise of most media is that only conflict is newsworthy. And that's just not true. I think for a lot of men, too - certainly for most women - there's enough real conflict without manufacturing it. The media formula is always to have a pro and con, to say there are two sides to any issue, when in fact there may be ten sides.
Gloria Steinem
I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life.
Gloria Steinem
I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion.
Gloria Steinem
Many ideas have been transformed by adding one crucial adjective-women's bank, women's music, women's studies, women's caucus. That adjective did more than change a phrase. It implied a lot of new content: child care, flexible work hours, new standards of creditworthiness, new symbolism, new lyrics.
Gloria Steinem
The most common characteristic of women's history is to be lost and discovered, lost again and rediscovered, lost once more and re-rediscovered - a process of tragic waste and terrible silences that will continue until women's stories are a full and equal part of the human story.
Gloria Steinem
Severe opposition is a measure of success (because) one inevitable result of winning a majority change in consciousness is a backlash from those forces whose power depended on the old one.
Gloria Steinem
Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage
Gloria Steinem
As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing. It has always been clear to me that the stories of each other's lives are our best textbooks.
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
Society certainly encourages women to be victims in every way. I mean if we want approval, we have to sing the blues, even as singers we sing the blues.
Gloria Steinem
When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was, and that my real parents were going to come get me. I was just too different from the rest of the family, so I lived in books and in my imagination.
Gloria Steinem
It feels as if childhood sexual abuse or domestic abuse of women in the home has increased but actually if you ask women of 60 or 70 years old, the incidence is about the same. We just didn't know it.
Gloria Steinem
To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.
Gloria Steinem
Sexuality has always been for humans a form of communication, a way we express love and caring and bonding, not only a way we have children if we choose to.
Gloria Steinem
Our children are the only people on whom we can safely take revenge for what was done to us.
Gloria Steinem
For the reader who has put away comic books, but isn't yet ready for editorials in the Daily News.
Gloria Steinem
Women have always been an equal part of the past. We just havent been a part of history.
Gloria Steinem
In my own mind, I am still a fat brunette from Toledo, and I always will be.
Gloria Steinem
Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.
