More quotes by Gloria Steinem
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.
Gloria Steinem
it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.
Gloria Steinem
We need to unlearn some of our respect for education, since it has undermined our respect for ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
No wonder male religious leaders so often say that humans were born in sin—because we were born to female creatures. Only by obeying the rules of the patriarchy can we be reborn through men. No wonder priests and ministers in skirts sprinkle imitation birth fluid over our heads, give us new names, and promise rebirth into everlasting life.
Gloria Steinem
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
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
Gloria Steinem
The belief that women should control our own bodies may be a majority belief, but the minority that believes otherwise is against not only safe and legal abortions but contraception and even sex education.
Gloria Steinem
It's endlessly interesting to be organizing and hearing possible solutions or thinking of possible solutions and how to put efforts together. It makes everything else boring, actually.
Gloria Steinem
The surest way to be alone is to get married.
Gloria Steinem
It's especially ridiculous to think you have to be successful when you're so young. You should be able to adventure and not worry so much about achievement.
Gloria Steinem
One of the main problems of our time is that men are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called feminine, and women are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called masculine.
Gloria Steinem
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
Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.
Gloria Steinem
Crime is not the problem of the victim, the victim didn't create the crime.
Gloria Steinem
I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.
Gloria Steinem
I'm more often confronted by women who come from religious traditions and don't feel that they have a place in the feminist movement. I've felt pressure when reporters asked me, Do you believe in God? I do say, No. I believe in people.
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
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
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.
