Why are solutions not just as newsworthy as problems? The notion that hostility is necessary all the time to create interest and news is not going to help us [humanity] come to agreements and solve the huge problems we have.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.
Gloria Steinem
no one ever got radicalized by being grateful
Gloria Steinem
One of the things I understood from early on was that art was a symbol of systemic inequity.
Gloria Steinem
Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage
Gloria Steinem
Girls are taught to view their bodies as unending projects to work on, whereas boys from a young age, are taught to view their bodies as tools to master their environment
Gloria Steinem
A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
Gloria Steinem
More and more men are raising children or want to be close to their kids. They don't want to just lead work-obsessed lives and end up 50 years later with an engraved watch.
Gloria Steinem
We know from many forms of suffering that what is important first is a witness - people want to know that someone else knows what's happening, that they're not alone - and someone who listens to what is needed and tries to help.
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
I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.
Gloria Steinem
you never know which thing you do is going to turn out to be important. I'm sure we've all done very small things that had very great impact and very big things that didn't make any difference. So, create the means that best reflect the ends we want. Try to make each moment authentic, and you'll get to an authentic end.
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
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
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Gloria Steinem
There's no greater gift than thinking that you had some impact on the world, for the better.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever a 'superior' group has will be used to justify its superiority, and whatever an 'inferior' group has will be used to justify its plight. Black men were given poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'stronger' than white men, while all women were relegated to poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'weaker.
Gloria Steinem
We have to know before we can act.
Gloria Steinem
Housewives are dependent creatures who are still children…parasites.
Gloria Steinem
Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.
Gloria Steinem
Self-esteem isn't everything it's just that there's nothing without it.
