More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Don't listen to me. Listen to yourself ... People often ask me at this age, 'Who am I passing the torch to?' First of all, I'm not giving up my torch, thank you! I'm using my torch to light other people's torches. ... If we each have a torch, there's a lot more light.
Gloria Steinem
I hate when people say, Have fun at the press preview. Fun is talking to you.
Gloria Steinem
Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they're disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment.
Gloria Steinem
The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.
Gloria Steinem
That's a huge fear for middle-class women. It's not so much a fear for poor women, because poor women have always assumed that they are going to have to support themselves. It's middle-class women who have this fantasy that somebody else is going to support them.

change starts at the bottom. I think we're disempowered by the idea that it starts at the top, when really change is like a tree. It does start at the bottom.

A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
Gloria Steinem
There's one logical generational difference and that is that young women will have more chances to support a female president than older women. Older women feel it's their last chance, so that's just a factual, obvious difference. But other than that it depends on experience, on individual experience.
Gloria Steinem
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
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
The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
Gloria Steinem
Transformation happens in small groups. Each person can speak and all listen.
Gloria Steinem
[On gender-rating by insurance companies:] They say the reason they get to charge more is we have children. I would say having children is a socially useful act. Being female is not a preexisting condition.
Gloria Steinem
Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!
Gloria Steinem
One act of violence takes four generations to heal.
Gloria Steinem
Logic is in the eye of the logician.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.
Gloria Steinem
This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.
