Gloria Steinem

I haven't been in a job situation in which I was competing with other women. As a writer, you're more likely to be treated as an individual.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Human beings are communal beings and we can't exist or prosper by ourselves. We need each other's support.
Gloria Steinem
Image
When you attempt something new, there's always fear. A couple of helpful slogans to me are follow the fear or fear is a sign of growth.

The same big TV antenna dwarfed each roof, as though life here could only be bearable if lived elsewhere in the imagination.
Gloria Steinem

By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.
Gloria Steinem

Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it's just like life. And therefore it's not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn't work.
