It's never to late for a happy childhood.
Gloria Steinem
Image
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Feminism isn't called the longest revolution for nothing.
Gloria Steinem
Image
There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we're arranged in a hierarchy, that we're ranked rather than linked.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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
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
Image
Racism is not real, it's made up, it's cruel, it can be stopped.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.

Gloria Steinem
Image
A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I would put all the efforts to humanize the masculine and feminine gender roles that are the beginning of a false human hierarchy and normalize race, class and other systems of domination to come.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The most impersonal seeming audiences eventually just say such intimate, smart, wise, amazing, totally surprising, funny things. It's empowering, in the sense of feeling like you're a part of something really important.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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.
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
If what's inside your dreams wasn't already real inside you, you couldn't even dream it.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Women with body image or eating disorders are not a special category [they’re] just more extreme in their response to a culture that emphasizes thinness and impossible standards of appearance for women instead of individuality and health.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.
