More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I definitely think men can be leaders. I see an analogy in the case of what helped me think about racism, which was to find parallels with sexism. In other words, I don't think I was such a great ally until I got mad on my own behalf.
Gloria Steinem
So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?
Gloria Steinem
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
Gloria Steinem
Religion is often politics made sacred.
Gloria Steinem
I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.
Gloria Steinem
As a profession, freelance writing is notoriously insecure. That's the first argument in its favor. For many reasons, a few of them rational, the thought of knowing exactly what next year's accomplishments, routine, income, and vacation will be - or even what time I have to get up tomorrow morning - has always depressed me.
Gloria Steinem
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
We need to unlearn some of our respect for education, since it has undermined our respect for ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
I don't like writing. I like having written.
Gloria Steinem
We feel very celebratory and positive that we have created a voyage across the DMZ in peace and reconciliation that was said to be impossible.
Gloria Steinem
We all know as we travel around this country or around the world that there are huge problems, and also people doing amazing things on the ground - but those people rarely get reported. Our media are so into conflict that they sometimes say to me, Bring an 'anti' with you.
Gloria Steinem
I don't want to die saying but, you know? There's so much I want to do, so I want more time.
Gloria Steinem
If you look at the public opinion polls even, support for all the issues, people who self-identify as feminists are as least as many as those who self-identify as Republicans.
Gloria Steinem
Probably those three things affect the most people: reproductive freedom, freedom from violence, and democratic families. But there may well be someone sitting at this table who has a great idea to do something else that wouldn't come under those umbrellas and that would really be great, and make all kinds of change.
Gloria Steinem
The dogma is that that dogma is a mistake.
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
I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.
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
I was not considered beautiful before I was a feminist. I was a pretty girl before, but suddenly, after I was publicly identified as a feminist, I was beautiful. So, many people were really commenting on what they thought feminists looked like.
Gloria Steinem
It's not okay for a woman to be in control of her own body, her own reproductive system, much less of her life. There's opposition even to that. So passivity is rewarded as feminine.
Gloria Steinem
