More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.
Gloria Steinem
We are literally linked in a circle, including with nature, as well as with other human beings. Old societies didn't have and still don't have he and she. They don't have gendered pronouns. They don't have a word for nature, because we're not separate from nature.
Gloria Steinem
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
There's no emotion more revolutionary than empathy.
Gloria Steinem
We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.
Gloria Steinem
I spend a lot of time on college campuses, and I don't quite understand where the idea comes from that young women are not moving forward. In fact, statistically, if you look at the public opinion polls, young women are much more supportive of feminism and feminist issues than older women are.
Gloria Steinem
If you let Barnum & Bailey interpret a plot by Stendahl, it might come out to be something like the 1972 Democratic convention.
Gloria Steinem
It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.
Gloria Steinem
we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud
Gloria Steinem
Looking at traditional marriages, it seems the surest way for a woman to be alone is to get married.
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
I feel that the people I see in the media are sometimes more real than I am, which is utter bullshit.
Gloria Steinem
when pain has been intertwined with love and closeness, it's very difficult to believe that love and closeness can be experienced without pain.
Gloria Steinem
You can't be what you can't see, so it's harder for women to say, I'm going to be a [presidential] candidate, so we need to go to women who would be good candidates and say, You would be a good candidate and I'll help you. It's not a passive question, it's not when will it happen, but an active question, when will we make it happen?
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.
Gloria Steinem
At my age, in this still hierarchical time, people often ask me if I’m “passing the torch.” I explain that I’m keeping my torch, thank you very much-and I’m using it to light the torches of others.
Gloria Steinem
It feels as if childhood sexual abuse or domestic abuse of women in the home has increased but actually if you ask women of 60 or 70 years old, the incidence is about the same. We just didn't know it.
Gloria Steinem
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
Gloria Steinem
Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences.
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
