More quotes by Gloria Steinem
It's a big gift to be recognizable as part of something that matters to people, but that's not the same as being responsible for something.
Gloria Steinem
In almost any situation, if you have been the powerful one, which would tend to be men more than women but not always, it's very important to listen as much as you talk. If you have been the less powerful one, it's very important to talk as much as you listen.
Gloria Steinem
Women have always been an equal part of the past. We just havent been a part of history.
Gloria Steinem
I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.
Gloria Steinem
I'm clearly not frightened of flying because I fly all the time, but every once in a while I do, as we all do, think, What if this plane goes down? And I think, Well, if I'm holding the hand of the person sitting next to me, then I'm holding everyone's hand.
Gloria Steinem
The idea that women don't smell fine on our own is a problem.
Gloria Steinem
I'm still the same person who grew up mostly in a Midwestern, factory-working neighborhood where talk about self-esteem would have seemed like a luxury.
Gloria Steinem
Women are always saying,We can do anything that men cando. But Men should be saying,We can do anything that women can do.
Gloria Steinem
you never know which thing you do is going to turn out to be important. I'm sure we've all done very small things that had very great impact and very big things that didn't make any difference. So, create the means that best reflect the ends we want. Try to make each moment authentic, and you'll get to an authentic end.
Gloria Steinem
For the reader who has put away comic books, but isn't yet ready for editorials in the Daily News.
Gloria Steinem
no one ever got radicalized by being grateful
Gloria Steinem
I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.
Gloria Steinem
Law and justice are not always the same.
Gloria Steinem
It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.
Gloria Steinem
The same big TV antenna dwarfed each roof, as though life here could only be bearable if lived elsewhere in the imagination.
Gloria Steinem
The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.
Gloria Steinem
If you say, I'm for equal pay, that's a reform. But if you say. I'm a feminist, that's a transformation of society.
Gloria Steinem
Economic systems are not value-free columns of numbers based on rules of reason, but ways of expressing what varying societies believe is important.
Gloria Steinem
Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.
Gloria Steinem
I always trust the microcosm over the macrocosm.
Gloria Steinem
