Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.
Gloria Steinem
Image
A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
Gloria Steinem
Image
It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We have to learn to stand up for our interests. To seek purity is self-defeating and a stereotype in itself: women have to be pure, women are not concerned about money.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Most women are one man away from welfare.
Gloria Steinem
Image
A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.

Image
We will live to see the day that St. Patrick's Cathedral is a child-care center and the pope is no longer a disgrace to the skirt that he has on.

Image
I've finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.

Image
In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.
Gloria Steinem
Image
What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?
Gloria Steinem
Image
Now we know that women can do what men can do..., but we don't know that men can do what women can do.
Gloria Steinem
Image
There's no greater gift than thinking that you had some impact on the world, for the better.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I think it's important to see the parallels, and to understand that our masculine and feminine roles are relatively new in human history. Both gender and race are inventions that go deep because we have been raised with them, but they are still inventions.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Feminism isn't whatever you want it to be.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Elephants are so wise and so funny and so endangered and so intelligent. I just think there is a lot to learn from them.
Gloria Steinem
Image
There's going to be a demand for perfectionism on the part of Hillary Clinton, or any other pro-equality woman candidate, that would not be made of men. There are going to be attacks based on different standards of morality and different standards of dress and physical attractiveness.

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?
