More quotes by Gloria Steinem
The point of the journey is not just healing. It's also recovering the truest, most spontaneous, joyful, and creative core of ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
I would say don't worry about what you should do, do whatever you can. And seek companions with shared values.
Gloria Steinem
The most common characteristic of women's history is to be lost and discovered, lost again and rediscovered, lost once more and re-rediscovered - a process of tragic waste and terrible silences that will continue until women's stories are a full and equal part of the human story.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't even in a newspaper office where I was getting assignments in competition with other people. I remember earlier, though, that I knew a young woman who had been published in the New Yorker, and I was so jealous of her. It wasn't exactly a personal competition. I just envied that accomplishment.
Gloria Steinem
Progress is not automatic, it depends on what we do every day. So any statement of ownership of our own bodies, however that occurs in our individual lives or our community or our collective lives, is crucial.
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
Our children are the only people on whom we can safely take revenge for what was done to us.
Gloria Steinem
For a man to say, I have to leave work now because I need to do something with my kids, it's sometimes viewed as a career killer. He doesn't have the right drive. So when they depart from their gender roles, they face some of the same restrictions.
Gloria Steinem
Having someone who looks like us but thinks like them is worse than having no one at all.
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
It's a fundamental human right to decide to have children or not to have children.
Gloria Steinem
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
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
We have to know before we can act.
Gloria Steinem
Feminism is not antisexuality. On the contrary. It says that sexuality shouldn't be confused with violence and dominance and that it should be a matter of free choice. It shouldn't be forced on you by economics, including dependence on a husband, or by pressure.
Gloria Steinem
it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.
Gloria Steinem
I think that there is clearly an understanding that the women's market is an important market. It's still often perceived as separate when it's not.
Gloria Steinem
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
Gloria Steinem
I hate when people say, Have fun at the press preview. Fun is talking to you.
Gloria Steinem
When you say something in a wrong group - it will never be right, so you can not say anything wrong, when you don't belong to a group.
Gloria Steinem
