More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Reporters immediately push their interviewees into the most extreme version by saying in a shocked tone, 'Well, are you saying that ... They're trying to make people be as hostile and opposed to each other as possible because they think only conflict is news.
Gloria Steinem
We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature.
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
Transformation happens in small groups. Each person can speak and all listen.
Gloria Steinem
A lot of my generation are living out the un-lived lives of our mothers.
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
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
A good friendship is a conversation that never ends.
Gloria Steinem
I do not like to write - I like to have written.
Gloria Steinem
There are many more women who identify as unique people as well as mothers, or instead of as mothers, than there used to be and, hopefully, there are more men who identify as fathers.
Gloria Steinem
I would put all the efforts to humanize the masculine and feminine gender roles that are the beginning of a false human hierarchy and normalize race, class and other systems of domination to come.
Gloria Steinem
Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.
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
The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
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
What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?
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
Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in.
Gloria Steinem
Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.
Gloria Steinem
I would say that each of us has only one thing to gain from the feminist movement: Our whole humanity. Because gender has wrongly told us that some things are masculine and some things are feminine... which is bullshit.
