It's never to late for a happy childhood.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Women with body image or eating disorders are not a special category [they’re] just more extreme in their response to a culture that emphasizes thinness and impossible standards of appearance for women instead of individuality and health.
Gloria Steinem

When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was, and that my real parents were going to come get me. I was just too different from the rest of the family, so I lived in books and in my imagination.

Pornography is about dominance. Erotica is about mutuality.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.

Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.

For the reader who has put away comic books, but isn't yet ready for editorials in the Daily News.

You can't do it all. No one can have two full-time jobs, have perfect children and cook three meals and be multi-orgasmic 'til dawn ... Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.

Life after 50 or 60 is itself another country, as different as adolescence is from childhood, or as adulthood is from adolescence - and just as adventurous.

We have to imagine change before we can begin to move toward it.

For me, writing is the only thing that passes the three tests of metier: (1) when I'm doing it, I don't feel that I should be doing something else instead: (2) it produces a sense of accomplishment and, nce in a while, pride and (3) it's frightening.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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.

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.

I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.

If you're raised in a house where it's okay for one group to eat and another to cook, or for one group to get more education money than the other or to be more free than the other, or where one parent gives in to the will of the other or may be verbally or even physically abused by the other. This gives you an idea of human worth.

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem
Image
When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.
Gloria Steinem
Image
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.

Having someone who looks like us but thinks like them is worse than having no one at all.

Women are never again going to be mindless coffee-makers or mindless policy-makers in politics.
