When men realize that feminism is a universal good that affects them in very intimate ways then I think they really become allies and leaders.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it's just like life. And therefore it's not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn't work.
Gloria Steinem

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

Gloria Steinem
Image
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.

I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.

There's more variation among human groups than between human groups.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.
Gloria Steinem
Image
... anything a powerful group has is perceived as good, no matter what it is, and anything a less powerful group has is not so good, no matter how intrinsically great it might be.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Human beings are communal beings and we can't exist or prosper by ourselves. We need each other's support.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The young women seem to think that they can only go out with or marry a man who is superior to them. The problem there is that they are wanting to be defeated, as opposed to finding a partner.
Gloria Steinem
Image
When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.

Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

Liberation does not come from outside.
