More quotes by Gloria Steinem
If [George] Zimmerman had been arrested for domestic violence, Trayvon Martin might still be alive.
Gloria Steinem
There were never that many women stand-up comics in the past because the power to make people laugh is also a power that gets people upset.
Gloria Steinem
How ever sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, religion or all four.
Gloria Steinem
Our own lives feel so disordered and confusing, so it's amazing to me that the filmmakers caught the personal, emotional high points and low points of my life and not just the public aspects.
Gloria Steinem
To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.

Gloria Steinem
We have to know before we can act.
Gloria Steinem
I continued for too long to do things that I already knew how to do, or to write stories that I was assigned instead of fighting for stories that I couldn't get, or doing ones that I thought were important on my own. The wasting of time is the thing I worry about the most. Because time is all there is.
Gloria Steinem
when pain has been intertwined with love and closeness, it's very difficult to believe that love and closeness can be experienced without pain.
Gloria Steinem
Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
Gloria Steinem
The ends and means are a seamless web.
Gloria Steinem
The need to treat ourselves as well as we treat others. It's women's version of the Golden Rule.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.
Gloria Steinem
If we have reproductive freedom, that is the ability to decide for ourselves when and whether to have children and what happens to our bodies, sexism can be reversed. It's the understanding that it's not inevitable. I think that is crucial.
Gloria Steinem
She is a water bug on the surface of life.
