In the late '60s, people were saying we need power to, not power over. Power to do, accomplish, create, not power over other people.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
You are the leader you've been waiting for.
Gloria Steinem
I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.
Gloria Steinem
No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.
Gloria Steinem
One of the things I understood from early on was that art was a symbol of systemic inequity.
Gloria Steinem
Human beings are communal beings and we can't exist or prosper by ourselves. We need each other's support.
Gloria Steinem
I don't like writing. I like having written.
Gloria Steinem
Men tend to gain wholeness by acquiring the qualities that are wrongly called feminine.
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
Whatever a 'superior' group has will be used to justify its superiority, and whatever an 'inferior' group has will be used to justify its plight. Black men were given poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'stronger' than white men, while all women were relegated to poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'weaker.
Gloria Steinem
When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.
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
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
Gloria Steinem
There is a naive belief that injustice only had to be pointed out in order to be cured.
Gloria Steinem
It's a big gift to be recognizable as part of something that matters to people, but that's not the same as being responsible for something.
Gloria Steinem
Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us.
Gloria Steinem
Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
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
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
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
One day an army of gray-haired women may quietly take over the Earth!
Gloria Steinem
