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
Thank you for all your good and beautiful work.
Gloria Steinem
Male silence is not the same as listening
Gloria Steinem
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.
Gloria Steinem
It's going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it's going to take a while to get out.
Gloria Steinem
Anybody who has ever met a baby knows there is already a person in there.
Gloria Steinem
It's hard to measure success when we're dealing with between 500 and 5,000 years of patriarchy depending on which continent we sit, so I would say feminism has been successful and we have a huge distance to go, huge.
Gloria Steinem
I will no longer be referred to as Miss Steinem of Ms. magazine.
Gloria Steinem
We all know as we travel around this country or around the world that there are huge problems, and also people doing amazing things on the ground - but those people rarely get reported. Our media are so into conflict that they sometimes say to me, Bring an 'anti' with you.
Gloria Steinem
This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.
Gloria Steinem
When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.
Gloria Steinem
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.
Gloria Steinem
For the reader who has put away comic books, but isn't yet ready for editorials in the Daily News.
Gloria Steinem
Marriage works best for men than women. The two happiest groups are married men and unmarried women.
Gloria Steinem
The dogma is that that dogma is a mistake.
Gloria Steinem
There's more variation among human groups than between human groups.
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
Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.
Gloria Steinem
Worry less about solutions from the top or the idea that there is a solution, but try to do whatever you can and instill in each action the values that you want to result.
Gloria Steinem
If you love your work, I'm not sure you have hobbies. I try to say no to things that other people could do and only say yes to things that only I could do.
Gloria Steinem
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
