Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem
Girls are taught to view their bodies as unending projects to work on, whereas boys from a young age, are taught to view their bodies as tools to master their environment
Gloria Steinem

Gloria Steinem
A good friendship is a conversation that never ends.
Gloria Steinem
