A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.
Gloria Steinem

I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.

As a profession, freelance writing is notoriously insecure. That's the first argument in its favor. For many reasons, a few of them rational, the thought of knowing exactly what next year's accomplishments, routine, income, and vacation will be - or even what time I have to get up tomorrow morning - has always depressed me.

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.

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.

Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The idea that women don't smell fine on our own is a problem.

The premise of most media is that only conflict is newsworthy. And that's just not true. I think for a lot of men, too - certainly for most women - there's enough real conflict without manufacturing it. The media formula is always to have a pro and con, to say there are two sides to any issue, when in fact there may be ten sides.

When gender comes down upon us, male or female, it comes as a restriction.
Gloria Steinem
Image
What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?
Gloria Steinem

Everyone is unique and each experience is different.

Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I think it's important to see the parallels, and to understand that our masculine and feminine roles are relatively new in human history. Both gender and race are inventions that go deep because we have been raised with them, but they are still inventions.

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.
