The young women seem to think...

The young women seem to think that they can only go out with or marry a man who is superior to them. The problem there is that they are wanting to be defeated, as opposed to finding a partner.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

This idea of doing it all is ...

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 568 quotes

There are many more women who...

There are many more women who identify as unique people as well as mothers, or instead of as mothers, than there used to be and, hopefully, there are more men who identify as fathers.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I think we spend a lot of tim...

I think we spend a lot of time denying our mothers. We understand other women earlier than we understand our mothers because we're trying so hard to say, "I'm not going to be like my mother" that we blame her for her condition. If we didn't blame her for her condition, we would have to admit that it could happen to us, too. I spent a long time doing that, thinking that my mother's problems were uniquely her fault.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

anything being perceived as b...

anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn't, that's judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses.

Why are women raped far away ...

Why are women raped far away (say, Bosnia) called victims, while those raped nearby (say, a local campus) are playing victim politics?

The highest use of the Web is getting the information and identifying the places and the possibility of being together physically.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The problem is that America i...

The problem is that America is still so racist - I guess it's hard to find another word for it ­ - that they still, the press in general and many people, perceive only white women as feminists. They think black women are black.

We will live to see the day that St. Patrick's Cathedral is a child-care center and the pope is no longer a disgrace to the skirt that he has on.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

We have to learn to stand up ...

We have to learn to stand up for our interests. To seek purity is self-defeating and a stereotype in itself: women have to be pure, women are not concerned about money.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I'm still the same person who...

I'm still the same person who grew up mostly in a Midwestern, factory-working neighborhood where talk about "self-esteem" would have seemed like a luxury.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I always trust the microcosm ...

I always trust the microcosm over the macrocosm.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Labeling makes the invisible ...

Labeling makes the invisible visible, but it's limiting. Categories are the enemy of connecting. Link, don't rank.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I no longer believe the conse...

I no longer believe the conservative message that children are naturally selfish and destructive creatures who need civilizing by hierarchies or painful controls. On the contrary, I believe that hierarchy and painful controls create destructive people. And I no longer believe the liberal message that children are blank slates on which society can write anything. On the contrary, I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.

Anybody who has ever met a baby knows there is already a person in there.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I can't tell the difference between my work life and my private life - it's all the same to me.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I think of the future in two ...

I think of the future in two ways - survival plus moving forward. Under survival, I would put all the efforts to save the female half of the world from violence directed at us specifically because we are female.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

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

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Anyone who has ever experienced dehumanized life on welfare or any other confidence-shaking dependency knows that a paid job may be preferable to the dole, even when the handout is coming from a family member.
