The electoral system is not where change starts - it usually starts in communities and from the bottom up - but it is where change can be stopped.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.

In my own mind, I am still a fat brunette from Toledo, and I always will be.

You know there is a person inside every baby, right? And anybody who has ever met a baby knows there is already a person in there.

If women have young children, they are one man away from welfare.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

If you hear a statistic, you ...

If you hear a statistic, you will make up a story to go with it, because our brains are organized on narrative. And you may very well make up a wrong story because you only have one fact, which is a statistic.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The deepest change begins wit...

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible.

To say 'radical feminist' is only a way of indicating that I believe the sexual caste system is a root of race and class and other divisions.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Part of the reason that women...

Part of the reason that women go to college is to get out of the food service, clerical, pink-collar ghetto and into a more white-collar job. That does not necessarily mean they are being paid more than the blue-collar jobs men have.

People start to talk about post-racist, post-feminist. What does that mean? We're clearly not post either. Would you say post-democracy? Clearly we haven't reached true democracy yet.

I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Actually, I believe there are more independents than either Republicans or Democrats, and yet those are the... that is the choice we have on the party ballot.

Unless we include a job as part of every citizen's right to autonomy and personal fulfillment, women will continue to be vulnerable to someone else's idea of what need is.

There are six million female lives lost in the world every year simply because they are female.

There's a big gap between public opinion polls and the vote in Washington, in Congress.

The AIDS crisis has brought us a consciousness of the immune system as the most important health-maintenance element, and a consciousness of how it is under attack.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Rich cultures, patriarchal cultures, value thin women, like ours; poor ones value fat women. But all patriarchal cultures value weak women. So for women to become physically strong is very profound.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

What I've learned is that unless it's an emergency, like a fire or brain surgery, hierarchy is not necessary and may be damaging. If you have a hierarchy, you're repeating the strengths and weaknesses of one person without allowing for the accumulative strength of a group.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

When I'm talking to groups th...

When I'm talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Obviously there is no such thing as race, and in many ways, sex is a continuum, not a binary. So it doesn't make sense to label people in that way.
