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 568 quotes

I wasn't even in a newspaper ...

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.

The Internet is an almost mir...

The Internet is an almost miraculous way of getting information, of finding and organizing with each other, both minutely and globally. A million times better than the phone and the mimeograph! Also much better than TV, which is one-way and passive.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

In almost any situation, if y...

In almost any situation, if you have been the powerful one, which would tend to be men more than women but not always, it's very important to listen as much as you talk. If you have been the less powerful one, it's very important to talk as much as you listen.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I think we all have the power...

I think we all have the power to name ourselves. I try to call people what it is they wish to be called. But we can take the sting out of epithets and bad words by using them.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The gender prism is just desc...

The gender prism is just descending upon us. For instance, when we're girls of nine or 10 we may be climbing trees and saying, "I know what I want. I know what I think." And then suddenly at 11 or 12, the gender role takes hold, and adults tell us, "How clever of you to know what time it is." It happens to boys, too and even sooner - between five and eight. Before that, boys cry and express uncertainty.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

One of the main problems of o...

One of the main problems of our time is that men are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called feminine, and women are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called masculine.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Little girls do not wake up i...

Little girls do not wake up in the morning and say "I dream of being a prostitute." It is a terrible, terrible life. Body invasion is more traumatic than even getting beaten up. In certain circumstances, obviously, it may be a way to survive.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Our own lives feel so disorde...

Our own lives feel so disordered and confusing, so it's amazing to me that the filmmakers caught the personal, emotional high points and low points of my life and not just the public aspects.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Human beings are communal beings and we can't exist or prosper by ourselves. We need each other's support.

Democracy is mob rule with income taxes.

the new women in politics seem to be saying that we already know how to lose, thank you very much. Now we want to learn how to win.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I think I've wasted some of my time, but used most of it well, and have realized that my life is not separate from other people's lives or from the universe. I think our moments of happiness really come from a feeling of unity.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

It's endlessly interesting to be organizing and hearing possible solutions or thinking of possible solutions and how to put efforts together. It makes everything else boring, actually.

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.

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

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.

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

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