you never know which thing you do is going to turn out to be important. I'm sure we've all done very small things that had very great impact and very big things that didn't make any difference. So, create the means that best reflect the ends we want. Try to make each moment authentic, and you'll get to an authentic end.

I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.

When you say something in a wrong group - it will never be right, so you can not say anything wrong, when you don't belong to a group.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.

The ends and means are a seamless web.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

We do what we see and what we...

We do what we see and what we're told. If we haven't been raised in a family or in a community where women are treated as full human beings and men don't have to be superior anymore, we continue to think that it's not only natural but inevitable.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I'm more often confronted by ...

I'm more often confronted by women who come from religious traditions and don't feel that they have a place in the feminist movement. I've felt pressure when reporters asked me, "Do you believe in God?" I do say, "No. I believe in people."

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

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

We need to take violence against women seriously. It is the biggest indicator of whether a country is violent inside itself, and whether it will be militarily violent against another country.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Violence against women is cle...

Violence against women is clearly not solved, not at all solved, and the reasons for it, which are controlling women's bodies in order to control reproduction, are definitely not solved.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

For women, all women, whateve...

For women, all women, whatever our sexuality, it's crucial to our health that we are able to separate sexuality from reproduction. I mean whether or not we can control when we give birth is the biggest element in our health, our education, our economic welfare, our life expectancy, everything.

My father was the Jewish half of the family, yet it was my mother who taught me to have pride in that tradition.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

A movement happens when people are inspired by somebody, but they do it themselves. You don't wait for someone else. You do it yourself.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

For me, writing is the only thing that passes the three tests of metier: (1) when I'm doing it, I don't feel that I should be doing something else instead: (2) it produces a sense of accomplishment and, nce in a while, pride; and (3) it's frightening.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

You're afraid to be close to ...

You're afraid to be close to women. Because it's not masculine to be close to women. The last time you were close to a woman, you were a child.

There is no such thing as Superwoman. You cant have everything if you do everything.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

I think my role is as a write...

I think my role is as a writer, especially, and then also as a speaker, an organizer, and an entre- preneur of social change. My role isn't to make choices for people-each individual or group needs to do that on their own. But as a writer and a speaker, you can describe possibilities that perhaps haven't been visible before, and aren't in other public dialogues or in the rest of the media. So I suppose I think of myself mainly as an organizer and as someone who describes possibilities.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

You can't be what you can't s...

You can't be what you can't see, so it's harder for women to say, "I'm going to be a [presidential] candidate," so we need to go to women who would be good candidates and say, "You would be a good candidate and I'll help you." It's not a passive question, it's not when will it happen, but an active question, when will we make it happen?

I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.
