Gloria Steinem Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

The need to treat ourselves as well as we treat others. It’s women’s version of the Golden Rule Picture Quote #1

Too much of our lives corresponds to the ‘lost-wallet’ theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started Picture Quote #1

... the Golden Rule works for men as written, but for women it should go the other way around. We need to do unto ourselves as we do unto others Picture Quote #1

We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature Picture Quote #1

Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it’s just like life. And therefore it’s not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

I think laughter is crucial. Some of the original cultures, like the Dalit and the Native American, don’t separate laughter and seriousness Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

... patriarchy creates megapatterns that affect us all--even as we forge different individual choices within them--just as do themegapatterns of nationalism or racism Picture Quote #1

... the art of politics is to be ahead of your time--about six months will do it. Any more than that, and people forget you were there Picture Quote #1

I was rescued by librarians. It was librarians who said ‘maybe you would like to read The Hardy Boys as well as Nancy Drew.’ It is true for me, as for so many countless others, that librarians saved my life, my internal life Picture Quote #1

It’s going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it’s going to take a while to get out Picture Quote #1

There’s been the same kind of demonizing of the word ‘feminism’ as words like ‘liberal,’ ‘affirmative action,’ and so on Picture Quote #1

The error that we tend to make is that we think that women’s magazines are what editors want and what their readers want - and thus are social indicators - when, in fact, they are what advertisers want. They’re just advertising indicators Picture Quote #1

I looked up affirmative action once in Wikipedia, and it said, ‘A measure by which white men are discriminated against,’ and I got so mad Picture Quote #1

Perhaps McCain has opposed affirmative action for so long that he doesn’t know it’s about inviting more people to meet standards, not lowering them Picture Quote #1

The Republican Party supported the Equal Rights Amendment before the Democratic Party did. But what happened was that a lot of very right-wing Democrats, after the civil rights bill of 1964, left the Democratic Party and gradually have taken over the Republican Party Picture Quote #1

The same way that racism is a white person’s problem, violence against women is a men’s problem Picture Quote #1

Everything about aging in my experience so far has been a plus. Except the death part! Picture Quote #1

All biographers, no matter how sympathetic, end up using their subjects as mirrors to figure themselves out. I don’t want to be anyone’s mirror Picture Quote #1

The Native American cultures on this continent, most of them, were matrilineal, and some women were the chiefs. Societies were about balance Picture Quote #1

Anger is energising. The opposite of anger is depression, which is anger turned inward Picture Quote #1

Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they’re disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment Picture Quote #1

To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We’re responsible for changing it, yes. But we can’t actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are Picture Quote #1

The state of female artists is very good. But the very definition of art has been biased in that ‘art’ was what men did in a European tradition and ‘crafts’ were what women and natives did. But it’s actually all the same Picture Quote #1

Mama grizzlies mate later than other bears. They have two cubs instead of four. They wait four years - about twice as long as other bears - between having cubs. And after they’re pregnant, if winter is hard or their health is not good or the food supply is uncertain, they re-absorb the embryo into their body Picture Quote #1

Men may feel just disempowered by intimacy, by being close to a woman, and also by feeling the tender feelings that they’re ashamed of Picture Quote #1

We need to stop raising boys to think that they need to prove their masculinity by being controlling or by not showing emotion or by not being little girls Picture Quote #1

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home Picture Quote #1

The art of being helpful is behaving as if everything we do matters - because we never know which things might Picture Quote #1
