Gloria Steinem Quotes

Because we are communal creatures, if you’re with people who think you’re smart, you’re smart, and if they think you’re dumb, you’re dumb Picture Quote #1

Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women’s economic freedom Picture Quote #1

There are many ways of supporting gender equality, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all care-giving, and making that amount tax deductible Picture Quote #1

I think if women are visible in the media, truly visible, in an empowered role, it empowers us to be more visible in any area of our lives Picture Quote #1

One’s enemies are always talking about ‘post-feminism.’ It is a word invented by people who would like to do away with feminism Picture Quote #1

The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s any country that has equal pay, not even Sweden or Iceland Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying that women leaders would eliminate violence. We are not more moral than men; we are only uncorrupted by power so far. When we do acquire power, we might turn out to have an equal impulse toward aggression Picture Quote #1

A gender-equal society would be one where the word ‘gender’ does not exist: where everyone can be themselves Picture Quote #1

Women don’t want to exchange places with men. Male chauvinists, science-fiction writers and comedians may favor that idea for its shock value, but psychologists say it is a fantasy based on ruling-class ego and guilt Picture Quote #1

If you are not a feminist in love, you fail to recognise someone who does not love you. Feminism makes love easier. Otherwise, there is the danger of feeling romantically drawn to someone who does not see you as an equal Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There’s one logical generational difference and that is that young women will have more chances to support a female president than older women. Older women feel it’s their last chance, so that’s just a factual, obvious difference. But other than that it depends on experience, on individual experience Picture Quote #1

We are still behaving as if a worker really doesn’t have a family because the work pattern really was meant for men who really were the financial support but weren’t looking after their families. We need to change this, and we can easily do that Picture Quote #1

It turns out that we literally don’t empathize unless we’re physically present - that the oxytocin, the famous tend and befriend hormone is not produced unless we’re present with all five senses Picture Quote #1

The thing about aging is all your old lovers, pretty much if they were really friends, become your family. It’s great. You have those terrible feelings of possessiveness and uncertainty go out the window. You have what you shared. You know you would help each other in times of trouble no matter what Picture Quote #1

Burnout is a way of telling you that your form of activism was perhaps not very full circle Picture Quote #1

They’re all qualities wrongly called feminine: attention to detail, patience, empathy. I don’t have children, but I was raised as a female to have those qualities because they’re perceived as feminine. Until men are raised with those qualities, too, they won’t have the full circle of human qualities Picture Quote #1

If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you’ll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this Picture Quote #1

Diane Keaton is good for women in and of herself. She’s smart and funny and real Picture Quote #1

I would put all the efforts to humanize the masculine and feminine gender roles that are the beginning of a false human hierarchy and normalize race, class and other systems of domination to come Picture Quote #1

We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What we need to be able to do is count all human experience. So I would like to count the secretarial positions as good training places to take over the jobs of the bosses Picture Quote #1

We all have good instincts unless they’re beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood Picture Quote #1

Even when educators survey grade school texts and create new bibliographies to help teachers include Asians, Eskimos, and other Americans, females in and out of those groups may be down-played or forgotten Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think we acquire habits of mind when we’re little, and I lived in the future because I was always imagining being a grown-up, when I could get out Picture Quote #1

I’m so happy that we’re finally hearing the stories and voices of women who make America. We do what we see, not what we’re told, so an incomplete story of this country damages everyone Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to have a male-dominant system, to maintain the system, you have to teach men to dominate Picture Quote #1
