More from Gloria Steinem
"We are still living in a patriarchal society, and we have to fight against it every day."
"The less we talk about it, the more it eats at us."
"We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned."
"We've been socialized to believe that we're not worthy of love unless we're performing, producing, and pleasing."
"If women are supposed to be the inferior sex, why do men try so hard to keep them down?"
About Gloria Steinem (born 1934)
American second-wave feminist organizer, journalist, and Ms. magazine co-founder who shaped 1970s feminist politics. Closely associated with Betty Friedan (The Feminine Mystique author) and Bella Abzug (feminist Congresswoman). For an intellectual contrast, see Phyllis Schlafly, conservative activist and Eagle Forum founder — Schlafly's grassroots STOP-ERA campaign defeated the Equal Rights Amendment Steinem championed — they were the public faces of the 1970s gender debate from opposite sides.
