More from Gloria Steinem
"The human brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public."
"There are really not many jobs that actually require a penis or a vagina, and all other occupations should be open to everyone."
"We are still living in a patriarchal society, and we have to fight against it every day."
"Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person."
"Everytime a woman looks in a mirror and criticizes her body, a girl is watching."
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.
