More from Gloria Steinem
"There are two kinds of people: those who say, 'I'll believe it when I see it,' and those who say, 'To see it, I must believe it.'"
"The purpose of feminism is to free men."
"You can hardly open a newspaper without seeing that a woman has been killed by a man for clearly gender-related reasons."
"So whatever you want to do, just do it… Making a damn fool of yourself is absolutely essential."
"The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own lives."
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.
