More from Gloria Steinem
"Revolutions that last don't happen from the top down. They happen from the bottom up."
"We tend to forget that every revolution or social change is like a tree — it grows from the bottom up, not the top down. However small it may seem to begin, that does not matter because it will grow."
"The greatest danger for women is not to be loved, but to be loved too much."
"I began to understand with a terrible sureness that we teach what we need to learn and write what we need to know."
"Women have two choices: either she's a feminist or a masochist."
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.
