"Also, one of the simplest paths to deep change is for the less powerful to speak as much as they listen, and for the more powerful to listen as much as they speak."
"Feminism is not about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."
"Roots can exist without flowers, but no flower can exist without roots. Religion may be a flower, but people are its roots."
"On my 70th birthday I was going to get a tramp stamp."
"We are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud."
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.
