"The surest way to be a feminist is to be a woman and to refuse to be silenced."
"We are becoming the men we wanted to marry."
"America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people."
"The surest way to lose yourself is to try to please everyone."
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.
