More from Gloria Steinem

"In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage."
"When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses."
"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."
"Democracy begins with owning our bodies. By that measure, women have rarely lived in a democracy."
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.
