Steinem

Famous quotes containing the word steinem:

    Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That’s their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    ... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
