More From Gloria Steinem
- "For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable."
- "If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn’t it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?"
- "Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one."

- "If you have one good series, you know, it’s a blessing. Two good series is unusual.
