Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.
Quote by -Coco Chanel
“More than a third of all the men, women, and children on this march perished from cold, starvation, and disease. Thanks to President Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act, Cherokee land was left to white farmers who used it to grow cotton with slave labor and to mine gold.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example. If they see their mothers and other women in their lives going forward despite fear, they'll know it's possible.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women." ”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“No wonder studies show that women's intellectual self-esteem tends to go down as years of education go up. We have been studying our own absence.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Her searches after knowledge were arbitrary and without context. It was as if she were shining a small flashlight of curiosity into the dark room of the world.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“I remember Spider Woman from the first page of Leslie’s novel Ceremony. She is the Thought Woman who names things and so brings them into being. Until then, I had imagined myself alone in believing that spiders should be the totem of writers. Both go into a space alone and spin out of their own bodies a reality that has never existed before.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women." ”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Women are always saying,"We can do anything that men can do." But Men should be saying,"We can do anything that women can do.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The driver, an old Irish woman, the only such cabbie I’ve ever seen, turned to us at a traffic light and said the immortal words, “Honey, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament!”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Perhaps the most revolutionary act for a woman will be a self-willed journey—and to be welcomed when she comes home.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Needing approval is a female cultural disease, and often a sign of doing the wrong thing.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“I was the only “girl writer,” probably because the power to make people laugh is also a power, so women have been kept out of comedy. Polls show that what women fear most from men is violence, and what men fear most from women is ridicule. Later, when Tina Fey was head writer and star of Saturday Night Live, she could still say, “Only in comedy does an obedient white girl from the suburbs count as diversity.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The simple right to reproductive freedom - to sexuality as an expression that is separable from reproduction - is basic to restoring women's power, the balance between women and men, and a balance between humans and nature.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look, instead of by our heads and hearts.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“she is still better known than most living movie stars, most world leaders, and most television personalities. The surprise is that she rarely has been taken seriously enough to ask why that is so.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Suddenly, it seems ridiculous that we just came from a city airport named for Columbus, a terrible navigator who insisted to his dying day that he was in India—which is why people here are called Indians. As the Native women in Houston said, “It could have been worse—he could have thought he was in Turkey.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“For sad if obvious reasons, women (especially white women who are seduced by access to the powerful) are the only discriminated-against group whose members seem to think that, if they don’t take themselves seriously, someone else will.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Statistically speaking, home is an even more dangerous place for women than the road.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Basically, I feel different from most other women. I feel I don’t have to put on an act. If I’m not feminine enough for someone, I don’t care, because femininity is different in everyone’s mind.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions, their reasons are always different.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“And perhaps, those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films, with women at the center are niche experience, they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.”
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
Women have been doing very, very strange things for centuries. I mean ancient Egyptians were already doing that, but I don't necessarily judge people who do. I don't really think it makes people look better; they just look different.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
I think often women can feel isolated and feel like they get into a rut and don't quite know how to get out of it.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“It's not just women in film, 18-year-old girls feel pressure to do preventative injecting. I see someone's face, someone's body who has had children and I think, they're the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that? I look at people sort of entombing themselves and all you see is their little pin holes of terror... and you think, just live your life, death is not going to be any easier just because your face can't move.”
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
People talk about the golden age of Hollywood because of how women were lit then. You could be Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and work well into your 50s, because you were lit and made into a goddess. Now, with everything being sort of gritty, women have this sense of their use-by date.
