By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.

When men realize that feminism is a universal good that affects them in very intimate ways then I think they really become allies and leaders.

This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.

Self-hatred leads to the need either to dominate or to be dominated.

It's obviously a great sign of growth and success that the media no longer try to embody the bigness and diversity of the women's movement in one person. Only a diverse group can symbolize a movement.

If you can learn to like how you look, and not the way you think you look, it can set you free.

I spend a lot of time on college campuses, and I don't quite understand where the idea comes from that young women are not moving forward. In fact, statistically, if you look at the public opinion polls, young women are much more supportive of feminism and feminist issues than older women are.
