About This Quote

The feminist movement is mainly about reaching out to everyone, not just the educated few. Women must be part of the public sphere to make this world a better place for everyone. This quote comes from the words of Gloria Steinem, who created the Women’s Media Center in 1998 to show that women were an integral part of the world’s media. The media was failing to represent women in any way, and it was time for the media to step up and give women their own voice.
