“Women are not more moral than men. We are only uncorrupted by power. But we do not want to imitate men, to join this country as it is, and I think our very participation will change it. Perhaps women elected leaders—and there will be many of them—will not be so likely to dominate black people or yellow or men; anybody who looks different from us.”

in the early 70s, women couldn’t  appear in the society, they can only stay at home and take care anything at home without any rights or power. in that society, people thought that women were inclined to take care of home, kids and husband. they didnt have the ability to get into that complex and high-level society, they only wanted women were totally disconnected with outside world. in their mind, men is the one who needed to be in charge in everything.

as Gloria Steinem said above,  women are not more moral than meb, but only uncorrupted by power. what she meant is that she thought women and men are totally equal on morality, but the difference between them is that power can change a man easily, but women dont. she as a writer and editor in america at this moment, but she still had to face the legal and social discrimination because of her gender from the work to the living place. she thought one day their participation will change this situation that people will change their mind to women, just like they changed mind to black people ro anyone else. even though the society didnt really want these kinds of women to appear, women still need to step up and protest for their rights and position. and this is the time for women  to show the power to the society to prove that women can play an important role as much as men can.
