We Can Do Hard Things
Gloria Steinem: Laughing Our Way to Liberation (Best Of)

And our schools should be doing it, too. You know, our civics courses, our American history courses. Why did we fight a civil war over the vote and equal citizenship? Why did people die for it?

Because we're social animals. There's a reason why solitary confinement is the worst punishment everywhere in the world. So we need each other and we need to create a supportive place where women can vote for themselves.

It's kind of a parable. And it happened to me when I was in college and taking geology, which I thought was the easiest of the science requirements. So we were on a field trip along the Connecticut River. And while the professor was telling us about the meander curves of the Connecticut River or something, I had wandered up a little dirt road to the embankment of an asphalt road.

And there was a turtle there in the soft dirt that was the embankment. And I thought, oh, look at that poor turtle. It's crawled all the way up here from the river and, you know, And how sad. It was a big snapping turtle. So I pushed and pulled and tugged and got this turtle back down to put in the river.

And just as I swam away in the river, the professor came up behind me and said, you know, that turtle has probably spent at least a month crawling up that road in order to lay its eggs in the mud of the embankment. And I felt terrible, of course. And that became a source of a, I think, still very valid political rule, which is always ask the turtle. Don't act on behalf of other people.
