The speech is mostly remembered for the following quotation: This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race, because they are easy, visible differences, have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups, and into the cheap labor on which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen, or those earned. We are really talking about humanism. In Jennifer Lopez's 2016 music video for her song "Ain't Your Mama", Steinem can be heard saying part of this speech, specifically, "This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution." (en)

En el discurso no sólo se refirió al sexismo y la misoginia, sino también al racismo y la clase social. El discurso es especialmente recordado por esta frase: Esto es no simple reforma. Es realmente una revolución. Sexo y raza, porque son diferencias fácilmente visibles, han sido las maneras primarias de organizar a los seres humanos en grupos superiores e inferiores y en la mano de obra barata de la que el sistema todavía depende. Estamos hablando de una sociedad en la que no habrá otros roles que los que sean elegidos o los ganados. Estamos realmente hablando de humanismo.​ En el video de 2016 de Jennifer Lopez de la canción "Ain't Your Mama" (No soy tu madre) puede escucharse un trozo de la intervención de Steinem diciendo "Esto es no reforma sencilla. Realmente es una revolución."​ (es)
