Robin Morgan, a prolific feminist writer and radical activist who edited the landmark 1970 anthology “Sisterhood Is Powerful,” served as editor in chief of Ms. magazine for five years and helped organize one of the first protests of the Miss America pageant, died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 85.
The death, in a hospital, was confirmed by her son, the musician Blake Morgan, who is her sole survivor.
From the front lines of a much-splintered feminist movement, Ms. Morgan gave voice to women as a poet, journalist, novelist, memoirist, agitator and iconoclast. She came of age in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements, but along with other young women of the new left, she found those movements dominated by men, and, in particular, men who wanted to keep women as second-class citizens.

The feminists are dropping like flies.
She lived to see her handiwork displayed by Lindsay Clancey’s female jury members and street supporters. Now they are sending her money. What did P.T. Barnum say? There’s a sucker born every minute.
another one bites the dust!
good riddance ...
Yes ... let us never forget that embracing demonic ideologies, no matter how seemingly attractive, comes at too high a price.
Did her decrepid mom finally get around to murdering her?
>>“A trifecta if Fonda croaks soon.”
She’s on my ‘p*ss on her grave’ list right before ‘She Who Shall Not be Named.’<<
LOL! And I have to agree with you!
Robin Morgan had a husband and sons.
Wonder what they thought of her active feminism.
Are they still males today?

LOL! And I have to agree with you!”
I’ve recently learned that they (scientists)
say that there are stem cells in pee. Not many but.
Please don’t be pee on “she who shall not be named” grave.
We don’t want to take any chances.
Please throw up instead. ha ha
Same here. Steinem yes and a few other harpies but not this one. Granted the world of left wing radical feminism isn’t one a lot of us here probe too deeply.
Of the dead, say nothing but good.
”OK. She’s dead. Good.”
We gotta get that on a tee shirt.
How easy it is to make pronouncements like this when there is no chance you'll ever be tested.
Kinda related to the quote of Reagan that those for abortion have already been born and so have nothing to fear, or something like that.
Morgan worked from toddlerhood as a model, radio host, and television actor in the 1940s and 1950s (such as on the series Mama)l
In her memoir Saturday’s Child, she referenced the old saying that a Saturday’s child has to work for a living, emphasizing that she earned her own way through decades of writing and editing.
While the royalties from her landmark 1970 anthology Sisterhood Is Powerful were substantial enough to allow her to fund the Sisterhood Is Powerful Fund (the first feminist grant-giving foundation in the U.S.), the money was turned over as seed capital to support early women’s liberation groups rather than retained for personal enrichment.
LOL! Probably a better strategy. If anyone can regenerate herself from pee, it would be her! *SPIT*
Yep - First Gloria, now Robin - who’s next? There’s so many out there that the “rule of 3” isn’t enough.
