ABSTRACT

Robin Morgan is justly celebrated by liberty lovers around the world for her pioneering writing and cultural activism on behalf of women’s freedom. Her bold statements paved the way for women like me to pursue a professional and personal life free from the fetters binding my own mom, grandmother, and aunts. When I first read Sisterhood Is Powerful and Morgan’s essays as a college student in the 1980s, I took time to write an exuberant note: “the huge great picture I am exploring is like finding words to every longing, every doubt, and every need I had but couldn’t articulate. These writings have launched an expansion of mind and soul for me—I hope I can give back someday the benefits of what I am absorbing.”
