'''Robin Morgan''' (born January 29, 1941) is an [[United States|American]] [[poet]], author, [[political theorist]] and [[activist]], [[journalist]], [[lecturer]], and former [[child actor]]. Since the early 1960s she has been a key [[radical feminism|radical feminist]] member of the American [[Women's Movement]], and a leader in the international feminist movement. Her 1970 anthology ''[[Sisterhood Is Powerful]]'' has been widely credited with helping to start the general women's movement in the US, and was cited by the [[New York Public Library]] as "One of the 100 most influential Books of the 20th Century," along with those of [[Sigmund Freud]] and [[Karl Marx]].<ref name="nypl"/> She has written more than 20 books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and is also known as the editor of ''[[Ms. Magazine]].''<ref name="enotes"/>

During the 1960s, she participated in the [[civil rights]] and [[anti-Vietnam War]] movements; in the late 1960s she was a founding member of radical feminist organizations such as [[New York Radical Women]] and [[W.I.T.C.H. (organisation)|W.I.T.C.H.]] She founded or co-founded the Feminist Women's Health Network, the National Battered Women's Refuge Network, Media Women, the National Network of Rape Crisis Centers, the Feminist Writers' Guild, the Women's Foreign Policy Council, the [[National Museum of Women in the Arts]], the Sisterhood Is Global Institute, GlobalSister.org, and Greenstone Women's Radio Network. She also co-founded the [[Women's Media Center]] with activist [[Gloria Steinem]] and actor/activist [[Jane Fonda]].

==Early life and career==
[[File:TheRobinMorganShow.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|Morgan in studio at ''The Robin Morgan Show'' in 1946]]
Morgan was born on January 29, 1941, although the birthdate was reported inaccurately throughout her career as a child actor.  She was born in [[Lake Worth, Florida]] to unmarried Jewish parents. Her mother Faith Berkeley Morgan traveled from her New York residence to Florida to give birth.<ref name="s"/> Robin's father, a medical doctor named Mates Morganstern, refused to accompany the pregnant Faith on her trip.<ref name="s"/>

Robin Morgan grew up in [[Mount Vernon, New York]] and later on [[Sutton Place, Manhattan|Sutton Place]] in Manhattan. Her mother and her maternal aunt Sally started her as a child model when she was a toddler. At what she and others thought was the age of four (she was actually five years old),<ref name="s"/> she had her own radio program on New York station <<link:0>> titled ''Little Robin Morgan''. She was also a regular on the original network radio version of ''[[Juvenile Jury]]'' playing herself. She started her most famous acting role when she replaced another child actor in the role of Dagmar Hansen, the younger sister in the TV series ''[[Mama (television)|Mama]]'' starring [[Peggy Wood]] that premiered on CBS in 1949. Producers, sponsor [[Maxwell House]] and network officials believed Morgan's age was seven when she began work on the series, but she was actually eight.<ref name="s"/> The year was 1949 when Morgan took on the part of Dagmar.

[[File:Mama (TV series) cast.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Morgan, bottom far right, playing the youngest child Dagmar in ''[[Mama (TV series)|Mama]]'']]She did guest starring work during the "[[Golden Age of Television]]" on such live dramas as ''[[Omnibus (U.S. TV series)|Omnibus]]'', ''[[Suspense (US TV series)|Suspense]]'', ''[[Danger (TV series)|Danger]]'', ''[[Hallmark Hall of Fame]]'', ''[[Robert Montgomery Presents]]'', ''[[Tales of Tomorrow]]'', and ''[[Kraft Theatre]]'', and starred in such "spectaculars" as ''[[Kiss and Tell (1945 film)|Kiss and Tell]]'' and ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]''. She worked with directors such as [[Sidney Lumet]], [[John Frankenheimer]], [[Ralph Nelson]], writers such as [[Paddy Chayefsky]] and [[Rod Serling]], and such actors as [[Boris Karloff]], [[Rosalind Russell]], [[Bill "Bojangles" Robinson]], and [[Cliff Robertson]].<ref name="s"/>

Morgan left the cast of ''Mama'' at age 14, having wanted since age four to write rather than act. She fought her mother's efforts to keep her in show business.<ref name="toofar"/> She graduated from The Wetter School in Mount Vernon, New York, in 1956, then was privately tutored from 1956 to 1959.<ref name="biohome"/> She published her first serious poetry in literary magazines at age 17.<ref name="s"/>

==Parents==
Until Robin Morgan was 13 years old, or believed that that was her age, her mother Faith explained the absence of a man in their home by claiming Robin's father had been killed in World War II.<ref name="s"/> When Robin revealed she had overheard conversations between her mother and aunts that contradicted such a claim, Faith changed her story.<ref name="s"/> She asserted that Robin's father had escaped from one Nazi concentration camp after another and she had saved his life by sponsoring his immigration to the United States where he had no family. Robin learned in 1961 that this, too, was a lie.<ref name="s"/>

As a young woman no longer working in show business, Robin Morgan learned the surprising truth about not only her father, who was still alive, but also about how old she was.<ref name="s"/> She learned that her mother had conspired with her Florida obstetrician to "lose" the birth certificate and to testify under oath for an affidavit that the baby had been born on January 29, 1942.<ref name="s"/> In fact, the birth had taken place exactly a year earlier. Faith Morgan and her obstetrician did this in order to cover up an out-of-wedlock birth that had been ignored by the biological father, who was himself an obstetrician.<ref name="s"/>

Robin's father, Dr. Mates Morganstern, visited the infant Robin once and decided not to see her again.<ref name="s"/> He stored a certified copy of her birth certificate in his medical office in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]]. He never contacted Faith Morgan again. For Faith and her sister, who was Robin's "Aunt Sally," the postdating of Robin's birth on the affidavit came in handy, causing casting directors and producers to believe the precocious child was a year younger than she actually was.<ref name="s"/>

Dr. Morganstern became aware of Robin's fame as a child actor, believing it was none of his business. He gave the birth certificate to Robin, by then a young woman, when she visited his office in 1961.  She sought a meeting with him after discovering, without her mother's knowledge, a listing for the medical practice of Dr. Mates Morganstern in the New Brunswick telephone directory. During their 1961 conversation in his office, Dr. Morganstern told his biological daughter that his wife in New Jersey was a woman he had known since their respective childhoods in [[Austria]]. World War II had separated them. He added that he had known Robin's mother for a short while immediately after his arrival in the United States. He asserted that she had fantasized that their relationship was more important than it actually was.<ref name="s"/> Shortly after he abandoned Faith Morgan and their baby, his Austrian girlfriend arrived in the United States and they resumed the relationship they had begun in their homeland.

Robin Morgan was crushed by her father's cold attitude and his dismissal of her mother. Four years later she received a surprise when he invited her and her husband [[Kenneth Pitchford]] to have dinner with his wife and two sons.<ref name="s"/> Immediately after issuing the invitation by phone, Dr. Morganstern informed her that he did not wish his sons to know they had a half-sister or that he had fathered an illegitimate child, so she had to pretend she was the "daughter of an old friend" while dining with his family. She went through with the charade once but refused to do it a second time. Morgan never saw or communicated with her half-brothers again. Her biological father visited her Manhattan home sometime later in the 1960s. As her involvement with radical politics and feminism deepened, she lost contact with him knowing he was opposed to it all. She recalled that during her visit to his family under the pretense of being the daughter of an old friend, Dr. Morganstern had referred to [[Malcolm X]], assassinated earlier that day, as a "terrorist Negro."<ref name="s"/>

When Morgan's mother entered her early 60s, she developed [[Alzheimer's disease]].<ref name="s"/> Faith Morgan's entire life savings, consisting of a six-figure sum that had accumulated in the bank since her daughter had worked in radio and television, was stolen by her two home caregivers.<ref name="s"/> Robin Morgan discovered this too late for police to gather evidence. The two home caregivers attended Faith's funeral in 1983, walked up to Robin after the service to express condolences then disappeared.

As Morgan's mother lay dying, Morgan telephoned Dr. Mates Morganstern for the first time in many years to ask if he wished to say goodbye to her. He declined.

== Adult career ==
As she entered adulthood, Morgan continued her education as a [[matriculated|nonmatriculating student]] at [[Columbia University]]. She began working as a secretary at [[Curtis Brown (literary agents)|Curtis Brown Literary Agency]]. Famed poet [[W. H. Auden]] was among the writers she met there in the early 1960s, and around that time she also began publishing her own poetry (later collected in her 1972 first book of poems ''Monster''). Throughout the next decades, along with political activism and lecturing at colleges and universities on feminism, she continued to write and publish prose and poetry.<ref name="s"/>

[[File:RobinMorgan GrovePressArrest1970.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Morgan being arrested at [[Grove Press]], 1970]]In 1962 she married the poet [[Kenneth Pitchford]].<ref name="toofar"/>  Her son, [[Blake Morgan]], was born in 1969. She worked as an editor at [[Grove Press]] and was involved in the attempt to [[unionization|unionize]] the [[publishing industry]]; Grove summarily fired her and other union sympathizers. She led a seizure and occupation of Grove Press offices in the spring of 1970, protesting the [[union-busting]] as well as dishonest accounting of [[royalties]] to [[Betty Shabazz]], [[Malcolm X]]'s widow. She and eight other women were arrested.<ref name="s"/>

In the mid-1970s, she became a Contributing Editor to ''[[Ms. Magazine]]'', to continue there as a part- or full-time editor for the next decades, and becoming [[editor-in-chief]] from 1989 to 1994. During her time as editor-in-chief, she turned the magazine into an ad-free, bimonthly, international publication.

===Activism===
By 1962 she started to become extremely active in the [[anti-war]] Left, and contributed articles and poetry to [[Left-wing]] and [[counter-culture]] journals such as ''[[Liberation (magazine)|Liberation]]'', ''[[Rat (newspaper)|Rat]]'', ''Win'', and ''[[Guardian (United States)|The Guardian (US)]]''.<ref name="s"/>

In the late 1960s Morgan became increasingly involved in American justice movement groups. In 1967 she became active in the [[Youth International Party]] (known in the media as the "Yippies") with [[Abbie Hoffman]] and [[Paul Krassner]]. However, tensions over [[sexism]] within YIP (and the [[New Left]] in general) came to a head while Morgan was becoming more involved in [[Women's Liberation]] activism and [[second-wave feminism|contemporary feminism]].<ref name="s"/>

She became a founding member of the short-lived [[New York Radical Women]] group in fall of 1967, and a key organizer of their September 1968 inaugural protest of the [[Miss America]] pageant in [[Atlantic City]].<ref name="jaw"/> Also in 1968 she helped to create [[W.I.T.C.H. (organisation)|W.I.T.C.H.]], a radical feminist group that used public [[street theater]] (called "hexes" or "zaps") to call attention to sexism. Morgan designed the universal symbol of the [[women’s movement]], the woman’s symbol centered with a raised fist. She also coined the term “[[herstory]].”<ref name="oed"/><ref name="msms"/>

With the royalties from her anthology ''[[Sisterhood Is Powerful]]'' (1970), Morgan founded the first feminist fund in the US, The Sisterhood Is Powerful Fund, which provided seed money grants to many early women's groups throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Like many [[radical feminist]]s, Morgan made a decisive break from what they described as the "male Left."<ref name="an"/> She led the women's takeover of the underground newspaper ''Rat'' in 1970,<ref name="nyorker"/> and put the reasons for her break in the first women's issue of the paper, in an essay titled "Goodbye to All That." The essay gained notoriety in the press for naming supposedly [[sexism|sexist]] leftist men and institutions. During the Democratic primaries for the presidential race in 2008, Morgan wrote a fiery "Goodbye To All That #2" in defense of [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]].<ref name="s"/> The article quickly became viral on the internet for lambasting sexist rhetoric directed towards Clinton by the media.<ref name="nyorker"/>

To interview women for her writing and to bring attention to cross-cultural sexism, she has traveled to meet with rebel fighters in the [[Philippines]], [[Brazilian people|Brazilian]] women activists in the slumbs/favelas of [[Rio de Janeiro|Rio]], women in the townships of [[South Africa]], and post-revolutionary [[Iran]]ian women.<ref name="jaw"/> In 1986 and 1989 she also spent some months in the [[Palestine|Palestinian]] refugee camps in [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]], [[Egypt]], [[Syria]], [[West Bank]], and [[Gaza]], where she reported on the conditions for women. She has also lectured and spoke at universities and institutions in countries across [[Europe]], [[Australia]], [[Brazil]], the [[Caribbean]], [[Central America]], [[China]], [[Indonesia]], [[Israel]], [[Japan]], [[Nepal]], [[New Zealand]], [[Pacific Island]] nations, the [[Philippines]], and [[South Africa]].<ref name="biohome"/>

The [[Feminist Majority Foundation]] named her "Woman of the Year" in 1990. In 1992 she was given the Warrior Woman Award for Promoting Racial Understanding from Asian American Women's National Organization. She was also given a Lifetime Achievement in Human Rights from [[Equality Now]] in 2002. In 2003 [[The Feminist Press]] gave her a "Femmy" Award for "service to literature,"<ref name="biohome"/> and she received the Humanist Heroine Award from [[The American Humanist Association]] in 2007.<ref name="hhumanist"/>

;Limbaugh FCC incident
In March 2012 Morgan, along with her Women's Media Center co-founders [[Jane Fonda]] and [[Gloria Steinem]], wrote an open letter asking listeners to request that the U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) investigate the [[Rush Limbaugh–Sandra Fluke controversy]],<ref name="dc"/> where [[Rush Limbaugh|Limbaugh]] referred to [[Sandra Fluke]] as a "slut" and "prostitute" after she advocated for insurance coverage for [[contraception]].<ref name="wsj"/> They asked that stations licensed for public airwaves carrying Limbaugh be held accountable for contravening public interest as a continual promoter of [[hate speech]] against various minority and disempowered groups.<ref name="airwaves"/>

===Sisterhood Anthologies===
[[File:SisterhoodIsGlobalLincolnCenter.jpeg|thumb|left|300px|Sisterhood is Global at Lincoln Center]]
In 1970, she edited the first [[anthology]] of [[feminism|feminist]] writings, ''[[Sisterhood is Powerful|Sisterhood Is Powerful]]''. The compilation included classic feminist essays by activists such as [[Naomi Weisstein]], [[Kate Millett]], [[Eleanor Holmes Norton]], [[Flo Kennedy]], [[Frances M. Beal|Frances Beale]], [[Jo Freeman]] and [[Mary Daly]], as well as historical documents including the [[National Organization for Women|N.O.W.]] Bill of Rights, excerpts from the [[SCUM Manifesto]], the [[Redstockings]] Manifesto, and historical documents from [[W.I.T.C.H. (organisation)|W.I.T.C.H.]]. The varied topics included [[female orgasm]], the lives of radical lesbians, the difficulties of being female and black, and the nature of [[prostitution]].<ref name="jaw"/> The anthology has been widely credited with helping to start the general Women's Movement in the US. It was cited by the [[New York Public Library]] as "One of the 100 most influential Books of the 20th Century"—along with those of [[Sigmund Freud]] and [[Karl Marx]].<ref name="nypl"/>

Her follow-up volume in 1984, ''Sisterhood Is Global'', compiled articles about women in over seventy countries. That same year she founded the Sisterhood Is Global Institute, notable for being the first international feminist [[think tank]]. Repeatedly refusing the post of president, she was elected secretary of the organization from 1989 to 1993, was VP from 1993 to 1997, and after serving on the advisory board, finally agreed to become president in 2004.<ref name="glob"/> A third volume, ''Sisterhood Is Forever'' in 2003, was a collection of articles by well-known feminists, both young and "vintage," in a retrospective on and future blueprint for the feminist movement.<ref name="jaw"/>

===Journalism===
Morgan's articles, essays, reviews, profiles, interviews, political analyses, and investigative journalism have appeared widely in publications such as ''Amazon Quarterly'', ''[[The Atlantic]]'', ''[[Broadsheet]]'', ''Chrysalis'', ''[[Essence (magazine)|Essence]]'', ''Equal Times'', ''[[Everywoman]]'', ''Feminist Art Journal'', ''[[Guardian (United States)|The Guardian (US)]]'', ''[[The Guardian (UK)]]''[[The Hudson Review]]'', ''[[The Los Angeles Times]]'', ''[[Ms. (magazine)|Ms.]]'', ''[[The New Republic]]'', ''[[The New York Times]]'', ''[[Off Our Backs]]'', ''Pacific Ways'', ''[[The Second Wave (journal)|The Second Wave]]'', ''Sojourner'', ''[[The Village Voice]]'', ''The Voice of Women'', various [[United Nations]]' periodicals, etc. Articles and essays have also appeared in reprint in international media, in English across the
[[Commonwealth]], and in translation in 13 languages in [[Europe]], [[South America]], the [[Middle East]], and [[Asia]].<ref name="wm"/>

Morgan has written for online audiences and blogged frequently. Among her best known articles are "Letters from Ground Zero" (written and posted after the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001—which went viral), "Goodbye To All That #2", "Women of the Arab Spring," "When Bad News is Good News: Notes of a Feminist News Junkie,” “Manhood and Moral Waivers,” and "Faith Healing: A Modest Proposal on Religious Fundamentalism." The last five and other examples of her online work are hosted in the archives of [http://www.womensmediacenter.com/ex/020108.html The Women's Media Center].

===Authorship===
Since the 1970s Morgan has continued in her writing, editing, publishing, and feminist organizing.<ref name="toofar"/> Her writing has been translated into 13 languages. According to a 1972 review of her debut book of poems ''Monster'' in ''[[The Washington Post]]'', "[These poems] establish Morgan as a poet of considerable means. There is a savage elegance, a richness of vocabulary, a thrust and steely polish..... A powerful, challenging book."<ref name="wp"/> From 1979 to 1980 the [[National Endowment for the Arts]] awarded her a Literature Grant in Poetry. She then held a writing residency at [[Yaddo]] in 1980. A year later she was given the Front Page Award for Distinguished Journalism for her cover story in ''[[Ms. Magazine]]'' titled "The First Feminist Exiles from the USSR."<ref name="biohome"/> She was awarded [[Ford Foundation]] Grants in 1982, 1983, and 1984 to help fund work on ''Sisterhood Is Global''.<ref name="biohome"/>

Her 1987 novel ''Dry Your Smile'' was somewhat autobiographical, following the life of fictional feminist Julian Travis. Like Morgan, Travis is a former child actor who escapes into a [[bohemian]] marriage with a gay man and later falls in love with a woman.<ref name="dry"/>

She has served as a contributing editor to ''[[Ms. Magazine]]'' for many years, and served as editor-in-chief from 1989-1994. In 1990 she relaunched the magazine as an international ad-free bimonthly publication, leading to a series of awards.<ref name="biohome"/><ref name="ep"/> In 1991, she was awarded for Editorial Excellence by ''[[Utne Reader]]'', and also was given the Exceptional Merit in Journalism Award by the [[National Women's Political Caucus]].<ref name="biohome"/>

A review of her 1991 Selected and New Poems, ''Upstairs in the Garden'' noted “As a vindication and celebration of the female experience, these inventive poems successfully wed feminist rhetoric with vivid imagery and sensitivity to the music of language.” <ref name="poet"/> Two books of poems, ''Lady of the Beasts'' and ''Depth Perception'', earned a review in ''[[Poetry Magazine]]'' by [[Jay Parini]], stating "Robin Morgan will soon be regarded as one of our first-ranking poets."<ref name="jay"/>

She published the historical fiction book ''The Burning Time'' in 2006,  a historical novel [[Middle Ages]]. It follows a woman fighting the [[Inquisition]], and is drawn from court records of the first [[witchcraft trial]] in Ireland, involving Lady Alyce Kyteler of [[Kilkenny]]. The novel was placed on the Recommended Quality Fiction List of 2007 by the [[American Library Association]].<ref name="burning"/> Her most recent non-fiction book is ''Fighting Words: A Tool Kit for Combating the Religious Right.''<ref name="wm"/>

She has been a Guest Professor or Scholar in Residence at a variety of academic institutions. In 1973 she was a Guest Chair for Feminist Studies at [[New College of Florida]], and The Center for Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture at [[Rutgers University]] hosted her as a visiting professor in 1987. She was a Distinguished Visiting Scholar in Residence, Literary and Cultural Studies at the [[University of Canterbury]], [[Christchurch, New Zealand]] in 1989. She later was a visiting professor in residence at the [[University of Denver]], Colorado, in 1996. In 2000, she then became a visiting professor at the [[University of Bologna]] in [[Italy]], at their Center for Documentation on Women.<ref name="biohome"/> She also was awarded an Honorary Degree as a [[Doctor of Humane Letters]] by the [[University of Connecticut at Storrs]] in 1992.<ref name="biohome"/> The Robin Morgan Papers are archived at the [http://www.library.duke.edu/rubenstein/findingaids/morganrobin Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture] at [[Duke University]].

===Views on transsexuality===
In 1973, Robin Morgan gave a keynote speech at the West Coast Lesbian Conference. In the speech, she criticized Beth Elliott, a transsexual singer and guitarist who had controversially been scheduled to perform at the conference. Morgan called Elliott "an opportunist, an infiltrator, and a destroyer--with the mentality of a rapist." <ref name="gayla"/>

==Personal life==
Robin Morgan currently lives in [[Manhattan]].<ref name="biohome"/> Her son (with former husband [[Kenneth Pitchford]]) is the musician and recording artist [[Blake Morgan]]. She has been open about having romantic relationships with both men and women since the 1960s. While she has identified her religion as both [[Atheism|atheist]] and [[Wicca|Wiccan]], she is "deeply opposed to all patriarchal religions.”<ref name="jaw"/>
