Robin Morgan: child star turned feminist icon dies at 85
Robin Morgan, who started as a child star in the 1940s and 50s and grew into a leading poet, editor and second‑wave feminist, has died at 85. A co‑founder of the Women’s Media Center with Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem, she edited Ms. magazine, helped publish Sisterhood Is Powerful, and popularized the term “herstory” while organizing the 1968 Miss America protest, shaping feminist thought and activism. Her life also included a prison term and an FBI file, reflecting a career defined by bold advocacy and literary work.
