Robin Morgan: Herstory Maker and Feminist Icon | Miami News

Robin Morgan, the fiery feminist poet and activist who helped ignite the second wave with her protest at the Miss America pageant and her iconic anthology “Sisterhood is Powerful,” has died at 85. Once known as “Little Robin Morgan” for her early TV stardom, she became a radical voice—tossing bras into a Freedom Trash Can, coining “herstory,” and turning her clenched fist into a global symbol of liberation. Despite FBI scrutiny and arrests, she always called herself a poet, crafting lines like “hate generalizes, love specifies” that echoed through rallies. Even after a Parkinson’s diagnosis, she kept fighting: co-founding the Women’s Media Center with Steinem and Fonda, hosting a radio show, and delivering a TEDWomen talk. Her life was a rebellion against silence—and her legacy? A world still quoting her, marching under her banner, and demanding justice through her words.
