Robin Morgan Gives Voice to the Rage of all Women

Robin Morgan's collection of essays "The Word of a Woman: Feminist Dispatches, 1968-1992" is a powerful reminder of her role as leading theorist of Second Wave feminism. She writes with both clarity and rage. while some of the people referred to in certain essays may be long forgotten people from the history of the 1960s New Left she provides nasty pithy reminders as to why she skewered them in the first place. (Good-bye to all that). Her essay "Theory and Practice: Pornography and Rape" makes this book a must own for any woman interested in feminism.
