Robin Morgan
... a phallocentric culture is more likely to begin its censorship purges with books on pelvic self-examination for women or bookscontaining lyrical paeans to lesbianism than with See Him Tear and Kill Her or similar Mickey-Spillanesque titles.
Robin Morgan
We are the women men warned us about.
Robin Morgan
Ordinary is a word that has no meaning.
Robin Morgan
I am an artist and a political being as well.
Robin Morgan
The women's movement is a non-hierarchical one. It does things collectively and experimentally.
Robin Morgan
Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.
