Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan
The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion
Robin Morgan
raised' consciousness means lifelong bumping up against a continually receding ceiling. I mean, who ever 'graduates'?
Robin Morgan
Let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that there can be such a thing as men's liberation groups.
Robin Morgan
Your life is the one place you have to spend yourself fully - wild - generous, drastic in an unrationed profligacy of self.
Robin Morgan
The subtlest and most vicious aspect of women's oppression is that we have been conditioned to believe we are not oppressed, blinded so as not to see our own condition.
Robin Morgan
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Robin Morgan
Don't accept rides from strange men, and remember that all men are strange.
Robin Morgan
Carry yourself as one who will change the world, because you will.
Robin Morgan
In the long run, Women's Liberation will of course free men-but in the short run it's going to COST men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily.
