'''Robin Morgan''' (born January 29, 1941) is an American poet, writer, activist, journalist, lecturer and former [[child actor]]. Since the early 1960s, she has been a key [[Radical feminism|radical feminist]] member of the American [[Feminist movement|Women's Movement]], and a leader in the international feminist movement. Her 1970 anthology ''[[Sisterhood Is Powerful]]'' was cited by the [[New York Public Library]] as "One of the 100 Most Influential Books of the 20th Century.".<ref name="nypl"/> She has written more than 20 books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and was editor of ''[[Ms. (magazine)|Ms.]]'' magazine.<ref name="enotes"/>

During the 1960s, she participated in the [[civil rights]] and [[anti-Vietnam War]] movements; in the late 1960s, she was a founding member of radical feminist organizations such as [[New York Radical Women]] and [[W.I.T.C.H.

==Child actor==
[[File:TheRobinMorganShow.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|Morgan in WOR radio studio at ''The Robin Morgan Show'' in 1946]]
Due to circumstances at her birth, her mother claimed that Robin Morgan was born a year later than she actually was<ref name="s"/> (see [[#Birth and parents|birth and parents]]), and throughout her career as a child actor, she was thought to be a year younger than she actually was, both by herself and others.

Already as a toddler, her mother, Faith, and mother's sister Sally started Robin as a child model. At the age of five, believed to be four,<ref name="s"/> she got her own program, titled ''Little Robin Morgan'', on the New York radio station [[WOR (AM)|WOR]]. She was also a regular on the original network radio version of ''[[Juvenile Jury]]''. Her acting career took off when she was eight and started in the TV series ''[[Mama (American TV series)|Mama]]'', as Dagmar Hansen, the younger sister in the family depicted in the series. The show premiered on CBS in 1949, starring [[Peggy Wood]], and was a great success. Morgan played Cecchina Cabrini in ''[[Citizen Saint]]'' (1947).

During the [[Golden Age of Television]], Morgan starred in such "TV spectaculars" as ''Kiss and Tell'' and ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'', and guest starred on such live dramas as ''[[Omnibus (UK TV series)|Omnibus]]'', ''[[Suspense (American TV series)|Suspense]]'', ''[[Danger (TV series)|Danger]]'', ''[[Hallmark Hall of Fame]]'', ''[[Robert Montgomery Presents]]'', ''[[Tales of Tomorrow]]'', and ''[[Kraft Theatre]]''. She worked with directors such as [[Sidney Lumet]], [[John Frankenheimer]], [[Ralph Nelson]]; writers such as [[Paddy Chayefsky]] and [[Rod Serling]]; and performed with actors such as [[Boris Karloff]], [[Rosalind Russell]], [[Bill "Bojangles" Robinson]], and [[Cliff Robertson]].<ref name="s"/>

Having wanted to write rather than to act since she was four, Morgan fought her mother's efforts to keep her in show business,<ref name="toofar"/> and left the cast of ''Mama'' at age 14.

== Adult life and career ==
As she entered adulthood, Robin Morgan continued her education as a [[Matriculation#Special student|non-matriculating]] student at [[Columbia University]]. She began working as a secretary at [[Curtis Brown Literary Agency]], where she met and worked with such writers as poet [[W. H. Auden]] in the early 1960s. She had already begun publishing her own poetry (later collected in her first book of poems, ''Monster'', published in 1972). Throughout the next decades, along with political activism, writing fiction and nonfiction prose, and lecturing at colleges and universities on women's rights, Morgan continued to write and publish poetry.<ref name="s"/>

[[File:RobinMorgan GrovePressArrest1970.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Morgan being arrested at [[Grove Press]], 1970]]

In 1962, Morgan married poet Kenneth Pitchford.<ref name="toofar"/> She gave birth to their son, [[Blake Morgan]], in 1969. The couple divorced in 1983.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Langston|first=Donna|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZuzP2yWtmj4C|title=A to Z of American Women Leaders and Activists|publisher=Facts on File|year=2002|isbn=0-8160-4468-6|location=New York|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=ZuzP2yWtmj4C&pg=PA156 156]}}</ref> At that time, she was working as an editor at [[Grove Press]] and was involved in an attempt to [[unionize]] the [[publishing industry]]. When Grove summarily fired her and other union sympathizers, she led a seizure and occupation of their offices in the spring of 1970, protesting the [[union-busting]], as well as the dishonest accounting of [[royalties]] to [[Betty Shabazz]], [[Malcolm X]]'s widow. Morgan and eight other women were arrested that day.<ref name="s"/>

In the mid-1970s Morgan became a Contributing Editor to ''[[Ms. (magazine)|Ms.]]'' magazine, and continued her affiliation there as a part- or full-time editor in the following decades. She served as [[editor-in-chief]] of the magazine from 1989 to 1994, turning it into a highly successful, ad-free, bimonthly, international publication, which won awards for both writing and design, and received considerable acclaim among journalists.<ref name="biohome"/><ref name="wp"/>

In 1979, when the [[Supersisters]] trading card set was produced and distributed, featuring famous women from politics, media and entertainment, culture, sports, and other areas of achievement, one of the cards featured Morgan's name and picture.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wulf |first=Steve |url=https://www.espn.com/espnw/news-commentary/story/_/id/12535055/original-roster |title=Supersisters: Original Roster |publisher=Espn.go.com |date=2015-03-23 |access-date=2015-06-04}}</ref> Today, the trading cards are in the collections of the [[Museum of Modern Art]] and the [[University of Iowa]] library.<ref name="jaw"/>

In 2005, Morgan co-founded the non-profit progressive women's media organization, The Women’s Media Center, with friends actor/activist [[Jane Fonda]], and activist [[Gloria Steinem]]. Seven years later, in 2012, she debuted a weekly radio show and [[podcast]], ''Women’s Media Center Live With Robin Morgan.'' The broadcast is syndicated in the US and, as a podcast, is published online at the WMCLive website, and distributed on [[iTunes]] in 110 countries. It has been praised by ''[[The Huffington Post]]'' as "talk radio with a brain" and features commentary by Morgan about recent news, and interviews with [[activists]], [[politicians]], authors, actors and artists.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wmclive.com |title=Women's Media Center Live with Robin Morgan |publisher=Wmclive.com |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref> The weekly hour was picked up by [[CBS Radio]] two weeks after its launch and is broadcast on CBS affiliate WJFK each Saturday. The program features commentary by Morgan about recent news, and interviews with [[activists]], [[politicians]], authors, actors and artists.

===Activism===
By 1962 Morgan had become active in the [[anti-war]] Left, and had also contributed articles and poetry to such [[Left-wing]] and [[counter-culture]] journals as ''[[Liberation (magazine)|Liberation]]'', ''[[Rat (newspaper)|Rat]]'', ''Win'', and ''[[The National Guardian]]''.<ref name="s"/>

In the 1960s she became increasingly involved in social-justice movements, notably the civil-rights and anti-Vietnam war. In early 1967, she was active in the [[Youth International Party]] (known in the media as the "Yippies"), with [[Abbie Hoffman]] and [[Paul Krassner]]. However, tensions over [[sexism]] within the YIP (and the [[New Left]] in general) came to a head when Morgan grew more involved in [[Women's Liberation]] and contemporary [[feminism]].<ref name="s"/>

[[File:Feminism symbol.svg|thumb|Feminist symbol designed by Morgan for a [[Miss America protest]] in 1968, where it was popularized]]
In 1967, Morgan became a founding member of the short-lived [[New York Radical Women]] group. She was the key organizer of their inaugural protest of the [[Miss America]] pageant in Atlantic City.<ref name="jaw"/> She designed the feminist symbol of a [[raised fist]] within the [[Venus symbol]] for that [[Miss America protest|protest of the 1969 Miss America pageant]], where it was popularized.<ref>Felder, Deborah G. ''[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Women_s_Almanac/ELq9DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22venus+symbol+of+a+female+but+with+a+raised+fist%22&pg=PT193&printsec=frontcover The American Women's Almanac: 500 Years of Making History]''.

In 1968 she also cofounded [[Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell]] (W.I.T.C.H.), a radical feminist group that used public [[street theater]] (called "hexes" or "zaps") to call attention to sexism. The ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'' also credits her with first using the term "[[herstory]]" in print in her 1970 anthology ''[[Sisterhood is Powerful]]''.<ref name="oed"/><ref name="msms"/> Concerning the feminist organization W.I.T.C.H., Morgan wrote:

:The fluidity and wit of the witches is evident in the ever-changing acronym: the basic, original title was [[Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell]] [...] and the latest heard at this writing is Women Inspired to Commit Herstory."<ref name="oed"/>

With the royalties from her anthology ''Sisterhood Is Powerful'', Morgan founded the first feminist grant-giving foundation in the US: ''The Sisterhood Is Powerful Fund'', which provided seed money to many early women's groups throughout the 1970s and 1980s. She made a decisive break from what she described as the "male Left"<ref name="an"/> when she led the women's takeover of the underground newspaper ''[[Rat (newspaper)|Rat]]'' in 1970,<ref name="nyorker"/> and listed the reasons for her break in the first women's issue of the paper, in her essay titled "Goodbye to All That". The essay gained notoriety in the press for naming specific sexist men and institutions in the Left. Decades later, during the Democratic primaries for the 2008 presidential race, Morgan wrote a fiery sequel to her original essay, titled "Goodbye To All That #2", in defense of [[Hillary Clinton]].<ref name="s"/> The article quickly went viral on the internet for lambasting sexist rhetoric directed towards Clinton by the media.<ref name="nyorker"/>

In 1977, Morgan became an associate of the [[Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press]] (WIFP).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wifp.org/who-we-are/associates/|title=Associates {{!}} The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press|website=www.wifp.org|language=en-US|access-date=2017-06-21}}</ref> WIFP is an American nonprofit publishing organization. The organization works to increase communication between women and connect the public with forms of women-based media.

Morgan has traveled extensively across the United States and around the world to bring attention to cross-cultural sexism. She has met with and interviewed female rebel fighters in the [[Philippines]], [[Brazilians|Brazilian]] women activists in the slums/favelas of [[Rio de Janeiro|Rio]], women organizers in the townships of [[South Africa]], and underground feminists in [[Iran]].<ref name="jaw"/> Twice––in 1986 and 1989 she spent months in the [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] refugee camps in [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]], [[Egypt]], [[Syria]], [[West Bank]], and [[Gaza City|Gaza]], to report on the conditions of women. Morgan has also spoken at universities and institutions in countries across Europe, the [[Caribbean]], and [[Central America]], as well as in Australia, [[Brazil]], China, [[Indonesia]], [[Israel]], Japan, [[Nepal]], New Zealand, [[Pacific Island]] nations, the [[Philippines]], and [[South Africa]].<ref name="biohome"/>

Over the years, Morgan has received numerous awards for her activism on women’s rights.<ref name="jaw"/> The [[Feminist Majority Foundation]] named Robin Morgan "Woman of the Year" in 1990; she received the Warrior Woman Award for Promoting Racial Understanding from The Asian American Women's National Organization in 1992; in 2002 she received a Lifetime Achievement in Human Rights from [[Equality Now]], and in 2003 [[The Feminist Press]] gave her a "Femmy" Award for her "service to literature".<ref name="biohome"/> She has also received the Humanist Heroine Award from [[The American Humanist Association]] in 2007.<ref name="hhumanist"/>

;Limbaugh FCC incident
In March 2012 Morgan, along with her Women's Media Center co-founders [[Jane Fonda]] and [[Gloria Steinem]], wrote an open letter asking listeners to request that the U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) investigate the [[Rush Limbaugh–Sandra Fluke controversy]], where [[Rush Limbaugh]] referred to [[Sandra Fluke]] as a "slut" and "prostitute" after she advocated for insurance coverage for [[contraception]].<ref name="wsj"/> They asked that stations licensed for public airwaves carrying Limbaugh be held accountable for contravening public interest as a continual promoter of [[hate speech]] against various disempowered and minority groups.<ref name="airwaves"/>

===Sisterhood anthologies===
[[File:SisterhoodIsGlobalLincolnCenter.jpeg|thumb|300px|Sisterhood is Global at [[Lincoln Center]]]]

That same year she founded the Sisterhood Is Global Institute, notable for being the first international feminist [[think tank]]. Repeatedly refusing the post of president, she was elected secretary of the organization from 1989 to 1993, was VP from 1993 to 1997, and after serving on the advisory board, finally agreed to become president in 2004.<ref name="glob"/> A third volume, ''[[Sisterhood Is Forever|Sisterhood Is<!-- Capitalize the second titular word as "Is" because that is how it is done on the book. --> Forever: The Women's Anthology for a New Millennium]]'' in 2003, was a collection of articles mostly by well-known feminists, both young and "vintage", in a retrospective on and future blueprint for the feminist movement.<ref name="jaw"/> It was compiled, edited, and with an introduction by Morgan, and Morgan wrote "To Vintage Feminists" and "To Younger Women", which were both included in the anthology as Personal Postscripts.<ref name="illinois1">{{cite web|url=http://vufind.carli.illinois.edu/vf-dpu/Record/dpu_536804/TOC |title=Library Resource Finder: Table of Contents for: Sisterhood is forever : the women's anth |publisher=Vufind.carli.illinois.edu |access-date=2015-10-15}}</ref>

Robin Morgan has published 21 books, including works of poetry, fiction, and the now-classic anthologies ''Sisterhood Is Powerful,'' ''Sisterhood Is Global'', and ''Sisterhood Is Forever''.<ref name="wm"/> Well before she was known as a feminist leader, literary magazines published her as a serious poet.<ref name="goodreads1">{{cite web|author=Robin Morgan |url=http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/544191.Monster |title=Monster: Poems by Robin Morgan — Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists |publisher=Goodreads.com |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref> According to a 1972 review of her first book of poems, ''Monster'', in ''[[The Washington Post]]'': "[These poems] establish Morgan as a poet of considerable means.

A powerful, challenging book."<ref name="wm"/> In 1979 Morgan received a [[National Endowment for the Arts]] Creative Writing Fellowship in poetry,<ref name="goodreads1"/> then held a writing residency at the arts colony [[Yaddo]] the following year. During this time she worked on a cycle of verse plays.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1980 |title=Notes on Contributors |url=https://fscj.digital.flvc.org/islandora/object/fscj%3A2492#page/n71/mode/2up |journal=Kalliope: A Journal of Women's Literature and Art |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=70}}</ref>

===Organizations===

====The Sisterhood Is Global Institute====
In 1984, Morgan, together with the late [[Simone de Beauvoir]] of France, and women from 80 other countries, founded The Sisterhood Is Global Institute (SIGI), an international non-profit NGO with consultative status to the United Nations, which has for three decades functioned as the world’s first feminist think-tank. The Institute has played a leading policy-formulation, strategic, and activist role in the evolution of the international Women’s Movement. SIGI has also developed a global communications network through which an umbrella of NGO interest, advice, contacts, and support is collectively mobilized to empower the global women’s movement.

Among its many activities, the Institute pioneered the first Urgent Acton Alerts regarding women’s rights; the first Global Campaign To Make Visible Women’s Unpaid Labor In National Accounts; and the first Women’s Rights Manuals For Muslim Societies (in 12 languages). Its most recent project is Donor Direct Action (donordirectaction.org), which links front-line women’s rights activists around the world to money, visibility, and popular support: minimum bureaucracy, maximum impact.

====Women’s Media Center====
In 2005, Morgan co-founded the non-profit progressive organization, The Women’s Media Center with her friends actor/activist [[Jane Fonda]], and activist [[Gloria Steinem]]. The focus of the organization is to make women powerful and visible in the media.

==Criticism==
Robin Morgan has been arrested, and has received death threats from both the Right and the Left because of her activism.<ref name="theguardian2006">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/sep/08/usa.gender |title=Sharon Krum talks to child star and trailblazing radical feminist Robin Morgan &#124; US news |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref> According to a ''[[The New Yorker|New Yorker]]'' magazine article published in the aftermath of Morgan's essay "Goodbye to All That" (#2) going viral on the Internet, "At five feet tall Morgan is, not for the first time, the little woman who has started a big war." In her original essay, "Goodbye to All That" (1970), Morgan bade adieu to "the dream that being in the leadership collective will get you anything but gonorrhea," referring to the "male Left". She also asserted that [[Charles Manson]] was "only the logical extreme of the normal American male’s fantasy."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Borowitz |first=Andy |url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/04/21/goodbye-again |title=Goodbye Again |magazine=The New Yorker |date=2008-04-21 |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref>

Two years later, Morgan published the poem "Arraignment", in which she openly accused [[Ted Hughes]] of the battery and murder of [[Sylvia Plath]].<ref name="Reading Women">{{cite book |last1=Phegley |first1=Jennifer |last2=Badia |first2=Janet |title = Reading Women Literary Figures and Cultural Icons from the Victorian Age to the Present |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-8020-8928-1 |page=252 |publisher=University of Toronto Press |jstor=10.3138/j.ctt2tv2v1 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.robinmorgan.us/robin_morgan_bookDetails.asp?ProductID=21 Robin Morgan's Official website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719182313/http://www.robinmorgan.us/robin_morgan_bookDetails.asp?ProductID=21 |date=2011-07-19 }} Retrieved 9 July 2010</ref> There were lawsuits, Morgan's 1972 book ''Monster'' which contained that poem was banned, and underground, pirated feminist editions of it were published.<ref name="goodreads1"/>

As the leading organizer of the 1968 protest of the Miss America Pageant, "[[Miss America protest|No More Miss America!]]", Morgan attacked the pageant’s "ludicrous 'beauty' standards and also accused the pageant of being [[racist]], since at that time no African American woman had been a contestant. In addition––according to Morgan––in sending pageant winners to entertain troops in Vietnam, the women served as "death mascots" in an immoral war. Morgan asked, "Where else could one find such a perfect combination of American values -- racism, militarism, capitalism -- all packaged in one 'ideal' symbol, a woman."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/missamerica/peopleevents/e_feminists.html |title=American Experience &#124; Miss America &#124; People & Events |website=[[PBS]] |access-date=2014-05-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821121555/http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/missamerica/peopleevents/e_feminists.html |archive-date=2014-08-21 }}</ref>

Another controversial quote is from her 1978 book, Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, where she stated: "I feel that "man-hating" is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them."<ref>Morgan, Robin (1978). [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Going-Too-Far-Personal-Chronicle/dp/039472612X Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist], p. 178. Vintage Books. {{ISBN|978-0-394-72612-0}}.</ref>

Morgan famously walked off ''The Tonight Show'' in 1969 when it screened vintage footage of her as a child actor while she was trying to speak seriously about the first national march against rape. Of the incident, she has been quoted as saying: "Imagine talking about such a subject and having it trivialized like that."<ref name="theguardian2006"/> In 1974, with her phrase "Pornography is the theory, and rape is the practice" (from her essay "Theory and Practice: Pornography and Rape"), she became a central figure on one of the divisive issues in [[feminism]], particularly among anti-pornography feminists in Anglophone countries.

In 1973, Robin Morgan gave the keynote speech at the West Coast Lesbian Conference, in which she criticized [[Beth Elliott]], a performer and organizer of the conference, for being a transgender woman.<ref name="Califia">{{cite book |jstor=10.7560/752948 |title=Califia Women: Feminist Education against Sexism, Classism, and Racism |pages=28–29 |author= Pomerleau, Clark |year=2013 |publisher=University of Texas Press |doi=10.7560/752948 |isbn=978-0-292-75295-5 }}</ref> In this speech she referred to Elliott as a "transsexual male" and used male pronouns throughout, charging her with being "an opportunist, an infiltrator, and a destroyer-with the mentality of a rapist."<ref>Robin Morgan, "Keynote Address", ''Lesbian Tide'', May/June 1973, Vol. 2, Issue 10/11, pp. 30–34 (quote p. 32); for additional coverage, see Pichulina Hampi, ''Advocate'', May 9, 1973, issue 11, p. 4.</ref> At the end of her speech she called for a vote on ejecting Elliott, with over two-thirds voting to allow her to remain, however the minority threatened to disrupt the conference and Elliott chose to leave after her performance to avoid this. The event demonstrated the high tension surrounding transgender women's involvement in the women's movement of the 1970s.<ref name="nyorker1"/><ref name="stryker">{{cite book |pages=102–104 |title=Transgender History |author=Stryker, Susan |publisher= Seal Press |date=2008 |isbn=9781580052245 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XcQ_BAAAQBAJ&q=daughters%20of%20bilitis%20beth%20elliott%20harassment&pg=PT112}}</ref><ref name="how">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XFP2PmYPBBAC&pg=PT289 |title=How Sex Changed: A History of Transsexuality in the United States |author= Meyerowitz, Joanne|date=30 June 2009 |publisher=Harvard University Press |isbn=9780674040960 }}</ref>

==Personal life==
Robin Morgan grew up in New York, first in [[Mount Vernon, New York|Mount Vernon]], and later in Manhattan, on [[Sutton Place, Manhattan|Sutton Place]]. She graduated from The Wetter School in Mount Vernon, in 1956, and was privately tutored from then until 1959.<ref name="biohome"/> She published her first serious poetry in literary magazines at age 17.<ref name="s"/>

In an article published in the Jewish Women's Archive, Morgan reveals she is of Jewish ancestry, but identifies her religion as Wiccan and/or atheist. She is quoted as saying, "When compelled to define myself specifically in ethnic terms—I have described myself as being European American of Ashkenazic (with a touch of Sephardic) Jewish ancestry. I respect and understand the desire of others to affirm their ethnic roots as central to their identities, but while I’m quite proud of mine, I feel they’re just not particularly central to my identity. I am deeply opposed to all patriarchal religions, including though not limited to [[Judaism]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/morgan-robin |title=Robin Morgan &#124; Jewish Women's Archive |publisher=Jwa.org |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref> Morgan continues to tackle topics such as religion, politics and sex in fiery commentaries on her radio show ''WMC Live with Robin Morgan''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.womensmediacenter.com/press/entry/womens-media-center-live-with-robin-morgan-reaches-100-show-milestone |title="Women's Media Center Live with Robin Morgan" Reaches 100-Show Milestone &#124; Women's Media Center |publisher=Womensmediacenter.com |date=2014-10-20 |access-date=2017-04-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225134600/http://www.womensmediacenter.com/press/entry/womens-media-center-live-with-robin-morgan-reaches-100-show-milestone |archive-date=2017-02-25 }}</ref>

Today Robin Morgan lives in [[Manhattan]].<ref name="biohome"/> [[Blake Morgan]], her son with ex-husband Kenneth Pitchford, is a musician, recording artist, and founder of New York-based record company [[ECR Music Group]].

In 2000 Norton published Morgan’s memoir, ''Saturday's Child'', in which she wrote candidly about "the shadowy circumstances of her birth; a lifelong, impassioned, love-hate relationship with her mother; her years as a famous child actor and her fight to escape show business to become a serious writer; her marriage to a fiery bisexual poet and how motherhood transformed her life; her years in the civil rights movement, the New Left, and counterculture; her emergence a leader of global feminism; and her love affairs with women as well as men," according to ''BookNews.com''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Barnes & Noble |url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/saturdays-child-robin-morgan/1101993109?ean=9780393050158#productInfoTabs |title=Saturday's Child: A Memoir by Robin Morgan, Hardcover &#124; Barnes & Noble® |publisher=Barnesandnoble.com |date=2000-11-28 |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref> In her book, "her passion for writing, especially poetry, is vividly conveyed, as is her love and respect for her son, born in 1969," according to ''The New York Times Book Review''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/00/11/26/bib/001126.rv103725.html |title=Saturday's Child |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=2000-11-26 |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref>

In April 2013, Morgan announced publicly that she had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, discussing the diagnosis on her radio show ''WMC Live with Robin Morgan'',<ref>{{cite web|title=Robin Morgan: Agent of Change for Women with Parkinson's|url=http://www.realwomenonhealth.com/robin-morgan-agent-of-change-for-women-with-parkinsons/|website=Real Women on Health|access-date=8 January 2015}}</ref> revealing that she had been diagnosed in 2010, but that her quality of life was thus far "normal".<ref>{{cite web|last1=Morgan|first1=Robin|title=WMC Live #33|url=http://wmclive.com/women-s-media-center-live-with-robin-morgan-episode-33-2013-04-06|website=Women's Media Center|access-date=8 January 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108160436/http://wmclive.com/women-s-media-center-live-with-robin-morgan-episode-33-2013-04-06|archive-date=8 January 2015}}</ref> Since her diagnosis, Morgan has become active with the [[Parkinson's Disease Foundation]] (PDF), completing training to become part of the organization's [[Parkinson's Advocates in Research]] initiative.<ref>{{cite web|title=PAIR: Women's Media Center Live with Robin Morgan|url=http://www.pdf.org/en/event_calendar/event/1070|website=Parkinson's Disease Foundation|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108161329/http://www.pdf.org/en/event_calendar/event/1070|archive-date=2015-01-08}}</ref> In 2014 she was the catalyst and took a leadership role in PDF's new Women and PD initiative, which will seek to better serve women impacted by Parkinson's disease by understanding and resolving gender inequalities in PD research, treatment, and caregiver support.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Morgan|first1=Robin|title=Women & Parkinson's Disease: Understanding this Specific Journey|url=http://www.pdf.org/fall14_women_parkinson|website=Parkinson's Disease Foundation|date=Fall 2014|access-date=8 January 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108161407/http://www.pdf.org/fall14_women_parkinson|archive-date=8 January 2015}}</ref> Morgan has also written new poetry inspired by her battle with the disease, and performed a reading of some of the poems as a TED Talk, at the TEDWomen 2015 conference.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ted.com/talks/robin_morgan_4_powerful_poems_about_parkinson_s_and_growing_older?language=en |title=Robin Morgan: 4 powerful poems about Parkinson's and growing older &#124; TED Talk |date=September 25, 2015 |publisher=TED.com |access-date=2017-04-13}}</ref>

===Birth and parents===
Her mother, Faith Berkeley Morgan, traveled from her New York residence to Florida to give birth, in order to avoid public scrutiny for her unmarried status.<ref name="s"/> Robin's father, a medical doctor named Mates Morgenstern, did not accompany pregnant Faith on her trip.

Until Morgan was 13 years old, her mother Faith claimed that Robin's father had been killed in World War II.<ref name="s"/> However, Robin overheard conversations between her mother and aunt suggesting her father was alive. When she confronted her mother, Faith changed her story to assert that Robin's father had escaped from one Nazi concentration camp after another, and that she had saved his life by sponsoring his immigration to the United States where he had no family.<ref name="s"/> Not until several years later did Robin get proof that this was also a lie.<ref name="s"/>

Morgan learned the truth, both about her father, who was still alive, and how old she really was, early in 1961.<ref name="s"/> Now a young woman, no longer working in show business, Robin found a listing for the medical practice of an obstetrician, Dr. Mates Morgenstern, in the [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]] telephone directory. Suspecting this might be her father, she had sought a meeting with him, without her mother's knowledge, and ultimately paid a surprise visit to his New Jersey office in January 1961.

Morgenstern revealed that he was aware of Robin's fame as a child actor, but had remained firm in his decision to avoid contact with Faith Morgan, having chosen not to see her again after the only time he visited her and the infant Robin.<ref name="s"/> He also told Robin, during their conversation in his medical office, that she in fact was born on January 29, 1941, exactly one year earlier than she thought, and disclosed the copy of her original birth certificate, that he had stored in his office. In order to conceal the out-of-wedlock birth, Faith Morgan had asked her Florida obstetrician to sign an affidavit stating that the birth took place on January 29, 1942.<ref name="s"/>

During the conversation in his office, Morgenstern told his daughter that he first met her mother after his arrival in the United States, more than a year before the United States entered World War II, and that she had had nothing to do with his immigration. He added that he had known Faith only briefly and claimed that she had fantasized their relationship as more important than it was.<ref name="s"/> By the time Morgan met her father he had married and had two sons with a woman he had known since they were both children in Austria. Having been separated by the war, they resumed their relationship after she arrived in the United States not long after Robin was born, which probably also added to Morgenstern's decision to abandon Faith and their daughter.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}

Morgan only met her father once more, in February 1965 when he invited her and her husband to his New Jersey home.<ref name="s"/> Morgenstern did not want his sons to know that they had a half-sister and Morgan acceded to his request that they tell his two sons that she was "the daughter of an old friend."<ref name="s"/> She refused to do so again, however, and never met him or her two half-brothers again.<ref name="s"/>

Morgan describes the two encounters that she had with her biological father in her autobiography, ''Saturday's Child: A Memoir''.

When Faith Morgan developed [[Parkinson's disease]], in her early 60s,<ref name="s"/> Robin telephoned her biological father to let him know. When she asked if he wanted to say goodbye, he declined.<ref name="s"/> During Faith's illness, her life savings, which consisted of the money Robin had earned in her radio and television career – by then a six-figure sum that had accumulated in the bank – was stolen, by her two elderly home caregivers.<ref name="s"/> Morgan discovered this but ultimately chose not to press charges.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}
