Robin Morgan died at age 85 on Saturday in New York after recent health problems, days after Gloria Steinem's death. She organized the 1968 Miss America pageant protest, edited the 1970 anthology Sisterhood is Powerful, and attended a 1970 Women's Liberation conference. Her son Blake Morgan is noted in reports.
Morgan's organizing and editing advanced critiques of beauty standards and patriarchal control that connect to ongoing efforts against gender inequality.
