About the Book

An amazing trajectory: From child star to prize-winning writer to feminist icon Robin Morgan is famous as a bestselling author of nonfiction, a prize-winning poet, and a founder and leader of contemporary feminism. Before all of that, though, she was a working child actor. From the age of two, "Saturday's child had to work for a living." She had her own radio show on New York's WOR, Little Robin Morgan, by the time she was four; starred during the Golden Age of television in TV's Mama from ages seven to fourteen; and was named the Ideal American Girl when she was twelve. In Saturday's Child, she writes for the first time about her working youth, her battles to break away from show business and from her mother, her search for her absent, abandoning father, her entrance into the literary world, and the development of her politics, relationships, and writing. Morgan describes her tumultuous but successful life with startling honesty: her flight from child stardom into literature, her twenty-year marriage to a bisexual man, her joyful motherhood, her lovers, both male and female, her actions as a "temporary terrorist" on the left during the 1970s, and her travels and experiences in the global women's movement. She writes about compiling and editing the famous anthologies Sisterhood Is Powerful and Sisterhood Is Global and later cofounding with Simone de Beauvoir the Sisterhood Is Global Institute. Saturday's Child follows this "Ideal American Girl" on her path to becoming the feminist icon she is today. Epic in scope, witty, and bravely insightful, this is the tale of half of humanity rising up and demanding its rights, told through the intensely personal story of one remarkable woman.

About the Author :
Award-winning poet, novelist, journalist, and feminist leader Robin Morgan has published more than twenty books, including the now-classic anthologies Sisterhood Is Powerful and Sisterhood Is Global and the bestselling The Demon Lover: The Roots of Terrorism. Her work has been translated into thirteen languages, among them Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Persian. A recipient of honors including a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship, and former editor in chief of Ms., Morgan founded the Sisterhood Is Global Institute, and with Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem, cofounded the Women's Media Center. She writes and hosts Women's Media Center Live with Robin Morgan, a weekly program with a global audience on iTunes and WMCLive.com--her commentaries legendary, her guests ranging from grassroots activists to Christiane Amanpour, Anita Hill, and President Jimmy Carter.

Review :
"A canny rehabilitation of an abused genre--a memoir that steers clear of untempered self-regard and maintains a sharp political intelligence." --The Village Voice "Morgan's compelling self-portrait is that of a strong, complex woman who fights for her ideals." --Booklist "Her passion for writing, especially poetry, is vividly conveyed, as is her love and respect for her son, born in 1969." --The New York Times Book Review
