| Publisher Description: Robin Morgan is known as a prize-winning author, a political theorist, and a founder of the contemporary women's movement. But these adult accomplishments eclipsed an earlier fame. Saturday's child has to work for a living, and Morgan has--since the age of two. She was a tot model, had her own radio show at age four, and was a child star on television, including on the popular series Mama. Unlike most child actors, she emerged to reinvent a life filled with literary achievement and constructive politics. Here Morgan tells the whole story--the years as a child so famous she was named The Ideal American Girl, her fight to become a serious writer, marriage to a fiery bisexual poet, motherhood, lovers (male and female), and decades working on civil rights, the radical underground, and global feminism. This is the intensely personal, behind-the-scenes story of her life. |
