Description
The personal papers of one of feminism's most passionate leaders, with a new preface by the author As an activist for social justice, Robin Morgan has acquired a reputation for strong convictions and a life-affirming way of expressing them through writing. Nowhere is this more evident than in Going Too Far, which takes us behind the scenes in Morgan's life and in the women's movement until 1977. We watch the development of an organizer who is a complex thinker while Morgan evolves as a show more mother, leader, writer, and activist. Morgan's keen eye is trained on all aspects of modern feminism, and this is reflected in the juxtaposition of the journal entries and letters of her personal life with the essays and polemics that shape her public persona. Her opinions on marriage, love, religion, pornography, and art are as utterly fresh and timely today as they were decades ago. Her growing wisdom and depth of perception are apparent in the book's progression, and her last chapters, focused on what she terms the "metaphysics of feminism, " will change a reader's world view for the better-and forever. show lessTags
