Sisterhood Is Powerful Paperback – September 12, 1970

by Robin Morgan (Editor)
4.9 out of 5 stars 38 ratings
Here is the first comprehensive collection of writings from the Women's Liberation Movement, including articles, poems, photo-graphs, and manifestos. This anthology captures the range of problems being considered by the new feminists, and the variety of approaches to analysis and action. Over fifty contributors, all women, write about how the "51% minority group" is used and abused by the major institutions of our society--marriage, the family, church, courts, the media, welfare, the schools, the professions, business, and industry. A section on the psychological and sexual repression of women attacks the freudian view of the female, and discusses the problems of the aging woman, abortion and birth control, prostitution, the persecution of lesbians. Black women, a Mexican woman, high school women, ex-New Leftists, housewives, and seasoned feminists speak from their experience in tones that range from detachment to outrage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Disallusioning -- But in an Important Way
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I read this book when I was in college in my twenties. I think that it was part of the Women's Studies course I took. I was amazed, shocked, and SO disillusioned. The things that humans (our fathers, grandfathers, greatgrandfathers, etc.) wrote re women over recorded history were shameful and disrespectful-- to my mind even scandalous and disgusting. The lack of basic compassion was unnerving. We hadn't come a long way, baby.

    I was so happy to come across this book. It was written the year I was born. So it's 45 years old. But, some classics are just as relevant now as the day they were written. "Sisterhood is Powerful" will always be a timely message. I can't wait to dive into this treasured piece of literature! :-)

    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    I bought and ready this in 1970 (long before Amazon existed) and used it when teaching high school courses. It's a shocking and detailed exposure of men's historic willingness and success in making hatred of women and women's rights their basic philosophy. I am not kidding. Buy or borrow this book and see what I mean.
