1970 feminist anthology by Robin Morgan
Sisterhood Is Powerful: An Anthology of Writings from the Women's Liberation Movement is a 1970 anthology of feminist writings edited by Robin Morgan , a feminist poet and founding member of New York Radical Women .[1] It is one of the first widely available anthologies of second-wave feminism . It is both a consciousness-raising analysis and a call-to-action.[2] Sisterhood Is Global: The International Women's Movement Anthology (1984) is the follow-up to Sisterhood Is Powerful .[3] After Sisterhood Is Global came its follow-up, Sisterhood Is Forever: The Women's Anthology for a New Millennium (2003).[3]
Background [ edit ]
Kathie Sarachild coined the phrase "sisterhood is powerful" in 1968, in a flier she wrote for the keynote speech she gave for New York Radical Women 's first public action at the convocation of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade.[4]
Contents [ edit ]
The collection addresses several major issues including "the need for radical feminism, the discrimination women experienced from men in the political left, and the blatant sexism faced in the workplace."[5]
It includes classic feminist essays and writings by activists such as Naomi Weisstein , Kate Millett , Eleanor Holmes Norton , Florynce Kennedy , Frances M. Beal , Lucinda Cisler , Joreen , Marge Piercy , Lynn Strongin , and Mary Daly , as well as historical documents including the N.O.W. Bill of Rights, excerpts from the SCUM Manifesto , the Redstockings Manifesto, and historical documents from W.I.T.C.H. It also includes a document from the Black Women's Liberation Group from Mount Vernon ; this piece demonstrates the race-conscious "sisterhood" that some second-wave black feminists demanded and was used by many second-wave feminists to communicate this demand.[6] It also includes what Morgan coined "verbal karate": useful quotes and statistics about women.[7]

The anthology was cited by the New York Public Library as one of the "New York Public Library's Books of the [20th] Century".[8] However, Chile, China and South Africa banned the anthology.[9]
The Oxford English Dictionary credits Robin Morgan with first using the term "herstory " in print in the book. Concerning the feminist organization W.I.T.C.H., Morgan wrote:
The fluidity and wit of the witches is evident in the ever-changing acronym: the basic, original title was Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell [...] and the latest heard at this writing is Women Inspired to Commit Herstory."[10] [11]
Morgan established the first American feminist grant-giving organization, The Sisterhood Is Powerful Fund, with the royalties from Sisterhood Is Powerful .[9]
In popular culture [ edit ]
In a 2019 Paris Fashion Week show, Christian Dior 's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri debuted a collection of T-shirts that read Sisterhood Is Powerful , Sisterhood Is Global and Sisterhood Is Forever , respectively.[12] [13]
The 2016 coming-of-age film 20th Century Women prominently features the book, being lent to Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann ) by Abbie (Greta Gerwig ).
