Gloria Steinem was a dangerous woman. She spoke up about injustice and led fights for fairer laws and more opportunities for women. She stood up for the underrepresented and misrepresented. She showed up for others. That's my definition of a dangerous woman — and in this case, a woman who inspired me to become more dangerous, too.
Julie Burton, the president and CEO of the Women’s Media Center, recalled:
Gloria once wrote a letter to Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, author of the Roe v. Wade decision, thanking him for saving more women’s lives than anyone in US history. We could say the same about Gloria’s impact on women’s lives, because for decades she was at the forefront of the struggle for political and social equality and justice for women. She used her voice and writing to raise visibility for women and the issues of our time. We came to take it for granted that she would always be where she was most needed—at the podium, on TV, on the plane, on the phone, or at the computer—to make the ideal of social justice a reality. Her phrases have become mottoes of our time.
Pat Mitchell, the first female President and CEO of PBS [and Founding Co-Chair of the Women's Media Center], Gail Evans, Former Executive Vice President of the CNN Newsgroup, and Teya Ryan, Former President and CEO of Georgia Public Broadcasting and Former Executive Vice President of CNN Domestic Networks all join host Bill Nigut to honor the life and legacy of Gloria Steinem.
She completed her final Sisterhood anthology, Sisterhood Is Forever, with essays by more than 50 feminists, in 2003. She then joined forces with Steinem and Jane Fonda in 2005 to create the Women’s Media Center, a nonprofit organization supporting women working in the media. She hosted a podcast on politics for the center for many years.
In 2005, she, Steinem and Jane Fonda launched the Women’s Media Center, which has a mission to support “the visibility, viability and decision-making power of women and girls in media.”

Morgan's death was confirmed Saturday by the Women's Media Center, an organization she cofounded with Jane Fonda and the celebrated author and activist Gloria Steinem, who died Wednesday.
The editor-in-chief of Ms. Magazine from 1989 to 1994, Morgan, over the last decade, hosted, wrote, and produced the award-winning WMC podcast Women’s Media Center Live with Robin Morgan. The podcast recently produced its 500th episode.
Morgan, Fonda and Steinem co-founded the Women’s Media Center 21 years ago with a mission to give voice to and strengthen democracy for women in media and beyond. “Our job is to make women visible and powerful in the media,” Morgan once told Fox 5 Good Day New York. “And we do that through lots of programs — through training women in media skills, through SheSource, which is the go-to place for experts, through many programs and our radio program [now podcast], Women’s Media Center Live with Robin Morgan.”
Today the Women’s Media Center produces original on-air and online journalism by and about women, and documents and fights structural sexism and racism in media.
In 1984, she was a founder of an early feminist think tank, the Sisterhood Is Global Institute. In 2005, she, Steinem and Jane Fonda launched the Women’s Media Center, which has a mission to support “the visibility, viability and decision-making power of women and girls in media.”
More recently, she hosted a syndicated radio show and remained active despite being diagnosed 16 years ago with Parkinson’s disease, which inspired several poems and a TEDWomen talk in 2015.

Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center, called Morgan “one of the architects of the contemporary women’s movement”, hailing her writing and “global leadership for justice and equality”.
Her death followed by days that of longtime ally Gloria Steinem, with whom she and Jane Fonda founded the Women's Media Center. In a statement, per Deadline, Fonda said: "Robin Morgan was an artist, a poet, an activist, and in my eyes, a living legend—a woman whose anthology series, Sisterhood is Powerful, Sisterhood is Global, and Sisterhood is Forever provided the evidence needed to launch a feminist revolution, and it was part of my feminist education that led to the movie, 9 to 5."
“Robin Morgan was one of the architects of the contemporary women’s movement,” said Julie Burton, president and CEO of the Women’s Media Center. “Her global leadership for justice and equality, her work as a pioneering journalist who gave voice and visibility to women, and her fierce artistry as an internationally recognized poet and author of more than 20 books—these all constitute the legacy she has forged over decades of creative, cultural and political work.”
