Sisterhood is Powerful is a second wave feminist anthology published in 1970. The editor of the
anthology, Robin Morgan, considered herself a radical feminist and wanted to separate herself
and the movement from leftist feminist. The anthology is the first comprehensive collection of
second wave feminist writings and can be seen as a guidebook to the women’s movement. Robin
and the contributors to the anthology wanted to fight workplace norms and family life norms. In
the process of doing this, they wanted to do things differently than the suffragettes and make sure
that their movement was inclusive.
