DURHAM, N.C. -- Robin Morgan, a leader of the modern feminist movement, award-winning poet, essayist, political theorist, journalist and activist, is coming to Duke University next week to kick off Women's History Month celebrations on campus.

Morgan, a former editor of Ms. Magazine, will discuss her new book, "Sisterhood is Forever: The Women's Anthology for a New Millennium," at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, in the White Lecture Hall on Duke's East Campus. A book signing will follow the lecture. Reserved parking will be available on the East Campus quad after 6 p.m.

The latest book is a continuation of Morgan's previous works, "Sisterhood Is Powerful" -- named by The American Library Association as one of the 100 most influential books of the 20th century -- and a book on international feminism called "Sisterhood is Global." "Sisterhood is Forever" includes an anthology of feminist writing from authors of different generations. One chapter is contributed by current Duke undergraduate student Jasmine Victoria, who will introduce Morgan at the talk.

Topics in Morgan's latest book range from reproductive, health and environmental issues to workplace inequities and the economics of women's unpaid labor; from globalization to the politics of aging; from cyberspace, violence against women and electoral politics to spirituality, the law, the media and academia.

Documents from Morgan's nearly 40 years of activism reside in the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture, part of Duke's Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library.
