The Word of a Woman: Selected Prose 1968-1991 - Softcover
This is a collection of writing from one of the pioneers of the North American women's movement. The book includes over 18 essays, including "Theory and Practice: Pornography and Rape". There are also up-to-date commentaries on each essay. Recalled are the symbolic crowning of a sheep at a beauty pagent protest in the 1960s at which bras were certainly binned but never burned; analysis as to the significance of the loss of Simone de Beauvoir in 1986; and in 1990, a look at the massacre of 14 female engineering students in Montreal.

From Publishers Weekly:
With a minimum of manipulative rhetoric, well-known feminist Morgan ( The Demon Lover ) takes us on an exhilarating odyssey through the women's movement of the past quarter-century in this selection of essays, meditations, polemics and theoretical articles. Pieces on the first Miss America Pageant protest and on women's rage at male-chauvinist leftists seem a bit dated, but Morgan addresses contemporary issues such as the causal links between pornography and acts of violence against women. She also draws analogies between women and colonized peoples and sketches a "feminist diplomacy" to help women bridge barriers of race, class, age, ethnicity and sexual preference. Surveying the international crime of female genital mutilation, Morgan calls for the abolition of this practice. In trenchant travel pieces, Morgan, editor-in-chief of Ms. magazine, reports on feminist stirrings in the Philippines and on the plight of Palestinian women in Israel's Occupied Territories. Her pieces should instill hope, energy and commitment into feminism.
