Robin Morgan, a wholesome child star of the 1940s and ‘50s who grew up to become an all-American radical as a poet, essayist, editor and leading second-wave feminist, has died. Her death was confirmed Saturday by the Women’s Media Center, an organization she cofounded. She was 85. During the 1960s and ’70s, Morgan embodied and inspired historic changes in how women lived and thought. As she was happy to point out, the onetime “Ideal American Girl” was a rule breaker and justice seeker with a notable list of achievements, along with a prison record and an FBI file.
