Where do you think you are? In America? Some men believe its a pain in the ass for women to want equal rights. Hell, my mama raised five kids on her own after my drunken, abusive father left. He broke her nose twice and nearly killed me. She didn't have time to think about being a feminist. She was just a poor woman trying to survive in our society.

A day after the September 11, 2001 attacks, feminist writer Robin Morgan sent out this letter from her home in Greenwich Village, NYC not far from where the Twin Towers had once stood.
On this anniversary of the attacks, we thought it appropriate to republish her original letter. We also recommend her book The Demon Lover, which is one of the best explanations of terrorism available.
