Robin Morgan has died at 85, according to The New York Times. The paper describes her as a defining voice of radical feminism, whose work helped build the institutions of the modern feminist movement in the United States.

Morgan edited "Sisterhood Is Powerful," the 1970 anthology that the Times calls a landmark of the movement, gathering feminist writing that helped define its politics for a generation of readers. She went on to lead Ms. magazine, the publication that became one of the most visible platforms of American feminism.

The Times obituary does not give further detail on the circumstances of her death or on the rest of her body of work. No French translation of her writing is mentioned in the available reporting.
