The Personal is Still Political
Robin Morgan's latest book is The Word of a Woman: Feminist
Dispatches (W.W. Norton); her new collection of poems, A Hot January,
will be published by Norton in October. Morgan's Sisterhood is Powerful
anthology was one of the feminist bibles of the 1970s
New York - The Clinton impeachment crisis is long
over, but post-mortems, some book-length, have set in. This story generated
an avalanche of detail, variously attributed to omnivorous all-news-all-the-time
channels, declining journalism standards (the media now cover themselves);
a celebrity-obsessed populace more interested in gossip than substance;
a national decline in sexual morals; and "culture wars" between
Christian conservatives and immoral Generation X-ers (products of permissive
baby-boomer parenting: when in doubt, blame mothers).
