Women's Media Center Live with Robin Morgan

With her Manhattan studio offline after the historic Hurricane Sandy, Robin ventures into the storm-battered streets of NYC in search of power and the Internet to host a very special and somewhat irregular pre-election show—and the result is her Letter from Ground Zero #4. Guests include pollster Celinda Lake on the women’s vote; University of Arizona College Republicans VP Zoey Kotzambasis on bei...

Robin takes on willful ignorance, and speaks with "Sex and World Peace" author Valerie Hudson; and sexploitation survivor Rachel Lloyd. Journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault talks about her career and the state of the world; members of Ingoma Nshya, a women's drumming troupe formed by Rwandan genocide survivors, plays; and Dr. Marianne Legato explains the new science of gender-specific medicine.

Robin spotlights the courage of international teen girl activists, the failed promise of the once-novel idea of 24-hour cable news, and the history and impact of the word "ms." Guests are Maysoun Odeh, founder of the first women's FM radio station in Palestine; Aishah Shahidah Simmons on her "NO! The Rape Documentary," and on the life and legacy of Audre Lorde; Ellie Smeal on the 40th anniversary...

Robin hosts a special show on sex trafficking, and speaks with Jessica Neuwirth of Equality Now; Ruchira Gupta, an activist who rescues girls in India; and Kathleen Barry, author of Female Sexual Slavery and the UN Convention on Traffick. An extended "Fighting Words" features Robin's satirical "modest proposal" to resolve the problem of sex trafficking, once and for all.

Robin examines the true history and legacy of Columbus Day, fact-checks the notion of "The End of Men," and speaks with Adora Svitak about the Girls' State of the Union; Paula DiPerna on Mrs. Columbus; Muscogee Creek poet Joy Harjo; and Cherokee economist Rebecca Adamson.

Robin explains why WMC Live’s move to a new day and time on CBS is a homecoming to a previous life and career, and speaks with columnist Connie Schultz about Ohio as the front line of fair voting; California Representative Barbara Lee on the Congressional Black Caucus and women; and actress, activist, author, and Women's Media Center co-founder Jane Fonda on sex, intimacy, age, health—and furnishi...

Egyptian-American journalist Mona Eltahawy was arrested yesterday for allegedly defacing a controversial ad in a Times Square subway station. During her last interview prior to her arrest, she spoke passionately with Robin about anti-Muslim sentiment and the fight for justice and freedom. (The show aired on Sunday, September 23, 2012. We are now making available Mona's interview as a stand-alone d...

Robin discusses the Mars Curiosity rover and gender in space, and speaks with Patti Chang of the Feed the Hunger Foundation on the topic of philanthropy for women; Shelby Knox, young feminist organizer, on the topics of online organizing and media myths on young feminism and women's equality; and Mona Eltahawy, Egyptian-American journalist and women's rights advocate, on sexual harassment in Egypt...

Robin discusses myths and spin from the right on why unions must be destroyed and why teachers are the enemy, and speaks with Ellen Snortland, women's and girls' self-defense advocate and author of the book Beauty Bites Beast; Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago teachers' union whose members will vote today on whether to end their strike; Lynn Povich, author of Good Girls Revolt, a former senior...

Robin discusses personhood, as it applies to corporations and embryos—but not quite so much to women, Native Americans, or African-American slaves of the antebellum American South—and finds in the Constitution a perplexing suggestion that the taxes one pays (or doesn't) may be deeply linked to whether, or how much, a person is a person. Robin's guests are Cristina Azocar, director of the Center fo...

Robin talks about the Republican National Convention, and speaks with El Diario-La Prensa Executive Editor Erica González about Latina politics; Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton on the upcoming Democratic convention; CodePink co-founder and co-director Jodie Evans about demonstrating at both conventions; and author and New Yorker staff writer Ariel Levy about Naomi Wolf's new book.

Robin celebrates Women's Equality Day with the launch of WMC Live, and explains what The Women's Media Center is and how it came to be. Her guests are Emma Axelrod, a teen activist from New Jersey, who helped get the first female moderator of a presidential debate in 20 years; Melanie Campbell, president of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, talking about black voter suppression;...
