She co-founded The Women's Media Center in 2005 along with Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem.

"Every topic--including sex, politics, and religion-that your parents told you was unfit for polite dinner-table conversation gets engaged regularly on the show," observes Robin Morgan, "plus music and poetry and laughter and audacity, and that tidbit of fact or news you can hear nowhere else--which you can then cheerfully use to lord it over your friends."
