Sisterhood is Forever is a 2003 anthology of feminist writings edited by Robin Morgan. Sisterhood is Forever has over fifty women contributing sixty original essays written specifically for this followup of Sisterhood is Powerful. Sisterhood is Forever shows the reader where feminism has been and what it had accomplished by 2003. The essayists are a diverse group, with varying ages and backgrounds. Essays range in tone from scholarly to narrative and provide both conservative and liberal veiw points. The focus is on feminism in the United States. The book addresses why feminism is still needed in the twenty-first century, providing "alarming" statistics about the status of women in the United States in Morgan's introduction.

Reception
Sisterhood is Forever was considered "multifaceted and compelling" by Publishers Weekly. Morgan's touch can clearly be seen in the book, showing a clear sense of vision through her choices of essays and her footnotes throughout. While some critics felt that focusing on the U.S. was "problematic," others felt that it made sense, especially in the wake of 9/11.
