From one of America's leading biographers, the definitive story of
the radical feminist and anti-pornography activist, based on
exclusive access to her archives Fifteen years after her death,
Andrea Dworkin remains one of the most important and challenging
figures in second-wave feminism. Although frequently relegated to
its more radical fringes, Dworkin was without doubt a formidable
and influential writer, a philosopher, and an activist-a brilliant
figure who inspired and infuriated in equal measure. Her many
detractors were eager to reduce her to the caricature of the angry,
man-hating feminist who believed that all sex was rape, and as a
result, her work has long been misunderstood. It is in recent
years, especially with the rise of the #MeToo movement, that there
has been a resurgence of interest in her ideas. This biography is
the perfect complement to the widely reviewed anthology of her
writing, Last Days at Hot Slit, published in 2019, providing
much-needed context to her work. Given exclusive access to
never-before-published photographs and archives, including her
letters to many of the major figures of second-wave feminism,
award-winning biographer Martin Duberman traces Dworkin's life,
from her abusive first marriage through her central role in the sex
and pornography wars of the following decades. This is a vital,
complex, and long overdue reassessment of the life and work of one
of the towering figures of second-wave feminism.
