Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin (Semiotext(e) / Native Agents)

Synopsis

Radical Feminist Author Andrea Dworkin Was A Caricature Of The Manhater In The Popular Imagination As Well As A Polarizing Figure Within The Women's Movement, Infamous For Her Antipornography Stance In The 1970s And 1980s. Now, More Than A Decade After Her Death, This Timely Collection Of Her Writing Showcases The Prescience Of Her Analyses: Of The Genocidal Character Of Sexual Violence; Of The Devastating Nihilism Of White Male Supremacy, And Of The Toll It Takes--especially On Those Who Resist. This Rediscovery Of Dworkin's Work Will Serve As A Flashpoint For Crucial Feminist Conversations Today. Why Is The Cost Of Speaking Out Against Abuse And Inequality Still So High? Why Is The Problematic Work Of Brilliant Women Forced Into Oblivion, When That Of Flawed Great Men Is Embraced? What Can We Learn From The Bitter Divisions And Discarded Ideas Of Previous Generations?--page 4 Of Cover.
