Description

Dworkin's seminal debut which argued that a deep-rooted hatred of women reigned society for centuries - and still governs us today 'This book is an action, a political action where revolution is the goal' Andrea Dworkin's blazing, prophetic debut argued that a deep-rooted hatred of women has been ingrained in society for centuries - and still governs us today. From fairy tales to erotic novels to witch-burnings, she uncovers the ways in which male violence and oppression have been normalized throughout history, and points the way to liberation. 'To see where we are going we must understand where we have been. Woman Hating is a much needed and long overdue addition toward that understanding' Audre Lorde 'A singularly powerful voice ... Dworkin gave definitive expression to the radical feminist tenet that sexual domination was the beating heart of patriarchy' Amia Srinivasan, LRB
