Description

Andrea Dworkin: A Radical Life This biography provides a vital reassessment of the life and work of Andrea Dworkin, a towering figure of second-wave feminism. Based on exclusive access to her archives, including never-before-published photographs and letters, Martin Duberman offers a complex and nuanced portrait of a brilliant writer, philosopher, and activist. Dworkin's life was marked by both personal struggle and public activism, from her abusive first marriage to her central role in the sex and pornography wars of the following decades. This biography sheds new light on her ideas and their enduring relevance, particularly in the context of the #MeToo movement. A perfect complement to the widely reviewed anthology of her writing, Last Days at Hot Slit, this biography offers a long overdue reassessment of Dworkin's life and work.
