"Bracing to read. . . 'Right-Wing Women, ' like the rest of her work, is suffused with Dworkin's uncanny mix of hard-nosed realism and wild-eyed idealism. For all her radical commitments, she still contained multitudes, and she expected the same of the women's movement. The solidarity she envisioned was expansive, as well as difficult: 'Every woman's fate is tied to the fate of women whom she politically and morally abhors.'" –Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
"Erudite and audacious . . . A review that examined the gamut of sometimes surprising and always intriguing conclusions in
Right-Wing Women would have to be as long as the book itself. . . [Dworkin] strikes me as emphatically right about the two options women face. One is the withering pragmatism of compromise; the other is the wild irrationality of hope." –Becca Rothfeld,
The Washington Post
"Twenty years after Dworkin's death, feminists have few friends and little institutional power . . . With fascists on one side and quislings on the other, a militant response is overdue. Enter Dworkin, whose relentless anger and imaginative prescriptions can seem like the antidote not only to the right wing but to mainstream feminism itself, which told women that liberation ran through the Capitol and the courtroom and the corner office. Dworkin did not seek parity with men, but rather a new world altogether." –Sarah Jones,
Intelligencer "[Dworkin] was famously impassioned and unyielding in her feminist convictions, but when you read her she surprises you with the rigor of her research and argument, with the panhistorical ambition of her project, and above all with her acute, creative, painfully felt sense of empathy." –Moira Donegan,
The New York Review of Books
