Woman Hating

Paperback

Price: $19.00

Overview

Reissued with a bold, modern package, Andrea Dworkin’s debut book Woman Hating argues that a deep-rooted hatred of women in history, art, politics, and beyond has reigned–and influenced and formed culture–for centuries.

A classic work in the canon of radical feminist thinking, Andrea Dworkin’s 1974 debut Woman Hating is a stunning exploration of how women, and the idea of women, have been treated through the centuries. From fairy tales to erotic novels to medieval witch burnings, Dworkin uncovers the ways in which a rhetoric of hate and violence against women has been historically normalized, leading to a history of degradation, mutilation, and even killing.

Reviews

"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

"This book is fast, pure, and angry. Just reading the chapter on foot-binding or the Story of O could turn a reader into a revolutionary." –GLORIA STEINEM

"The book premiered the provocative style that endeared Dworkin to many radical feminists while alienating women who prioritized civility . . . [It] reveals the extent to which Dworkin's critique was systemic from the beginning, rooted as much in race and economics as gender." –JEREMY LYBARGER, Boston Review

"[Dworkin] is bright, entertaining and incisive when she is dissecting the roles available to men and women as articulated in fairy tales, Christian myths and contemporary pornography." –Kirkus Reviews
