lattelibrarian's review
5.0
This was a fantastic compilation filled with some essays that I'd previously read via ILL, and some essays that I hadn't! Many were never published in the United States prior to this collection, and some were essays that had never been published in the first place.
She discusses pornography, censorship, rape, male violence, in ways which are pressing, poignant, and overall determined. It's an incredible collection that is hugely powerful and made me ready and wanting to change the world. And men. Mostly men. Definitely worth the read, especially if you're diving into Dworkin's works for the first time. It will not disappoint.

Made me think and generally reconsider my position on pornography. I'm half glad she didn't have to live to see the most horrid, degrading kinds of pornography so easily accessible to practically everyone in the world.

Andrea Dworkin is one of the most poignant and thrilling non-fiction writers you can have the pleasure to read. This collection of articles and speeches is a must, and I think a great introduction to Dworkin's work. However, if you have read some of her books (like Intercourse, Pornography, or Woman Hating), this compilation doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table and might feel a bit repetitive at times.

Her words cut threw my heart. Brutally honest collection of essays for feminists.

min första bok av Dworkin, vill läsa fler! många bra texter i denna, ibland lite väl mycket upprepning. tror detta är en bra introduktion innan man läser andra verk av henne.
