Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant by Andrea Dworkin

4.0

I loved some of the quotes I'd heard by Dworkin taken from a few of her works (particularly when used by Natalie Wynn in her discussion of JK Rowling in discussing conservative women), and thought I'd like to read about her before I read her, especially since I'd heard she was very controversial (though it seems like this might be because of her viewpoints on sex/porn, which, uh, totally understandable and yeah, I can easily see where she'd be misinterpreted whether maliciously or ignorantly). Having read this, though, I feel primed and ready to read more by her, particularly looking at reading Right-Wing Women (why do women choose to side with those who hurt them?), and Intercourse (to what degree is consensual heterosexual sex possible when there's an inherent imbalance of power due to patriarchy?)
