Woman Hating

<''This book is an action, a political action where revolution is the goal''

Andrea Dworkin''s blazing, prophetic debut argued that a deep-rooted hatred of women has been ingrained in society for centuries - and still governs us today. From fairy tales to erotic novels to witch-burnings, she uncovers the ways in which male violence and oppression have been normalized throughout history, and points the way to liberation.

''A singularly powerful voice ... Dworkin [gave] definitive expression to the radical feminist tenet that sexual domination was the beating heart of patriarchy'' Amia Srinivasan, LRB<>
