Pornography - Men Possessing Women

<''Pornography is the orchestrated destruction of women''s bodies and souls ... it is war on women''

Pornography, Andrea Dworkin argued in this landmark work, is about power: the power of owning, of money, of sex. It is not merely violence against women, but the essential DNA of male dominance. As images of women''s bodies continue to be manipulated and consumed, her searing, fearless critique of pornographic media is more urgent and discomfiting than ever.

''A major text for our time'' Adrienne Rich

''Dworkin writes with power, anger, daring - and from a great care and love of womankind'' Alice Walker

''The woman who showed us the dark core of pornography, the punishing hatred of women that pervades it'' Guardian<>

Relazione

Unnervingly prescient... If her first book, Woman Hating, and the later Pornography: Men Possessing Women, speak to a culture that has only grown the more violently misogynistic since they were published - their arguments have new urgency in a world of "incels" and 24/7 porn Guardian
