WOMAN HATING

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.

Andrea Dworkin was an American radical feminist writer and activist best known for her analysis of pornography. Her feminist writings, beginning in 1974, span thirty years. They are found in a dozen solo works: nine books of nonfiction, two novels, and a collection of short stories.
