A landmark, searing critique of pornography that condemns how culture consumes and manipulates images of women and eroticises male dominance

‘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

Praise for Pornography

Bold, courageous and erudite... It is in Pornography that Dworkin’s exploration of male power is most fully formed and convincing

Prospect

She is a genius: her words leap from the page into 2025 and demand we expect more... Andrea Dworkin, this flawed, abhorred, ruthless woman bellows down the decades to shock us out of our stupor; you’d be a fool not to listen

UnHerd

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
