Woman Hating





Dworkin’s seminal debut which argued that a deep-rooted hatred of women reigned society for centuries – and still governs us today

‘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.

‘To see where we are going we must understand where we have been. Woman Hating is a much needed and long overdue addition toward that understanding’ Audre Lorde

‘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

Praise for Woman Hating

Bold, courageous and erudite... the fierce feminist prophet we need to counter the masculine Maga madness that’s hurtling us ever-faster towards our own demise

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
