It contains a great mix of pieces from across her career including, my personal favourite, the blistering, “I Want a Twenty-Four-Hour Truce During Which There Is No Rape” ― an address to a room of 500 men: The recent reassessment of Dworkin’s work has, in part, been prompted by the release of a new collection, titled Last Days at Hot Slit. And, today, when radical feminist analysis is shunned in the academy, and radical feminist activists are increasingly no-platformed from public events, it is perplexing to find the work of such a prominent radical feminist thinker being reconsidered in relatively positive terms. So it makes perfect sense that Dworkin’s work is seen as especially apt, given she spent the best part of her life fighting white-supremacist, capitalist patriarchy.īut the vision of revolutionary change that Dworkin so passionately advocated for was largely derided ― including by other, usually liberal or libertarian, feminists ― while she was alive. The patriarchal nature of right-wing authoritarianism is troubling political analysts. Misogynoir, and the intersections of racism and sexism, are hot topics in pop culture. The #MeToo movement and men’s violence against women are making international headlines.

This rediscovery of Dworkin's work will serve as a flashpoint for crucial feminist conversations today.With feminism back in fashion, perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising to see Andrea Dworkin’s name being bandied about again. Now, more than a decade after her death, this timely collection of her writing showcases the prescience of her analyses: of the genocidal character of sexual violence of the devastating nihilism of white male supremacy, and of the toll it takes-especially on those who resist.
