Description

Book Synopsis: Andrea Dworkin, once called "Feminism's Malcolm X," has been worshipped, reviled, criticized, and analyzed-but never ignored. The power of her writing, the passion of her ideals, and the ferocity of her intellect have spurred the arguments and activism of two generations of feminists. Now the book that she's best known for-in which she provoked the argument that ultimately split apart the feminist movement-is being reissued for the young women and men of the twenty-first century. Intercourse enraged as many readers as it inspired when it was first published in 1987. In it, Dworkin argues that in a male supremacist society, sex between men and women constitutes a central part of women's subordination to men. (This argument was quickly-and falsely-simplified to "all sex is rape" in the public arena, adding fire to Dworkin's already radical persona.) In her introduction to this twentieth-anniversary edition of Intercourse, Ariel Levy, the author of Female Chauvinist Pigs, discusses the circumstances of Dworkin's untimely death in the spring of 2005, and the enormous impact of her life and work. Dworkin's argument, she points out, is the stickiest question of feminism: Can a woman fight the power when he shares her bed? Read more

Introducing the powerful and thought-provoking book, "Intercourse" by Andrea Dworkin. This timeless piece of literature, once described as "Feminism's Malcolm X," captures the essence of feminism like no other. Its reissue for the twenty-first century is an opportunity for the young women and men of today to delve into the profound insights and fierce intellect that have shaped generations of feminists.

When "Intercourse" was first published in 1987, it ignited a firestorm, both captivating and challenging readers. Dworkin's argument, in this groundbreaking work, sheds light on the existence of a male supremacist society where sex between men and women becomes a mechanism of women's oppression by men. Although unfairly misrepresented as "all sex is rape" in public discourse, Dworkin's ideas continue to remain relevant and thought-provoking.

In this twentieth-anniversary edition, Ariel Levy, the author of "Female Chauvinist Pigs," provides an insightful introduction, paying homage to Dworkin's untimely death in 2005 and highlighting the lasting impact of her life and work. Dworkin's central question remains as compelling today as ever: how can a woman fight against the power structures when they are present even in her own relationships?

Unlock the wisdom of the past and ignite conversations that challenge societal norms by immersing yourself in the pages of "Intercourse."
