‘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

When first published, this book earned Dworkin the epithet, "Man Hater". She was, unfortunately, cancelled. Her analysis of how baked in misogyny is throughout most human cultures was not as widely accepted as it is now. This book reminds us that a strong commitment to feminism is vital to overcome institutional woman hating, especially as it has rebounded with a serious vengeance in the past decade. An important seminal work and a good read as well.
