Woman Hating by Andrea Dworkin

5.0

This, I believe, is Dworkin's first published work, and wow, what a piece of work it is.  Dworkin writes in a hugely accessible way, ensuring that readers of all kinds can understand what she means, not only in terms of her writing, but in the diagrams she chooses to show as well.  Her evidence is compelling, and the history she provides is horrifying.  I know that in some feminist circles Dworkin is more detested than revered, but I honestly can't see how after reading this.  In my humble opinion, she's absolutely correct, spot on, one-hundred-percent right about everything she discusses.  There's not one point she made that I disagreed with, and there were various points in her book where I laughed, cried, and held my hand over my mouth in pure shock.  This book, I believe, should be on every feminist's basic reading syllabus.  It will not disappoint.
