Women Hating

Book • 2025
Andrea Dworkin's 'Woman Hating' is a radical feminist analysis of misogyny in Western culture, exploring its roots in literature, folklore, and social institutions.

Dworkin argues that these cultural narratives perpetuate the oppression and dehumanization of women.

The book examines the themes of violence, power, and sexuality, revealing how they contribute to the systemic subordination of women.

Dworkin analyzes fairy tales, pornography, and other cultural artifacts to expose their misogynistic underpinnings.

Through her uncompromising and provocative analysis, Dworkin challenges readers to confront the pervasive nature of woman-hating in society, advocating for a fundamental transformation of patriarchal structures.
