This renowned classic and New York Times bestseller has transformed the lives of millions of readers by changing how women and men view relationships. Dr. Harriet Lerner teaches readers to respect and listen to their anger, identifying its true sources and using it as a powerful vehicle for creating lasting change. The book focuses on family relationships and shows women how to deal with various relationship issues constructively, rather than suppressing or venting anger in destructive ways.
Andrea Dworkin's "Our Blood" is a powerful and unflinching examination of the interconnectedness of violence against women, pornography, and the broader structures of patriarchy. Dworkin's work is characterized by its radical feminist perspective and its critique of male dominance. The book explores the ways in which women are systematically oppressed and subjected to violence. It challenges conventional notions of sexuality and gender. Dworkin's writing has been both influential and controversial, sparking important debates about feminism, sexuality, and social justice.
