Woman Hating

About “Woman Hating”

Andrea Dworkin's book explores the portrayal of women in fairy tales and pornography, analyzing works such as the French erotic novels Story of O and The Image, as well as the magazine Suck. She also examines historical practices like Chinese foot binding and Medieval European witch burning through a radical feminist lens. The final section of the book investigates the concept of androgyny in creation myths across cultures, advocating for a new kind of human being and community that is free from traditional gender roles and identities. Dworkin's analysis challenges societal norms and calls for a redefinition of human relationships and identities.
