Some soiling and sticker residue to DJ. Andrea Rita Dworkin (September 26, 1946 - April 9, 2005) was a US radical feminist philosopher, activist, and writer. She is best known for her analysis of pornography, although her feminist writings, beginning in 1974, span 40 years. They are found in a dozen solo works: nine books of non-fiction, two novels, and a collection of short stories. The central theme of Dworkin's work is re-evaluating Western society, culture, and politics. She does this through the prism of men's sexual violence against women in a patriarchal context. She wrote on a wide range of topics including the lives of Joan of Arc, Margaret Papandreou, and Nicole Brown Simpson; she analyzed the literature of Charlotte Brontë, Jean Rhys, Leo Tolstoy, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, and Isaac Bashevis Singer; she brought her own radical feminist perspective to her examination of subjects historically written or described from men's point of view, including fairy tales, homosexuality, lesbianism, virginity, antisemitism, the State of Israel, biological superiority, and racism. She interrogated premises underlying concepts such freedom of the press and civil liberties. While alive, two books were written with consideration and analysis of the body of her work. Andrea Dworkin, by Jeremy Mark Robinson, first published in 1994, and Without Apology: Andrea Dworkin's Art and Politics, by Cindy Jenefsky in 1998. An anthology of her work, Last Days at Hot Slit, was published in 2019. More

A Samuel and Althea Stroum Book. Name of previous owner present. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Henry Friedman was robbed of his adolescence by the monstrous evil that annihilated millions of European Jews and changed forever the lives of those who survived. Like many other survivors, Henry Friedman has found it difficult to confront his past, but he has also felt the obligation to bear witness. Now retired, he devotes much of his time to telling his story, which he believes is a message of hope, to schoolchildren throughout the Pacific Northwest. In I'm No Hero, he confronts with unblinking honesty the pain, the shame, and the bizarre comedy of his passage to adulthood. He has received national recognition for his recollections. More
