Overview

With a new foreword by Moira Donegan, this long-awaited reissue of Dworkin's iconic study of women in American conservatism is paired with a bold, modern package to match Dworkin's visionary perspective and style. Andrea Dworkin wrote Right-Wing Women in 1983-a crucial and deeply illuminating analysis of the right's position on abortion, homosexuality, antisemitism, female poverty, and antifeminism. Forty years later, the book feels more vibrant, clear-eyed, and visionary than ever, especially as these issues get relitigated in both legal and public forums. In addition to her revelatory and nuanced portraits of figures like Anita Bryant and Phyllis Schlafly, and an examination of the roots of a distinctly woman-led brand of American conservatism, Right-Wing Women will give readers the thrill of rediscovering the force and elegance of Dworkin's arguments and her skill as one of our most adept and prophetic feminist thinkers.

Reviews

""Bracing to read. . . 'Right-Wing Women, ' like the rest of her work, is suffused with Dworkin's uncanny mix of hard-nosed realism and wild-eyed idealism. For all her radical commitments, she still contained multitudes, and she expected the same of the women's movement. The solidarity she envisioned was expansive, as well as difficult: 'Every woman's fate is tied to the fate of women whom she politically and morally abhors.'"" --Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
