She is the author of 12 books, including Pornography, Right-Wing Women, Woman Hating, Intercourse, and more.Unnervingly prescient... <i>Right-Wing Women</i> has plenty to say inadvertently about the devotion of Donald Trump’s female supporters, even after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him
Guardian
Dworkin is methodical and learned but, unlike so many philosophical writers, she is also humane. This shines through especially in <i>Right-Wing Women</i>
Prospect
I sorely wish I had encountered <i>Right-Wing Women</i> as a teenager. For any future daughters of my own, it will be required reading

‘Feminism is hated because women are hated’
Why do some women support Right-wing movements, even though they curtail their freedoms? Andrea Dworkin’s timeless, visionary analysis goes to the heart of this contradiction, exploring the Right’s positions on abortion, sexuality, racism and antifeminism, and showing how it attempts both to exploit and to quiet women’s deepest fears of male violence. The Right-wing woman, Dworkin contends, acquiesces to male authority for protection and some semblance of power: because ‘survival depends on it’.
