Episode 14 - Woman Hating - Andrea Dworkin
Update: 2020-12-20
Description
Our first season ends with Woman Hating by Andrea Dworkin. She is particularly famous for her consistent stance against pornography but in this book she starts by laying out the fundamental flaw in assuming any real progress in the rights of women. She shows, through analysis of fairy tales and pornography, that the ways in which we understand gender roles are highly limited to patriarchal and abusive systems of control. A highly controversial figure, she makes a fitting finale to our first season. We also read a few reviews.
