Life and Death Paperback - 1997
by Andrea Dworkin
Fifteen years ago, Dworkin raised her inimitable voice against misogyny and found her way into the canon of American political philosophy, establishing herself as one of the country's most explosive and trenchant social critics. This collection brings together Dworkin's most important essays, speeches, and sharp commentary on current events, from the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson to the atrocities committed against Bosnian women in Serbian death camps.
First line
I come from Camden, New Jersey, a cold, hard, corrupt city, and-now having been plundered by politicians, some of whom are in jail-also destitute.
From the rear cover
A collection of her most incisive essays and unpublished speeches, Life and Death makes it clear why Dworkin has found her place in the canon of modern political thought. She begins here with a poignant autobiographical piece, in which she recounts with rare tenderness her childhood in Camden, New Jersey, her political odyssey, and the crushing pain of her brother's death. Lending her hand to tragic current events, or what she calls "emergencies", like the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, the Hedda Nussbaum child abuse case, and the mass murder of female students at a college in Montreal, Dworkin makes clear in her inimitable way the obvious things we stubbornly fail to notice. Finally, she guides us back to the core issues at stake in women's lives - pornography, domestic violence, rape, and prostitution - and reminds us that even after decades of feminist so-called progress, gender is an ongoing war.
