With a new foreword by Moira Donegan, this long-awaited reissue of Dworkins iconic study of women in American conservatism is paired with a bold, modern package to match Dworkins visionary perspective and style. Andrea Dworkin wrote Right-Wing Women in 1983a crucial and deeply illuminating analysis of the rights 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 Dworkins arguments and her skill as one of our most adept and prophetic feminist thinkers.
