Why read it?
1 author picked Intercourse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A figurehead of radical feminism and courter of much controversy, Dworkin is another writer whose work is having a resurgence lately—and for good reason. A healthy blend of scholarly and disturbing (my personal sweet spot), I’d recommend most of her books, but this one is a great place to start.
It is an in-depth examination of the power dynamics that underpin heterosexual relationships. It’s a wonderfully uncomfortable read. Dworkin is nothing if not thought-provoking; she is unafraid to pose difficult questions, and for that, I adore her.
From Brittany's list on brutally capture how shitty it is to be a woman.
