Narrative During Books Intercourse

Andrea Dworkin, once called “Feminism’s Malcolm X,” has been worshipped, reviled, criticized, and analyzed-but never ignored. The power of her writing, the passion of her ideals, and the ferocity of her intellect have spurred the arguments and activism of two generations of feminists. Now the book that she’s best known for-in which she provoked the argument that ultimately split apart the feminist movement-is being reissued for the young women and men of the twenty-first century. Intercourse enraged as many readers as it inspired when it was first published in 1987. In it, Dworkin argues that in a male supremacist society, sex between men and women constitutes a central part of women’s subordination to men. (This argument was quickly-and falsely-simplified to “all sex is rape” in the public arena, adding fire to Dworkin’s already radical persona.) In her introduction to this twentieth-anniversary edition of Intercourse, Ariel Levy, the author of Female Chauvinist Pigs, discusses the circumstances of Dworkin’s untimely death in the spring of 2005, and the enormous impact of her life and work. Dworkin’s argument, she points out, is the stickiest question of feminism: Can a woman fight the power when he shares her bed?

Assessment Regarding Books Intercourse

"Intercourse" is a feminist classic and is Andrea Dworkin's most notorious book. The book came to save me in the time I needed it the most.Unlike Millett's "Sexual Politics", "Intercourse" is a bitter realisation that we women would never possess an equal status with men in regard to our sexual activities. Dworkin argued why female inferiority in terms of sex inheres in the nature of coitus itself, which makes every relationship we have with men unequal to begin with. From what I concluded, it

This book opened my eyes and introduced me to the idea of literary criticism. It's safe to say it was one of the most influential books I have ever read.

Anyone who hates Dworkin should at least give this book a chance before forming an intractable opinion.Merging feminist literary criticism with political polemic, Intercourse lays out a psycho-social-political analysis of heterosexual fucking, with chapters on Possession, Dirt, Law, Stigma, Virginity, Repulsion and Communion. Dworkin uses historical and literary texts to explore the meanings intercourse has for women and men, the ways in which women internalise male dominance through sex, the

This book is a series of thought-provoking questions, ones I wish I could have read when I was much younger (excerpts of it would have done me well in Sex Ed). Radical, unapologetic, and bold, the first half of the book is mainly literary criticism (which was fascinating, but the writing is a bit disjointed for my taste), while the latter half is an absorbing political analysis. I found the last two chapters especially captivating, especially the last few pages of Occupation/Collaboration.

Honestly, reading this book reminded me of looking at modern art or eating at one of those restaurants that puts half a grape and a squirt of ketchup on a giant plate, calling it cuisine. Everyone knows it's splattered paint and half a grape, but everyone pretends it's fine art and cuisine in order to show society they are smarter and more cultured than the average Joe. This book is, quite frankly, drivel. I was expecting social commentary. Instead, I found mostly literary criticism. But, not

After waiting too long and expecting too much, I was thoroughly disappointed to find this book is extremely limited in any ideological benefit to my perspectives, filled with problems, and lacking in any solutions. While I will keep it and my edits/highlights as a form of reference for specific matters, I can say that this book suggests I'm better off writing my own perspective rather than expecting enlightenment from others.While Dworkin has some powerful wordplay in describing her thesis, she
