Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant


Yes, my copy of Andrea's memoir has finally arrived! I am considering a formal post, for my thoughts after the book is completed, but so far this book has been raw, honest and sometimes, surprising. This book, like her others, is incredibly inspiring to read - her writing is beautiful.

 Unfortunately, this book cannot be found in most mega-book stores like Indigo, but yet are purchasable as "used and rare" on their website. 

Thus far the book has been difficult to put down and in reading it, I have learned so much about Andrea's life that I would have never imagined or assumed. So many have  taken to distorting Andrea Dworkin's character  her ideas, but this memoir tears those misrepresentations to shreds. 

So, read it! 




(also, found a free copy of Susan Faludi's Backlash...!!)

  3. I know- they like to portray her as a monster and a *gasp* a man-hater. It's so unfair & completely untrue.

    Her writings can also be found online for free here: http://www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin/OnlineLibrary.html
