Heartbreak: The Political Manifesto of a Feminist Militant - Tapa dura

"'Dworkin appears before us, ravaged and thundering like one of Shakespeare's Plantagenet queens, to deliver her fearsome maledictions...one of the few remaining specimens of pure counterculture Romanticism' New York Times Book Review"

Published to coincide with the first anniversary of Dworkin's death, "Heartbreak" reveals for the first time the personal side of Andrea Dworkin's journey as an activist, writer, and one of the women's movement's most influential figures. By turns wry, spirited, and poignant, Dworkin tells the story of how she evolved from a childhood lover of music and books into a college activist, embraced her role as an international advocate for women, and emerged as a maverick thinker at odds with both the liberal left and the mainstream women's movement. Beautifully written and surprisingly intimate, "Heartbreak" is a portrait of a soul, and a mind, in the making.
