Andrea Dworkin
To be rapeable, a position that is social, not biological, defines what a woman is.

Andrea Dworkin
Feminist art may... though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme... should we call it 'joy'?
Andrea Dworkin
In my own life, I don't have intercourse. That is my choice.
Andrea Dworkin
The argument between wives and whores is an old one each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other.
Andrea Dworkin
We must refuse to submit to those institutions which are by definition sexist - marriage, the nuclear family, religions built on the myth of feminine evil.
Andrea Dworkin
Families make possible the super-exploitation of women by training them to look upon their work outside the home as peripheral to their 'true' role.
Andrea Dworkin
