Andrea Dworkin

Andrea Dworkin

Feminism exists so that no woman ever has to face her abuser in isolation, alone.
Andrea Dworkin
We as women know that there are no disembodied processes that all history originates in human flesh that all oppression is inflicted by the body of one against the body of another that all social change is built on the bone and muscle, and out of the flesh and blood, of human creators.
