Andrea Dworkin was an American feminist writer and activist whose work from the 1970s onward focused on the relationship between sexuality, power, and women's oppression in society. Her influential but controversial ideas about pornography, prostitution, and male dominance shaped feminist debates for decades and continue to influence discussions about gender and sexuality today.

Quotes
- “I'm a radical feminist, not the fun kind.”
- “The nature of women's oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
- “The common erotic project of destroying women makes it possible for men to unite into a brotherhood; this project is the only firm and trustworthy groundwork for cooperation among males and all male bonding is based on it.”
- “Undernourished, intelligence becomes like the bloated belly of a starving child: swollen, filled with nothing the body can use.”
- “While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.”
- “Under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.”
