Without Apology illuminates the politics and artistic practices of Andrea Dworkin, arguably one of the most daring, innovative, and controversial feminists in the United States.
This is the first ever book-length analysis of Dworkin's feminist politics and the first critical analysis to examine her controversial political ideas in light of the literary dimensions of her prose. Cindy Jenefsky, with Ann Russo, looks at Dworkin's major nonfiction works - including Woman Hating; Pornography: Men Possessing Women, and Intercourse - in terms of the rhetorical dynamics animating her political ideas.
Also included within this analysis are Jenefsky's lengthy interviews with Dworkin, which focus on her identity as an artist and on the artistic principles guiding her work.
The result is a novel reinterpretation of Dworkin's politics and a clear analysis of the political nature of artistic practice for readers interested in literary and rhetorical criticism, feminist theory and activism, the volatile debates over pornography and civil rights, and the relationship between contemporary sexual practices and male power systems.
