Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant
Autor Andrea Dworkinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2002 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Always
innovative,
often
provocative,
and
frequently
polarizing,
Andrea
Dworkin
has
carved
out
a
unique
position
as
one
of
the
women's
movement's
most
influential
figures,
from
the
early
days
of
consciousness-raising
to
the
"post-feminist"
present.
Heartbreak
reveals
for
the
first
time
the
personal
side
of
Dworkin's
lifelong
journey
as
an
activist
and
a
writer.
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.
Throughout,
Dworkin
displays
a
writer's
genius
for
expressing
emotional
truth
and
an
intellectual's
gift
for
conveying
the
excitement
of
ideas
and
words.
Beautifully
written
and
surprisingly
intimate,
Heartbreak
is
a
portrait
of
a
soul,
and
a
mind,
in
the
making.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'This final, short book, is the unfolding development of a life and a mind. It reminds us that she was never primarily a political activist, but a writer and, to herself, a scholar ... Since she died last year, a victim of her enormous size, I have come to think that Andrea Dworkin was more important than I thought at the time. Linda Grant, The Jewish Quarterly
'Heartbreak confirms that every bolshy, out-spoken freedom fighter who is the anti-type of standard Western glamour, fast becomes a scapegoat for the hatred of unpopular and hard-to-sell ideas; such as feminism.' The Crack Magazine
'... explosive ... uncompromising courage ... you could not get a voice more intensely alive - in its analysis of inequities which bind and divide women across race and class, its incisive accounts of oppression and the costs of resistance, its eloquent love of creativity, and its take-no-prisoners truth-telling.' Times Literary Supplement
Heartbreak is not the memoir of a victim. Dworkin's tone is dry and humorous. Her personality is warm and likeable and, shockingly, she has a wicked sense of humour. If Dworkin had not come into prominence, first as a victim of rape and later as a campaigner against it, she might even be taking her place alongside Fay Weldon and Margaret Atwood. The Times
'pleasingly bathetic - her persecutors are finally reduced to their proper size.' Charlotte Raven, New Statesman
Always innovative, often provocative, and frequently polarizing, Andrea Dworkin carved out a unique position as one of the women's movement's most influential figures, from the early days of consciousness-raising to the "post-feminist" present. She wrote thirteen books, ranging across feminist theory, fiction and poetry. Andrea Dworkin died in April 2005.

Recenzii
'Andrea Dworkin's contentious reputation is a perfect example of media manipulation. This collection of memoirs, published to commemorate the first anniversary of her death, confirms that every bolshy, out-spoken freedom-fighter who is the anti-type of standard Western glamour, fast becomes a scapegoat for the hatred of unpopular and hard-to-sell ideas; such as feminism.' The Crack, 1 July 2006
'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
'...Ultimately, it's a heart-healing journey of redemption and realization.'
'...The story of a deeply committed human being willing to challenge injustice where she sees it...In our deeply conformist age, Dworkin provides a model of conscience in action that should inspire everyone of any stripe to look, to listen, to think.'
'Heartbreak ... is her last completed book. In it, her great, passionate voice lives on.'
'the title [Heartbreak] might even be enough to keep it out of the gender studies section of any bookshop. Rather, it will be placed with all the other memoirs of victimised women. Heartbreak is not the memoir of a victim. Dworkin's tone is dry and humorous. Her persomality is warm and likeable and, shockingly, she has a wicked sense of humour.'
'you could not get a voice more intensely alive - in its analysis of inequities which bind and divide women across race and class, its incisive accounts of oppression and the costs of resistance, its eloquent love of creativity, and its take-no-prisioners truth-telling.'
