Right-Wing Women

With a new foreword by Moira Donegan, this long-awaited reissue of Right-Wing Women revives Andrea Dworkin’s groundbreaking exploration of women’s roles in American conservatism. Originally published in 1983, Dworkin’s incisive analysis of the right’s stance on abortion, homosexuality, antisemitism, female poverty, and antifeminism remains as urgent and revelatory as ever. As these battles continue to shape today’s political landscape, Right-Wing Women offers a prescient look at the forces that drive women to support movements that often work against their own interests. Through sharp portraits of figures like Anita Bryant and Phyllis Schlafly, Dworkin dissects the complexities of female participation in conservative politics, reaffirming her status as one of feminism’s most prophetic and unflinching voices.
