![]() ![]() ![]() Andrea Dworkin: saw censorship as an answer to women's oppression I first read Dworkin's book Pornography: men possessing women many years ago and because of her death I had another read of it. Much of my knowledge regarding Andrea Dworkin is around the pornography debate and which I will mainly focus on. I rejected Dworkin's brand of feminism and became a member of Feminists Against Censorship in the early 1990s. Well, this one certainly doesn't, went my reply! It is strange writing an obituary of one sort or another for a feminist I opposed politically. What did Andrea Dworkin do for women? "Pornography is becoming the contemporary mechanism for controlling women, and it is a control that is exercised through sheer terror" - Andrea DworkinĪ feminist friend once said to me some years ago that all feminists admire Andrea Dworkin.

It means knowing one’s mob and speaking their language, or never knowing your ancestors or what language they spoke. It means growing up on Country, but also being a city kid. ![]() It means growing up surrounded by family, but it also means being removed from kin. There is no one definition of growing up Aboriginal. There are poems, essays and letters, and they offer varied – and sometimes conflicting – perspectives on what it means to grow up Aboriginal in Australia.

It's a really weird story where frat boys act like mob bosses. ![]() To be honest, I wasn't really sure what the authors were going to do with the story. Like, oh my God, why am I reading this? And, why do I want more? And, what kind of literary cocaine did the authors inject into this book to even make me like a story that has so many tropes I hate? I don't like reverse harem and I don't like caveman alpha heroes, I don't particularly like crime/mafia stories, and I hate stories that fetishize virginity/purity, so the fact that this book had all of those elements and I still enjoyed reading it made me feel like I should call shenanigans.Īnd yet, here I am.

Gregory believably depicts this mostly forgotten queen, her moody husband, and the future Henry VIII, shown here as a charmingly temperamental child. Elizabeth must navigate the treacherous waters of marriage, maternity, and mutiny in an age better at betrayal than childbirth. ![]() ![]() The royal pair produces an heir and two spares but mistrust continues to abound, particularly between the two mothers-in-law, who are seemingly determined to fight the Wars of the Roses down to the last petal. As Gregory envisions her, narrator Elizabeth of York-sister to the princes imprisoned in the Tower, mother of Henry VIII, grandmother of Elizabeth I-still loves the vanquished Richard III when she dutifully marries his triumphant challenger, Henry VII. In Gregory’s fifth entry in the Cousins’ War series, marriage unites the upstart House of Tudor with its long-time enemies, the declining House of York, to rule over volatile 1485 England. ![]() |
