I Want a Twenty-Four-Hour Truce During Which There Is No Rape: An Excerpt from ‘Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin’

In honor of Women’s History Month, we are featuring an adapted excerpt from ‘Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin,’ edited by Johanna Fateman and Amy Scholder, which brings together selections from the late Andrea Dworkin’s work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she’s best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. Warning: This excerpt contains strong language and some sexual thematic themes around rape and rape culture which may be triggering to readers.
