![]() ![]() Married in 1969 to Cornelius (Iwan) Dirk de Bruin, a Dutch political activist, Dworkin lived in Amsterdam before fleeing her abusive husband in 1971, and publishing Woman Hating (1974), and Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics (1976). She later made headlines, publicizing her brutal treatment at the hands of staff, which led to a grand jury investigation of the prison. A 1968 graduate of Bennington College, Dworkin was arrested in 1965 in New York City for protesting against the Vietnam war, and spent four days in the Women's House of Detention. Author, critic, lesbian, and radical feminist, Andrea Dworkin (1946-2005) was born in Camden, New Jersey, the daughter of Sylvia (Spiegel) and Harry Dworkin. ![]()
