Author and activist Andrea Dworkin talked about her latest book, Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant, published by Basic Books. Ms. Dworkin described her evolution from youthful devotee of music and books to campaigner against pornography and prostitution and international advocate for women. She talked about her self-imposed exile in Crete where she taught herself to write. After discovering the works of early second-wave feminists, Ms. Dworkin had vowed to “give my life to the movement.” The Radcliffe Institute’s Schlesinger Library recently acquired Ms. Dworkin’s personal papers.
