Intercourse
Andrea Dworkin
A groundbreaking feminist book, Intercourse sparked heated debates and inspired activism when it was first published in 1987. In it, the author argues that in a male-dominated society, sex between men and women is a tool of oppression. The book's provocative message earned its author the nickname "Feminism's Malcolm X." This 20th-anniversary edition has been reissued for a new generation to contemplate Dworkin's idea that women's sexuality is central to their subordination to men. The author's stance may be controversial, but her ferocious intellect and passionate ideals make it impossible to ignore her words.

The whole range of arguments in that book is quite radical and complex and beautiful. It’s the first book I’ve read by an author, masculine or feminine, that has a defiance of the situation, which is deeply subversive in the holy sense – it’s other-worldly. – source
