Andrea Dworkin, born September 26, 1946, came from a middle-class family in Camden, New Jersey.

Instead of being lionized and admired for her genius, instead of being able to earn a decent living as a writer, Andrea Dworkin was misrepresented and demonized. In the words of John Berger, she was "perhaps the most misrepresented writer in the Western world."
