"Andrea Dworkin died in 2005. She was an active radical feminist up until the time of her death, though her fervor did dwindle toward the end of her life. Dworkin is best known for her crusade against pornography begun in the 1980s and her body of writing that argue that any sexualization of women is a gender power play that relegates women to a secondary status in society."
