ANDREA DWORKIN DIES

In so many ways this woman affected my life. Love her, hate her, agree with her, disagree with her, she gave a generation of feminists more to think about than many would have thought possible. Regardless of how I feel about her today, I will always love her for the challenges she presented to me in defining my own feminism and the impact she will have on feminism for all times. Thanks, the world will miss you.

P.S. Thank you for the nice email regarding the passing of my father. I appreciate your thoughtfulness :)
