- _Women_Against_Censorship_
- Edited by Varda Burstyn
- Douglas & McIntyre Limited, 1985
-
-
- "The book is a collection of essays by various feminists who are
- opposed to censorship and to the anti-pornography movement represented
- by Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon. The women who have
- contributed essays to the book have in common only their devotion to
- feminism and their opposition to censorship. They state reasons for
- opposition which come from several different viewpoints. If you have
- an interest in opposing the public control of ideas, in whatever form
- it might take, I highly recommend the book."
