Susie Bright wrote a really great eulogy here. They may not have agreed politically, but there was respect nonetheless. Anyway, I thought you might appreciate it.

thank you for posting the links and reminding me why i spent so much time so very very angry when i was first learning about feminism. i think sometimes it’s easier to dismiss people like Dworkin (believe the distortions, marginalize her as ‘extreme’) than it is to really listen to her words and hear the truth in them. there is so much pain in her vision, and sometimes, if it’s at all possible for you, it’s easier to pretend that this vision of women’s experience in the world is just her damage rather than a shared reality.

That makes me so sad! Dworkin was an amazing writer and thinker. I’m sorry I never wrote her fan mail while she was alive. Whenever I hear people mention her I tell them to read her very challenging books instead of believing the media hype about her.
