_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."
