Description: "With examples that range from the Inquisition, when women were targeted as witches and Jews as heretics, to the terror of the Nazis, whose aggression was both race- and gender-motivated, Dworkin illustrates how and why women and Jews have been scapegoated and compares the civil inequality, prejudices, and stereotypes that have framed identity for both groups.

Taking the state of Israel as a paradigm, Dworkin traces the growth of male dominance in societies both old and new-resulting in the subordination of women and a racial or ethnic "other.""--BOOK JACKET.
