Inspired By Andrea -- Essays on Lust, Aggression, Porn, and The Female Gaze

Over the past month, I received a number of inquires about my past writing on the subject of Andrea Dworkin's philosophies.

I decided to collect and edit all my work in one tidy PDF booklet, which I've titled: Inspired By Andrea: Essays on Lust, Aggression, Porn, & The Female Gaze That I Might Not Have Written If Not for Her

The Table of Contents:

The Baffling Case of Andrea Dworkin
Spankful
Story of O Birthday Party
Are Women Making Porn Movies?
As Porn As We Wanna Be
Lesbian Lowdown
The Prime of Miss Kitty MacKinnon
Introduction to Nothing But The Girl: The Blatant Lesbian Image
Dyke
Cunt
Soaking Feminism 
Vargas Girls: Susie’s Vargas in Drag, & Andrea’s Blonde Sambos 
Andrea Dworkin Has Died

These are essays and stories I've written from the mid-80s to today, originally published in books, magazines, newsletters, and web sites.

You can order a PDF copy from me for $9.00, sent to sueb@well.com via Paypal

Then, follow up with an email to me giving me the email address you'd like me to send your PDF copy to.

You can also send me a personal check to: Susie Bright, POB 8377, Santa Cruz, CA 95061. Please include the email address you'd like me to send your PDF copy of the book.

Some of the pieces are scholarly; others were written as consumer advice; some were popular features in counterculture and mainstream media.

There are cites for each story.

I think you will find it to be everything you ever wanted to know on the topic from the sex-posi-feminist-pornographer side of the tracks, and a very good introduction to the "other side" as well.

This is a PDF document. I will send it to you by email attachment. It's 143 pages, in an easy-to-read format, with one b/w photo. It is a not a paper book, although of course you can print it out yourself. I am not supplying paper copies. Note that it is copyrighted material; it cannot be reprinted or distributed without permission.  Writers do not live on soapboxes alone.

After you've read it, I would welcome your thoughtful feedback in the Comments area. Thank you so much for all your interest... I've been very moved to reread these stories and think about all that has happened in the past thirty years since this conversation began.
