My Name Is Andrea is the story of controversial feminist writer and public intellectual Andrea Dworkin, who offered a revolutionary analysis of male supremacy with iconoclastic flair. Decades before #MeToo, Dworkin called out the pervasiveness of sexism and rape culture, and the ways it impacts every woman's daily life.

Critic's Notebook

A smarter documentary would have analyzed her work and its impact with other people’s words as well. Because as shown in this movie, her work only affected her own life. Such a wasted opportunity.
