Scapegoat: The Jews, Israel, and Women's Liberation is a 2000 book by the Jewish-American radical feminist author and activist Andrea Dworkin.

Thesis

Dworkin begins with an analysis of antisemitism and misogyny in world history, making a comparison between the persecution of Jews and the oppression of women.[1] She discusses the sexual politics of Jewish identity and antisemitism, and called for the establishment of a women's homeland as a response to the oppression of women, just as the Zionist movement had established a state for Jews.[2][3][4]
