Description

A collection of feminist essays steeped in ';Solnit's unapologetically observant and truth-speaking voice on toxic, violent masculinity' (The Los Angeles Review).

In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers sharp commentary on women who refuse to be silenced, misogynistic violence, the fragile masculinity of the literary canon, the gender binary, the recent history of rape jokes, and much more.

In characteristic style, ';Solnit draw[s] anecdotes of female indignity or male aggression from history, social media, literature, popular culture, and the news... The main essay in the book is about the various ways that women are silenced, and Solnit focuses upon the power of storytellingthe way that who gets to speak, and about what, shapes how a society understands itself and what it expects from its members. The Mother of All Questions poses the thesis that telling women's stories to the world will change the way that the world treats women, and it sets out to tell as many of those stories as possible' (The New Yorker).

';There's a new feminist revolutionopen to people of all gendersbrewing right now and Rebecca Solnit is one of its most powerful, not to mention beguiling, voices.'Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Timesbestselling author of Natural Causes

';Short, incisive essays that pack a powerful punch.' Publishers Weekly

';A keen and timely commentary on gender and feminism. Solnit's voice is calm, clear, and unapologetic; each essay balances a warm wit with confident, thoughtful analysis, resulting in a collection that is as enjoyable and accessible as it is incisive.' Booklist
