emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is so much more complex and interesting of a book than I thought it would be. I sort of assumed it was going to be a snarky social experiment, but it’s a deep reflection on the violence and subjugation of women and the social and cultural impacts of that with stunningly beautiful writing.

A collection of thought-provoking, varied essays. First I've read of Rebecca Solnit's work but will now be exploring some of her other books.
