3.0

accessible, intro to feminism essays  and despite nothing new, it was still engaging. however where is the intersectionality and capitalism was mentioned on the second last page lol. Also what is going on with the ode to Virginia Woolf and Susan Sontag’s fractured relationship.

Ta książka jest napisana bardzo prosto, ale według mnie to wcale nie jest minus. Dzięki temu, przeczytałam ją prawie na raz, wciągnęłam się i nie zmęczyłam czytając, a bałam się, że tak właśnie będzie.

Rebecca przedstawia wiele trafnych spostrzeżeń, mój ulubiony esej to chyba ten o równości małżeńskiej, jest po prostu genialny.

Dzięki tej książce mam ochotę czytać więcej tego typu literatury i bardzo jestem tej książce za to wdzięczna.

Ważna pozycja, otwierająca oczy. Nie rewolucjonistyczna, nie wstrząsająca, ale nadal cholernie ważna.

littlecat's review

><there was some very overreaching bit about how veils (specifily burkas) are like the ultimate opression and the tone of it just made me put it down, all in all felt like a failure in intersectionality><

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.
