Rebecca Solnit is quickly becoming one of my favourite writers, she writes so beautifully about some of the ugliest topics, and I just want to hear her thoughts on literally anything.

It definitely needs a TW for rape and sexual abuse!
Other than that, it is quite interesting, but offers very little new information to people who are already interested in feminism and gender equality.

God this book dragged.  There's also some islamaphobic comments I can't ignore.  I think in general I need to remove a lot of these outdated works from my tbr.  A lot of what's being said has been said better by others in my opinion.  Sometimes the essays didn't even seem to have much of a coherent thought or point.  Also major trigger warning in the first essay.  It felt like the author was relying on shock value.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking. Several of the essays illuminated ever more clearly how misogyny continues to feed many of today’s news stories, from America’s horrific gun culture to the despicable coverage of the Depp-Heard trial. Some references are a bit outdated or should be reconsidered in light of new evidence/understanding, however.
