I continue to appreciate Solnit’s straight-forward writing. She has a way of putting into words so many things I know and am challenged to articulate. I especially loved her critical essay on Woolf and Sontag.
Here's my "man explaining" moment. Not really an explanation per se, but a time when I felt marginalized because of my gender. Training group at my gym. Next exercise in rotation is a sledgehammer slam (slamming it against a huge tire). Three people in my group: me, a female friend, and a man. Three sledgehammers: two of one weight and another that is heavier. I end up with the heavier sledgehammer. Man says to me, "Do you want me to use that one?" My friend says that he asked out of politeness. My interpretation was, "Hey, little lady, I don't think you can handle that heavy sledgehammer." I told him no and proceeded to whack that tire as hard as I would. :)

Un libro que habla sobre el hablar de las mujeres.
Las dos son revisiones históricas y anecdóticas del desacreditamiento de la voz de las mujeres en la esfera pública.
Me parecen textos adecuados y que en menos de 100 páginas introducen el planteamiento problema aún vigente en la actualidad.

(4.5) I really enjoyed the ideas presented in this collection. There was a bit in the middle where references to other texts kind of took over the dialogue but this didn’t significantly affect the rest of the experience. Overall quite insightful.

A solid, accessible collection of entry-level feminism. Solnit clearly lays out her logic and approaches everything with an abundance of grace. It reminds me of classic "consciousness raising" in a way, and I think is most beneficial for people who haven't actively engaged with these concepts as much.
Personally, I had hoped for a little more than 101, and I was disappointed by the lack of direct acknowledgement of things like race, sexuality, class, etc. It's still a good book, though.
