I think is my new favorite Solnit essay collection (or maybe it's just that every time I read Solnit it's my new favorite essay collection?)
Great essays on feminism and women's condition in the 21st century.
The first essays of the book were AMAZING. But I got to the Lolita one and was sadly disappointed. Solnit is an incredible feminist writer though, and these essays were powerful and extremely well-written.

I have the same criticism of this book as I did for Men Explain Things to Me: Some essays are exponentially stronger than others, and being a collection of essays on essentially the same topic, some very specific references to events or people appear multiple times within the same book. That said, Solnit is smart and witty and I really like her work.
read some of this for school, didn’t like it enough to finish it. I read more than 20 pages but it wasn’t in order.

Graphic: Misogyny
Well reasoned essays on modern day feminism. Gets 4 stars because they are a bit more reactive and less "high level inspirational" than "Men Explain Things to Me".
