The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit
3.0
informative reflective fast-paced

I enjoy Rebecca Solnit's essays but this collection has not aged well in all parts. There's references to male feminists who are now known to be abusers (Louis C.K. among others) and her feminism could be a bit more intersectional and understanding of marginalized voices like sex workers. However, this really is a collection discussing silence vs. voice and power and those themes are explored in an interesting way. A mixed bag for sure.
