The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit
5.0

"There is no good answer to being a woman; the art may instead lie in how we refuse the question." This is a really excellent collection of contemporary feminist thought and Solnit's writing is always lovely. The title essay has become something of a personal manifesto for my entry into middle age and I've re-read it many times since it was published in Harper's.
