Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit
4.0
I like Solnit a lot as a person. She exults in the power and exactitude of ambiguity, of aimlessness, just like I do, and her writing style shows it -- it glides, sentence by sentence, thought by thought, her arguments accruing force as they grow. She is very convincing. Her feminism is absolutely gospel. She is passionate, honest, and relatable.
Sometimes the essays felt like speeches, long soliloquies made up of very powerful and powerfully-arranged facts, but it came off like she was standing on a stage with a megaphone shouting at an audience of people as they all nodded their heads.
