On Women by Susan Sontag
3.0
2.5/3 stars ⭐️
the first half of the book is really great. i found sontag a bit hard to read (no pun intended) at times as she would write about such a deeply relevant feminine experience but then follow it up with a statement that could be interpreted as internalised resentment towards the before mentioned feminine experience/women/feminists in general. however, her critiques are often valid and thought provoking. ‘on women’ probably isn’t her best work but i really look forward to diving into more of her essays :)
