The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit
4.0
“There is no good answer to how to be a woman; the art may instead lie in how we refuse the question.”
Rebecca Solnits writing is important; Witty, educational and analytical.
I enjoyed her book, Men Explain Things to Me, which I first read when I was about 18. It was one of the first books I had read on feminism that gave a language to explain my own experience as a woman. As other reviewers have pointed out, much of her ideas in this book were similar to the last and some of the essays in this book were a bit repetitive but, when treated as their own individual writings I found no problem with that. Everyone should read her essays, A Short History of Silence, The Pigeonholes When the Doves have Flown and Men Explain Lolita to Me.
