A review by radwaashraf
The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit

4.0

I didn't read the author's book: Men Explain Things to Me, but I don't think you need to read it to read this one, but it's certainly a welcome addition after reading this because I enjoyed most of it.

as the cover says, these are feminist essays about a variety of topics, mainly: how women are forced to be silent, the role of men feminists, the rape joke that comedians still cling to in the name of anything can be used as material for stand up comedians, some book lists that ignore women completely when it's catered to men, mansplaining and more.

most of it wasn't new as we live that everyday, but it was articulate and sharp and biting, and i liked that about it.
