The Mother of All Questions

Another one of those books that people should read but only the people who already know these things read them.

The first essays of the book were AMAZING. But I got to the Lolita one and was sadly disappointed. Solnit is an incredible feminist writer though, and these essays were powerful and extremely well-written.

Same as its predecessor “Men Explain Things To Me” this is a great collection of essays - on rape culture, stereotyping, discrimination, silencing, hate crimes,... - that's only a bit weakened because of the repetition of certain stories/references across the essays.
