Omschrijving
A collection of essays on feminism, from one of the most important and original public intellectuals writing today
What has always impressed me in Solnit's writing is the simple cadence and timbre of a sentence, a paragraph, the way a whole essay lilts and skips. She is not one of the most important female essayists of her generation. She is one of the most important essayists of her generation. Incendiary, indignant, and true
[A] trenchant collection of essays... an eloquent reminder that we still have some way to go when it comes to speaking of the issues Solnit raises
Stark and powerful prose... Solnit is a compelling writer with a glorious turn of phrase
[These essays] are the thin edge of a continuum that reaches from the opening anecdote to the rape and murder statistics that she deploys to such devastating effect. Solnit's book does what the best feminist writing does: it makes me angry. And it makes me believe we can, and we must, fight for change
Exceptional... The feminist debate has once again exploded into the mainstream over the last few years, and this collection marks Solnit out as among the most thoughtful of many energetic writers leading it
Essays on feminism from the consistently wonderful author of The Faraway Nearby. Anything she writes is a must-read
Solnit is a brilliant essayist... A highly enjoyable and thought-provoking read
A necessary read... Solnit writes powerfully
Essential reading for anyone - feminist or not, male or female - who wants to fight for equality across all fronts
The essays fiercely confront crime against women... Solnit has a voice of fearless and provocative asperity; she launches a quiverful of aphoristic arrows
A revolt championing the cause of women... [Solnit's] work feels both timeless and timely. She argues persuasively, is often funny and is articulate to a fault... [her] writing is its own victory and revolt. An incendiary, inquiring and important work
Essential reading for anyone - feminist or not, male or female
The most clarifying, soothing and socially aware document I've read on the topic this year. Not to mention funny
REBECCA SOLNIT is author of, among other books, Wanderlust, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, the NBCC award-winning River of Shadows and A Paradise Built in Hell. A contributing editor to Harper's, she writes regularly for the London Review of Books and the Los Angeles Times. She lives in San Francisco.
