Book 64 of my 2022 Reading Challenge
Men Explain Things to Me
by Rebecca Solnit
5 stars
Published in 2014, Men Explain Things to Me is a collection of essays with a theme of violence against women running throughout. I wish it didn't read as though it could've been written in 2022; substituting more current names and situations would be the only changes needed.
I read this in one sitting but it's a book I will also revisit and share with those around me.
Quote from the Book
"Most women fight wars on two fronts, one for whatever the putative topic is and one simply for the right to speak, to have ideas, to be acknowledged to be in possession of facts and truths, to have value, to be a human being."
