Critics’ reviews

Praise for this book

"There's a new feminist revolution - open to people of all genders - brewing right now and Rebecca Solnit is one of its most powerful, not to mention beguiling, voices."
-Barbara Ehrenreich

"These short, incisive essays that pack a powerful punch."
-Publishers Weekly

"A keen and timely commentary on gender and feminism. Solnit's voice is calm, clear, and unapologetic; each essay balances a warm wit with confident, thoughtful analysis, resulting in a collection that is as enjoyable and accessible as it is incisive."
-Booklist

"A thought-provoking and important anthology."
-Library Journal

"Trenchant and hopeful, the book reveals that the ongoing work of righting the wrongs of patriarchy is only part of a much larger project of social justice for all people. As always, Solnit is eloquent and sharply insightful."
