Review "This slim book seven essays, punctuated by enigmatic, haunting paintings by Ana Teresa Fernandez hums with power and wit." Boston Globe "[Solnits] ability to make a landscape into a text is present in every piece of writing shes ever done, and especially here. Solnit understands that our minds are also landscapes, that they are uncharted territory and we must constantly have something left to discover within ourselves. When men explain things to me, personally, its like feeling someone else draw up the borders of my brain. When men explaining things" becomes a concept, we react so strongly because its a map that we can use to bring us back to ourselves. The terrain has always felt familiar, but Men Explain Things To Me is a tool that we all need in order to find something that was almost lost." National Post "Where opponents would argue that feminism is humorless and superfluous, Men Explain Things to Me is a compelling argument for the movements necessary presence in contemporary society. It approaches the subject with candor and openness, furthering the conversation and opening a new Pandoras box thats apt to change the way we talk about womens rights." Shelf Awareness "It is feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions." Salon "A necessary read in these fraught times. Starting with the title essay, which went viral and inspired the ever-useful term mansplaining," Solnit writes powerfully about the ways in which power is wielded in todays society, and brings awareness to the staggering inequalities that we wrestle with on a daily basis." FlavorWire "Sharp-witted and bold... quintessential Solnit." Publishers Weekly, "Things We Like This Week" Blog "Sharp narratives that illuminate and challenge the status quo of womens roles in the world. Slim in scope, but yet another good book by Solnit." Kirkus Reviews "I cant place this book as anything less than a brilliant, varied, and thoroughly enjoyable read and definitely an addition to my list of feminist faves. With that, I urge you to get to your favorite bookshop or library and snag a copy of Men Explain Things to Me. Pull up a chair, brew something tasty, and venture into the wilderness of what a changed world might look like." Lip Review Quote "In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized." --The New York Times "Essential feminist reading." --The New Republic "This slim book hums with power and wit." --Boston Globe "Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society." --San Francisco Chronicle "The antidote to mansplaining." --The Stranger "Essential." --Marketplace "Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions." --Salon Competing Titles Bad Feminist Roxanne Gay 9780062282712 15.99 Harper Perennial 2014 Description for Sales People Collection is based around an essay--Men Explain Things to Me--which was shared virally in 2008 Updated edition includes viral essay "Yes All Women" Details ISBN1642590983 Author Rebecca Solnit Pages 176 Publisher Haymarket Books Language English Year 2019 ISBN-10 1642590983 ISBN-13 9781642590982 Format Hardcover DEWEY 305.42 Imprint Haymarket Books Place of Publication Chicago Country of Publication United States Publication Date 2019-06-25 AU Release Date 2019-06-25 NZ Release Date 2019-06-25 US Release Date 2019-06-25 UK Release Date 2019-06-25 Audience General Illustrations Illustrations, unspecified We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
