Men Explain Things To Me
$15
Rebecca Solnit’s comic, scathing essay, “Men Explain Things to Me,” went viral and inspired the word mansplaining. She took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. This updated edition with two new essays of this national bestseller features that now-classic essay as well as “#YesAllWomen,” written in response to the 2014 Isla Vista killings and the grassroots movement that arose with it to end violence against women and misogyny, and the essay “Cassandra Syndrome.” A book to have and cherish.
“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
