Reviews
-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."
