A good collection of essays highlighting woman's place in the world, the war to quiet women and the power of ideas. Solnit doesn't bash men; she writes persuasively that equality is good for all of us, and we all have work to do in fighting gender stereotypes and confronting violence against women. Hundreds of years of women essentially being their fathers' or husbands' property doesn't leave societal consciousness immediately--changing views about gender issues and civil rights takes many lifetimes. We can't stop speaking up.
