Imagine being this good at writing. Solnit is the writer I dream of being but lack the eloquence and clarity of thought to be. I’ve read many collections of work by Rebecca Solnit and this latest series of essays is hands-down my favourite.

If you weren’t mad about the state of the world before, you sure will be after reading this. Solnit is at her best when discussing gender and feminist themes like the #MeToo movement, giving voice to our shared global outrage. I always come away from her work seething, looking for ways I can further dismantle the patriarchy.

My one criticism is that I’d like to see more intersectionality with Solnit’s work. While she touches on issues of race and sexuality, she rarely delves deeper. She focuses on her perspective as a feminist, cis-het white woman which doesn’t serve or represent the oppression of Black women in particular and women of colour.
