Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit

“That’s her book,” Solnit’s friend keeps trying to say.

While there, they are cornered by the older, wealthy host, and, after Solnit mentions that she has written a book on the photographer Eadweard Muybridge, subjected to a grandiose lecture about a “very important” Muybridge book that has just been published. In a now-storied anecdote, Rebecca Solnit and her friend go to a party at an Aspen chalet. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she is a columnist at Harper's and a regular contributor to the Guardian.Rebecca Solnit can be most persuasive not when dispensing feminist credos but when she is studying the fine grain of intimate experience. Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of eighteen or so books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster, including the books Men Explain Things to Me and Hope in the Dark, both also with Haymarket a trilogy of atlases of American cities The Faraway Nearby A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster A Field Guide to Getting Lost Wanderlust: A History of Walking and River of Shadows, Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award). This book is also available in hardcover.

This updated edition with two new essays of this national bestseller book features that now-classic essay as well as #YesAllWomen, an essay written in response to 2014 Isla Vista killings and the grassroots movement that arose with it to end violence against women and misogyny, and the essay Cassandra Syndrome.

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. In her comic, scathing essay, Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women.
