Recollections of My Nonexistence: A Memoir by Rebecca Solnit
4.0
Absolutely love this cover photo of Solnit as a teen. I have not read enough of her work, but her "Men Explain Things To Me" has had a huge impact on me and so many others, this has been on my TRB since it was released in 2020 and I am sad I am just getting to it, I got to the last page and immediately knew I needed to order a copy so I could read again with a highlighter. She is exactly the intersectional feminist I strive to be, so aware ?
The only comment I have on the writings is she spends a good portion of the book talking about street harassment and the dangers of walking at night, which she continues to do, but she never mentions that statistically you are more likely to be harmed by people you know. I always think this is something to reflect on when we talk about male violence - physical or verbal.
