Men Explain Things to Me

The National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect "antidote to mansplaining" (The Stranger).

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

She writes about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.

This slim book "hums with power and wit" (Boston Globe) as Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays.

Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.
