Customer Reviews

Excellent book by a creative and thoughtful writer

I’m a big fan of Rebecca Solnit and love to read at the intersections of the topics she likes to write ✍️ This is quite and relatable read that is as validating as it is inspiring.

Great!

Well written, great information, and a great voice. There are many stories in this book that will be very easy to connect with. I don’t want to give anything away, but each essay has great detail and even historical research that really resonates with our current political climate. When we devalúe women, we hurt all of society.
