is needed now More than ever
The celebrated writer, Rebecca Solnit, returns to Bristol to talk about her new essay collection The Mother of All Questions.
Her 2014 publication, Men Explain Things to Me, received global acclaim has become a contemporary feminist classic for its intelligence and new thinking.
In her latest book she “points the way towards a new feminism, writing with great thoughtfulness about rape jokes and gender roles; about reproductive choices and the silence of complicity; about the questions women are asked and the narratives they are given. Solnit’s writing brings together breathtaking vision and great imagination and this – coupled with a keen sense of injustice – makes her a writer essential for these times.”
