Two words this time: Kick. Ass.
A few more: Solnit doesn't hold back in this collection of essays. She presents her arguments in such a way that I felt as though she brought me back to the same little place I found myself when I first had to learn what all this meant for me and the world. Her essay on Virginia Woolf is so brilliant I re-read it 6 times. Also the design nerd in me swoons over the excellence of this cover
Here's a taste: "Having the right to show up and speak are basic to survival, to dignity, and to liberty. I am grateful that, after an ealy life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless"
