"This slim book—seven essays, punctuated by enigmatic, haunting paintings by Ana Teresa Fernandez—hums with power and wit."—Boston Globe

"The antidote to mansplaining."—The Stranger

"Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions."—Salon

"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."—San Francisco Chronicle Top Shelf

"Solnit [is] the perfect writer to tackle the subject: her prose style is so clear and cool."—The New Republic

"The terrain has always felt familiar, but Men Explain Things To Me is a tool that we all need in order to find something that was almost lost."—National Post

In her comic, scathing essay, "Men Explain Things to Me," Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.

This updated edition with two new essays of this national bestseller book features that now-classic essay as well as "#YesAllWomen," an essay written in response to 2014 Isla Vista killings and the grassroots movement that arose with it to end violence against women and misogyny, and the essay "Cassandra Syndrome." This book is also available in hardcover.

Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of eighteen or so books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster, including the books Men Explain Things to Me and Hope in the Dark, both also with Haymarket; a trilogy of atlases of American cities; The Faraway Nearby; A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster; A Field Guide to Getting Lost; Wanderlust: A History of Walking; and River of Shadows, Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award). A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she is a columnist at Harper's and a regular contributor to the Guardian.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This slim book — seven essays, punctuated by enigmatic, haunting paintings by Ana Teresa Fernandez — hums with power and wit."
—Boston Globe

"[Solnit's] ability to make a landscape into a text is present in every piece of writing she’s ever done, and especially here. Solnit understands that our minds are also landscapes, that they are uncharted territory and we must constantly have something left to discover within ourselves. When men explain things to me, personally, it’s like feeling someone else draw up the borders of my brain. When “men explaining things” becomes a concept, we react so strongly because it’s a map that we can use to bring us back to ourselves. The terrain has always felt familiar, but Men Explain Things To Me is a tool that we all need in order to find something that was almost lost."
—National Post

"Where opponents would argue that feminism is humorless and superfluous, Men Explain Things to Me is a compelling argument for the movement's necessary presence in contemporary society. It approaches the subject with candor and openness, furthering the conversation and opening a new Pandora's box that's apt to change the way we talk about women's rights."
—Shelf Awareness

"It is feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions."
—Salon

"A necessary read in these fraught times. Starting with the title essay, which went viral and inspired the ever-useful term “mansplaining,” Solnit writes powerfully about the ways in which power is wielded in today’s society, and brings awareness to the staggering inequalities that we wrestle with on a daily basis."
—FlavorWire

"Sharp-witted and bold... quintessential Solnit."
—Publishers Weekly, "Things We Like This Week" Blog

"Sharp narratives that illuminate and challenge the status quo of women's roles in the world. Slim in scope, but yet another good book by Solnit."
—Kirkus Reviews

"I can’t place this book as anything less than a brilliant, varied, and thoroughly enjoyable read—and definitely an addition to my list of feminist faves. With that, I urge you to get to your favorite bookshop or library and snag a copy of Men Explain Things to Me. Pull up a chair, brew something tasty, and venture into the wilderness of what a changed world might look like." —Lip

Please read this book!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is easily one of the best, most concise books on the experiences of women that I have ever read. It is not an easy read in that the subject matter is heavy, but it’s absolutely necessary for each of us to read, understand, and confront these truths if we are to better our society. It is 100% true and 100% real. Solnit does us all a public service with her writing, research, and compassion.

I recall reading one review left by a woman who took issue with the reality of mansplaining existing on a continuum of violence against women. But, denial is a river in Egypt. I understand that it may be uncomfortable for some people to hear these things, both men and women, but IMO it’s better to live in reality than to find comfortable ways of denying or minimizing it (which keeps us all in the same sad place)- And which, as many women know, is a game you’ll never win.

Solnit walks us through the landscape of where we are today with gender inequality with great attention, detail, care, and deeply powerful, expertly crafted prose.

A great big, thank you to her, and to the women and men here who recognize the tremendous value of this book and the urgent need for change that is the call of modern feminism.

Brilliant! The title pulled me in and kept me reading this book every woman should read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

My initial reaction to seeing the title of this book was a wry smile. The title pulled me in and the smile turned to a frown and to quiet fury as I read page after page, chapter after chapter of this all-too-short series of essays.

Every woman on the planet will have multiple memories of having things over-explained, as if we’re not bright enough, human enough, or exist in our own right enough to understand. Many patronising explanations are provided by the men (and sometimes the women) in our lives whom we may be married to, or is our father, or a brother, a father-in-law, a friend, always with an underlying belief that somehow we fall short in the brains department. And besides, we’re only women.

I, like many other women, have been taught – brainwashed – into polite silence, encouraged in every way not to push back on insulting infantilising by men, or assumption of needing everything dumbed down for comprehension. And, when I push back, the response is perhaps wounded surprise, knee-jerk antagonism, angry words, all of which seem to be another way of pushing me into silence again.

In this book of essays I’ve highlighted passages I find particularly apposite as a reminder of the need to make my voice heard. Great to read again and I will be purchasing the sequel.

At times graphic, Solnit uses reality to drive home the point of inequality between how men and women are treated. Mansplaining, rape culture and #yesallwomen are just a few of the topics discussed.

Some Thoughts On/For Conservative Readers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my brother-in-law shortly after my sister gave birth to a daughter. I thought it would be a fun “Hey, you have a daughter, this might be a good thing to start thinking about”-type gift. And so he didn’t feel totally alone while reading it, I bought myself a copy as well.

Solnit is clearly a powerful mind and talented writer. Her prose is strong and forceful, and she writes with stirring— at times contagious—- conviction. The book’s most powerful essays (“Men Explain Things To Me” and “#YesAllWomen”) are intelligent, clear-sighted looks at a massive, difficult, dangerous topic. It’s saddens me to applaud Solnit for her courage in writing this, if only because that acknowledges the typical backlash against women who speak out against misogyny, but she IS courageous and that alone warrants commendation.

The book starts out with a funny, almost playful anecdote about being mansplained to by a pompous idiot at a party in Aspen, but then quickly moves into darker waters. Solnit goes on to use politics, art, history and new media as springboards for discussing the interconnectedness of cultural misogyny and how mansplaining and rape can be viewed as existing on a continuum. Towards the end of the book she summarizes this nicely: “It’s a slippery slope. That’s why we need to address the slope, rather than compartmentalizing the varieties of misogyny and dealing with them separately.” (p. 134) It’s a new way of looking at an ancient problem, articulated in a way that I don’t think I’ve heard before, and Solnit rounds out her case by anticipating counter arguments (i.e. men being falsely imprisoned for rape) and responding to them to the degree that they deserve.

So here’s the part where I complain: While her arguments are culturally important and her writing is strong, Solnit’s rhetoric seems, at times, deliberately hyperbolic and meant to divide readers. On pg. 57 she describes the case of Ariel Castro, a man accused of imprisoning, torturing and sexually abusing three women as being “a vicious version of the traditional [marriage] arrangement.” Later on in the book (p. 153) she takes a similar swipe at capitalism: “There’s more that we need to be liberated from… a system that serves environmental destruction and limitless consumption…” And beyond that there’s a general celebration of revolution, (non-violent) anarchy, as well as Solnit’s insistence that this is, indeed, “a war.” In other words, if you’re traditional / conservative / old-fashioned, then chances are you’re probably going to feel pretty alienated while reading this, if not all out attacked. I don’t consider myself conservative, but there were still times when I felt myself getting defensive. With that said, I was less annoyed with this on ideological terms than I was by what felt like a tactical mis-step. Simply put: This is a wise book. This is an important book. A lot of people should be reading it and absorbing it's message. And I could suddenly feel thousands of readers— good people who’s minds are ready to be expanded— fleeing from it’s very positive message, because they were being lumped in with rapists and murderers. I was frustrated because I felt like the book was preaching to the choir and, in-so-doing, entrenching conservatives deeper into their current belief systems.

One could argue that this book isn't intended to convert and so it's unfair to judge it by those standards; that it’s a celebration and reminder of what’s already been accomplished in the fight for gender equality, and that now it’s up to someone else to write the gentler, more palatable book that eases The Other Side into progressive thinking. And you know what— that may very well be the case. In the meantime, I encourage conservative thinkers who are interested in reading this to do so with an open mind instead of just looking for things to disagree with. Because the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of what’s discussed in this book really has nothing to do with superficial left / right politics and everything to do with how we want our nieces/daughters to be treated as they grow up in the world. And that feels like something we can all agree on.

Best non fiction book of the year

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

Besides from this book having an absolutely beautiful cover, this book is an absolute gem in itself! It is short and a quick read but a really important one. I learned so much about this book – it is about so much more than ‘mansplaining’. It talks about male violence to each other and to women. Did you know that the world-wide leading cause of death in women aged 15 – 44 years is male violence? That’s over war, disease, cancer and traffic accidents! Did you know that in most parts of the US a male rapist has more rights than his victim and can even sue them over abortions or for custody? Rebecca raises SO many important questions in this book and I came away angry but more informed.

This is a great book filled with facts and important issues that affect all of us. Rebecca Solnit is a force to be reckoned with. Is there anything she can't write about brilliantly?

Short, but a very efficient read!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

i had my doubts about this book based on how short it was, but i’m pretty sure that was the point. This really is an amazing read, which provides several essays and statistics on women’s experiences with injustice in the hands of our male counterparts. This discourse of injustice is dissected into many different subject matters including rape, SA, violence, and brutality in the hands of infamous politicians/well-known reputable people and other notorious people.
This book also very much takes a firm grasp on the topic of feminism. But most importantly, this book stresses out the severity of the lengths women go to avoid all of these predicaments and our feelings and attitudes towards being subjected to this torment in our entire lifetime. How the system IS NOT put in place to benefit us at all in the slightest.
But it shines some appreciation on how far we as a society have come, to slowly and slowly get rights and get more people on board with abolishing all things bad about it.
The reason i give this book 4 out of 5 stars is because of how heavy and deep the conversation of sexual assault and violence was. I do advise looking into trigger warnings before reading this book, but overall it was such an amazing read!! it is a really good intermediate feminist book.
I WOULD DEFINITELY READ IT AGAIN

‘A Vindication of the Rights of Women’ for the Twenty-First Century

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have adored Rebecca Solnit’s writing since I found her wonderful book exploring an activity almost all of us do, or have done, and take for granted, though some of us have a passion for it – walking. Her book Wanderlust, A History of Walking showed what a fine, broad, interesting mind she has, exploring the biology and evolution of walking, the development of walking for pleasure instead of necessity, cultural attitudes to walking, the sexual politics of walking, walking as resistance and political action, and much much more.

So I knew I was going to be absorbed, educated, enlightened angered and amused by Men Explain Things To Me and Other Essays, a collection of investigations into various aspects of the relationship between men and women, and into the workings of a society which has clearly shown of late how far we still have to go

In the first, title essay, Solnit looks at ‘mansplaining’ though she doesn’t use the term , with a laugh-and-wince encounter with someone who clearly was all mouth and no ears.

The Longest War explores the dark subject of rape.

“We have an abundance of rape and violence against women in this country and on this Earth, though it’s almost never treated as a civil rights or human rights issue, or a crisis, or even a pattern. Violence doesn’t have a race, a class, a religion, or a nationality, but it does have a gender”

Worlds collide in a Luxury Suite takes the issue of power and domination into the relationship between capitalism, the IMF, and the way the developing world has been exploited and held back. She links this story with the personal one of Dominique Strauss-Kahn formerly head of the IMF, and the African chambermaid he was charged with assaulting

In Praise of the Threat looks at the changing history of marriage, and how same-sex marriage, without the historic inequalities of marriage between the sexes, metaphysically may make for a recognition that a marriage should be between equals. Which is not what marriage has traditionally been.

Grandmother Spider examines the invisibility of women within much genealogy. Look at the Bible, as example. All those begats, almost all men. Where are the daughters in the list, where the mothers?

“Fathers have sons and grandsons and so the lineage goes, with the name passed on; the tree branches, and the longer it goes on the more people are missing: sisters, aunts, mothers, grandmothers, great-grand-mothers, a vast population made to disappear on paper and in history”

Woolf’s Darkness is a celebration of Virginia Woolf, and her willingness to face the darkness – her own and the world’s, and to engage with the mysteriousness of life, and the not-knowing. This is probably the most poetic of the essays. By which I mean that it takes the reader, by flash of unknown and surprising juxtapositions, as poetry does, into seeing the non-linear nature of our lives

“We know less when we erroneously think we know than when we recognise that we don’t. Sometimes I think these pretences at authoritative knowledge are failures of language: the language of bold assertion is simpler, less taxing, than the language of nuance and ambiguity and speculation”

Pandora’s Box and the Volunteer Police Force is a celebration of feminism, which, as Solnit points out is not just about changing women’s lives for the better. We (men and women) are on a journey here

“Feminism is an endeavour to change something very old, widespread, and deeply rooted in many, perhaps most, cultures around the world, Innumerable institutions, and most households on Earth – and in our minds, where it all begins and end”

“I think the future of something we may no longer call feminism must include a deeper inquiry into men. Feminism sought and seeks to change the whole human world; many men are on board with the project, but how it benefits men, and in what ways the status quo damages men as well, could bear far more thought”

Thought provoking, articulate, beautifully written; thoroughly recommended

Susan Stepney

beautifully written with verve, and passion, and rage

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

The first essay in this little book starts with Solnit's now-famous anecdote about a man explaining her own book to her. The term “mansplaining” was subsequently invented by another author, and so we now have a name with which to skewer this kind of behaviour.

After the light-hearted tone used for telling this anecdote (albeit with more than a hint of gritted teeth), the essay rapidly gets darker and more serious. The whole book is a short series of essays covering various aspects of patriarchy: from mansplaining, to rape culture; from why same sex marriage equality does indeed threaten “traditional”, that is, grossly unequal, marriage, to the obliteration of women's voices; from arguing with Susan Sontag arguing with Virginia Woolf, to the history of women's movement.

All this is beautifully written with verve, and passion, and rage, and makes for excellent, but uncomfortable, reading.
