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, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.
The updated edition of this national bestseller features that now-classic essay with 8 others, including "#YesAllWomen," a response to the 2014 Isla Vista killings and the grassroots movement that arose in response to confront violence against women and misogyny.
