Wenn Männer mir die Welt erklären

A man bragging about his knowledge, assuming that his conversation partner has no idea anyway - every woman has experienced this situation at some time or another. Rebecca Solnit investigates the mechanisms of sexism. She uncovers grievances that are usually not recognized as such, because assaults on women are accepted as normal. She writes about the nuclear family as an institution as well as about violence against women, French sex scandals, Virginia Woolf or post-colonial power relations. Passionately, precisely and with a radically new perspective, Rebecca Solnit points out what is far from being taken for granted: the equal rights of women and men need to be raised.
