Men Explain Things to Me

Book • 2014
This book, published in 2014, features seven essays that delve into the experiences of women being silenced, ignored, and debased.

The title essay, 'Men Explain Things to Me,' recounts Solnit's personal experience at a dinner party where a man condescendingly explains her own book to her.

The collection also includes essays like '#YesAllWomen' and 'Cassandra Syndrome,' addressing broader issues such as violence against women, misogyny, and the global implications of patriarchal societies.

The book is illustrated by visual and performance artist Ana Teresa Fernández and combines humor, personal anecdotes, and statistical facts to highlight the pervasive nature of gender inequality.
