from Rebecca Solnit’s Recollections

From Rebecca Solnit’s Recollections of my Non Existence “To be a young woman is to face your annihilation in innumerable ways ….” (p4) “I was often unaware of what and why I was resisting ….” (p4) Yes.  Let’s not understate the value of having words for what we experience.  The words ‘sexism’ and ‘misogyny’ didn’t …
