[Rebecca Solnit ]-[Recollections of My Nonexistence]-[Hardcover]

Beyond being a memoir, Solnit's book is also a passionate that women are not just impacted by personal experience, but by membership in a society where violence against women pervades. Looking back, she describes how she came to recognize that her own experiences of harassment and menace were inseparable from the systemic problem of who has a voice, or rather who is heard and respected and who is silenced--and how she was galvanized to use her own voice for change.
