La madre de todas las preguntas

Solnit offers us a new and indispensable repertoire of essays that analyze different questions such as why the history of silence is inextricably linked to the history of women, or why five-year-old children prefer to do without pink toys. She also writes about men who are feminists and men who are rapists, avoiding any kind of stereotypical thinking. In this new collection of texts, Solnit continues her exploration of current gender relations with her usual cunning and humor. The Mother of All Questions is an important and encouraging book from the decidedly feminist perspective of the author of Men Tell Me Things, about and for all who question gender identities and advocate for a freer world. Her writings, loaded with intelligence and strength, speak of the right not to respond to what we do not want, of the silence imposed on women for centuries, of women who refuse to be silenced, of rape and misogynistic violence, or even of male referents in the western literary canon, from a gender perspective.
