Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit
While a physically slim volume, Men Explain Things to Me packs a punch. This collection of essays, while thematically linked, cover a range of topics from the casual sexism of mansplaining to the horrific crimes of violence against women to the history of terms, phrases, and even ideas surrounding feminism and its progression.
Though reading it in present-day presents some problems, such as wincing at Solnit's determination that Roe would not be overturned, it remains validating, eye-opening, and a rallying cry. This is vital reading for people of all genders.
