Reading and conversation

Rebecca Solnit

When men know everything better

4.07.2018
Start: 20:00
Old Botanical Garden

Reading and conversation with the famous feminist US author and activist who anticipated and still fuels the #MeToo debate with her books.

Rebecca Solnit's book Men Explain Things to Me caused a worldwide furor and coined the term mansplaining. She astutely analyzes the male arrogance that makes communication between men and women difficult. In doing so, she exposes abuses that are usually not even recognized as such because assaults on women are accepted, considered normal.

In her new book The Mother of All Questions (2017), Rebecca Solnit continues her exploration of today's gender relations with bite, comedy, and stylistic elegance.
