Rebecca Solnit

Rebecca Solnit is an American writer and activist, with a diverse bibliography ranging from gender and cultural studies to travel writing, film biography and politics. A regular contributor to magazines and newspapers such as Harper’s and the Guardian, Solnit’s writing career began in the late-1980s and was intrinsically connected to her human rights activism. She has continued to be heavily involved in a number of causes, from women’s rights to climate change protests, and these themes frequently inform her writing.

Her most notable works include River of Shadows, about the early film pioneer Eadweard Muybridge and the technological transformation of the American West, A Paradise Built in Hell, concerning the communities that arise in the aftermath of natural disasters, and Men Explain Things to Me, a series of feminist essays credited with inspiring the term ‘mansplaining.’
