En este conjunto de ensayos mordaces y oportunos sobre la persistente desigualdad entre mujeres y hombres y la violencia basada en el género, Solnit cita su experiencia personal y otros ejemplos reales de cómo los hombres muestran una autoridad que no se han ganado, mientras que las mujeres han sido educadas para aceptar esa realidad sin cuestionarla. La autora narra la experiencia que vivió durante una cena en la que un desconocido sepuso a hablarle acerca de un libro increíble que había leído, ignorando el hecho de que ella misma lo había escrito, a pesar de que se lo hicieron saber al principio de la conversación. Al final resultó que ni siquiera había leído el libro, sino una reseña del New York Times.

El término mansplaining conjuga man («hombre») y explaining («explica»), en alusión a este fenómeno: cuando un hombre explica algo a una mujer, lo hace de manera condescendiente, porque, con independencia de cuánto sepa sobre el tema, siempre asume que sabe más que ella. El concepto tiene su mayor expresión en aquellas situaciones en las que el hombre sabe poco y la mujer, por el contrario, es la «experta» en el tema, algo que, para la soberbia del primero, es irrelevante: él tiene algo que explicar y eso es lo único que importa.

About the Author:
Escritora, historiadora, activista, editora y colaboradora de la revista Harpers, donde escribe regularmente la sección «Easy Chair», Rebecca Solnit ha escrito sobre una amplia variedad de temas, incluyendo el medio-ambiente, la política y el arte. Desde los años ochenta ha trabajado en numerosas campañas de derechos humanos —como el Proyecto de Defensa de Western Shoshone a principios de los noventa, que describe en su libro Savage Dreams— y con activistas contra la guerra durante la era Bush.

Entre sus libros más conocidos destaca Un paraíso construido en el infierno, en el que da cuenta de las extraordinarias comunidades que surgen tras ciertos desastres como el del huracán Katrina, un hecho que ya había analizado en su ensayo «Los usos de desastres: notas sobre el mal tiempo y el buen gobierno», publica-do por Harpers el mismo día que el huracán golpeaba la costa del Golfo. En una conversación con la cineasta Astra Taylor para la revista Bomb, Solnit resumía así el tema de su libro: «Lo que ocurre en los desastres de-muestra el triunfo de la sociedad civil y el fracaso de la autoridad institucional». Solnit ha recibido dos becas NEA de Literatura, una beca Guggenheim, una beca Lannan y en 2004 el Wired Rave Award por escribir sobre los efectos de la tecnología en las artes y las humanidades. En 2010 Reader Magazine la nombró como «una de las 25 visionarias que están cambiando el mundo».
Review:
This slim book — seven essays, punctuated by enigmatic, haunting paintings by Ana Teresa Fernandez — hums with power and wit."
—Boston Globe

"The Antidote to Mansplaining."
—The Stranger

"Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions."
—Salon

"Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society."
—San Francisco Chronicle Top Shelf

"Solnit [is] the perfect writer to tackle the subject: Her prose style is so clear and cool."
—The New Republic

"The terrain has always felt familiar, but Men Explain Things To Me is a tool that we all need in order to find something that was almost lost."
—National Post

"Where opponents would argue that feminism is humorless and superfluous, Men Explain Things to Me is a compelling argument for the movement's necessary presence in contemporary society. It approaches the subject with candor and openness, furthering the conversation and opening a new Pandora's box that's apt to change the way we talk about women's rights."
—Shelf Awareness

"Solnit’s intimate understanding of how the twin bulwarks of language and silence fuel political agendas is only part of what makes her writing so exciting. The other essays in the collection complement the first (some are even stronger), but theirs is the poetic correlation of masterful storytelling. Ultimately Solnit’s interdisciplinary, patchwork narratives are drawn together by a single theme: hope."
—The Baffler

"An engaging primer on the realities of mansplaining."
—Bitch Magazine

"Solnit’s pull-no-punches observations... make this a valuable contribution to feminist theory."
—The Indypendent

"A riveting collection of feminist essays."
—Chicagoist

"A necessary read in these fraught times. Starting with the title essay, which went viral and inspired the ever-useful term “mansplaining,” Solnit writes powerfully about the ways in which power is wielded in today’s society, and brings awareness to the staggering inequalities that we wrestle with on a daily basis."
— FlavorWire

"A brilliant, varied, and thoroughly enjoyable read—and definitely an addition to my list of feminist faves."
—Lip Magazine

"Sharp-witted and bold... quintessential Solnit."
—Publishers Weekly

"Sharp narratives that illuminate and challenge the status quo of women's roles in the world. Slim in scope, but yet another good book by Solnit."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Fantastic" —Amanda Palmer
