On Women: A new collection of feminist essays from the influential writer, activist and critic, Susan Sontag | Susan Sontag

2 posts | 3 read

Bringing together Susan Sontag's most fearless and incisive writing, On Women examines the oppression of women and the tools necessary for liberation. 'Sontag is one of the most influential critics of her generation' New York Review of Books First written in the 1970s during the height of second-wave feminism, Sontag's essays examine the 'biological division of labour', the double standard for ageing and the struggle for real power, topics which are strikingly relevant to our contemporary conversations. For any Sontag fan, this collection of lost essays is a revelation into her achievements as an essayist. 'One of America's greatest public intellectuals' Observer 'Susan Sontag offers enough food for thought to satisfy the most intellectual of appetites' The Times 'At the time she died, she was America's best-known public intellectual. To my mind, she was also the most exemplary' John Gray, New Statesman WITH A PREFACE BY MERVE EMRE

On Women: A new collection of feminist essays from the influential writer, activist and critic, Susan Sontag | Susan Sontag

The first responsibility of a ‘liberated‘ woman is to lead the fullest, freest, and most imaginative life she can. The second responsibility is her solidarity with other women . . . she has no right to represent her situation as simpler, or less suspect, or less full of compromises than it really is.

so-so

Sontag is a fierce intellect. A force to be reckoned with. The kind of intellectual mind that can distract from her own contradictions with sophisticated wordplay & verbal a***-kickery. Convince you that you've got it wrong regardless of reality.

She'll elegantly explain the patriarchy, but then pooh-pooh advances in equal human rights as "reformist" & suggest we should politicise our sexual preferences.

My brain hurts. Send help.

willaful Yeah, not happening. 😂 9mo
