On Women

by Susan Sontag

First published 2023

In her latest collection, Susan Sontag trains her keen intellect on the thorny realities of modern feminism. From the fraught politics of the body to the insidious nature of patriarchal power, Sontag's essays cut to the heart of the movement's challenges and contradictions. With her signature blend of cultural criticism and personal reflection, she grapples with the ways feminism has both evolved and stagnated, leaving readers to confront their own biases and assumptions. Sontag's unflinching voice guides us through this minefield, challenging us to rethink everything we thought we knew about the struggle for gender equality.
