In her 20s, Rebecca Solnit grapples with gender violence, cultural exclusion, and the fight to find her voice as a writer and feminist in 1980s San Francisco. Adrift in the city, she discovers punk rock's fury and the liberating power of books, queer community, and the American West. This unflinching memoir traces Solnit's evolution from silenced outsider to acclaimed author and activist.
