The battles over whose stories get told have never been more intense. In this incisive new book, Rebecca Solnit examines how marginalized voices are challenging the old guard, rewriting the dominant narratives. As women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals assert their right to self-representation, a new cultural landscape is emerging - one where the gatekeepers can no longer control the conversation. Solnit's keen analysis lays bare the high stakes of this fight for the power of representation.
