Men Explain Things to Me: A Personal and Political Memoir

By Rebecca Solnit

In her book Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways in which men often explain things to women, even when they are not asked to. This phenomenon, which Solnit calls "mansplaining," is a form of sexism that perpetuates the idea that men are more knowledgeable and authoritative than women.
