Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Bringing together Susan Sontag's most fearless and incisive writing, On Women examines the oppression of women and the tools necessary for liberation.
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.
Critic reviews
"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)
