Included in the BEST OF GRANTA launch list for 2023: a collection of the landmark, incendiary essays that established Rebecca Solnit as one of the leading feminist writers working today.

A landmark investigation into how communities respond to disasters, and what we can learn from these displays of altruism and generosity in the face of adversity.

Published as a standalone on International Woman's Day, the essay that became a touchstone of the feminist movement and inspired the term 'mansplaining', with an afterword on its origins.
