Summary of Rebecca Solnit's The Mother of All Questions

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Silence is what is imposed on us and what we seek to achieve. It is the ocean of the unsaid, the repressed, and the erased. It surrounds the scattered islands of those who are allowed to speak and what can be said.

#2 Violence against women is often against our voices and our stories. It is a refusal of our voices, and of what a voice means: the right to self-determination, to participation, to consent or dissent, to live and participate, to interpret and narrate.

#3 Who has been heard. The sea of unheard is vast, and the surface of the ocean is unmappable. We know who has been heard on the official subjects: who held office, attended university, commanded armies, served as judges and juries, wrote books, and ran empires.

#4 The same can be said for many North American figures, such as Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, Bill Cosby, and Jian Ghomeshi. The voices of these prominent public men devoured the voices of others, until nothingness was left but their impunity.
