Rebecca Solnit
In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of 14 books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling. She is a Harper's Magazine contributing editor.

Unfortunately, I felt the narration and delivery were completely inappropriate and did not do this book justice. Bell read off soul crushing statistics and tales of rape with a bubbly cheerfulness that made me cringe. It was painful to get through this audio book for that reason, making me wish I'd just read it the old fashioned way...on my Kindle :)
Great book, terrible narration

On a very separate random note unless I hear the narratoris voice doing the audio recording; I feel like I tend to not like the books more with a different narrator. It's almost as if a friend was telling an acquaintance my story but passing it off as their own- there's a kind of ingenuity that isn't there.
Otherwise great book and I will definitely listen to it again to catch anything I may have missed while being squeamish!

How on earth this narrator was chosen to read this book is beyond comprehension.
The sing song ridiculously babbling, baby talking voice is absurd and ludicrous. She sounds like a game show host telling people the delightful items they’ve won.
I find the tone of voice to be demeaning. Demeaning to women AND men AND the serious messages contained in the book.
The voice is a contraindication to the words that she is reading.
VERY important book; APPALLING narration
