On Women brings together for the first time Susan Sontag's most incisive and direct writing on womanhood A brilliant new collection of essays on the oppression of women and the tools necessary for liberation from highly-acclaimed author Susan Sontag. Often regarded as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, Sontag's writing is breathtakingly clear, stylish and intellectually exhilarating. First written in the 1970s during the height of second-wave feminism, On Women examines 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. This collection of lost essays from Susan Sontag is a revelation.
