In 1981 Rebecca Solnit rented a studio apartment in San Francisco her home for the next
twenty-five years. There she began the process of forging a voice in a society that preferred
women to be silent. Liberated by West Coast activism growing gay pride and punk rock she
broke through oppression and over time transformed into a writer and activist who speaks for
the marginalised - galvanised to use her own voice for change. Recollections of My
Non-Existence is the landmark memoir from a voice of a generation and a rally cry for
generations to come.
