    "description": "A pithy and brilliant introduction to Susan Sontag\u2019s writing on women, gathering early essays on aging, equality, beauty, sexuality, and fascism\n\nSusan Sontag was one of the most formidable, original, and influential thinkers of the last century. \u201cThe most interesting ideas are heresies,\u201d she remarked, and indeed, her writing rejects the familiar and refuses party lines.\n\nOn Women presents seven essays and exchanges, spanning a range of the challenges and humiliations women face as they age; the relationship between women\u2019s liberation and class struggle; beauty, which Sontag calls \u201cthat over-rich brew of so many familiar opposites\u201d; feminism; fascism; and film. Taken together, these pieces\u2015relentlessly curious, historically precise, politically robust, and allergic to easy categorization Sontag\u2019s inimitable mind at work.",
