About this audiobook
Amazing things happen when we take action. Solnit reminds us that some of the most radical ideals of our predecessors are the norms of mainstream society today - only because they took action even when a positive outcome seemed unlikely. She encourages us to remain hopeful and know that we have powerful impact on how the world will look seven generations from now.
