Susan Sontag's new collection of essays, On Women, edited by her son David Rieff and with a foreword by writer and critic Merve Emre, comprises works written and published between 1972 and 1975, one of the most resonant periods of the women's movement in the United States. Sontag's polemical and sometimes radical ideas about what it means to be a woman in the modern world are presented in critical essays, a questionnaire for a Marxist Spanish-language magazine, an interview for an American magazine, and a discussion with poet and feminist Adrienne Rich. Mixing lively journalism and summarizing analysis, without drowning out other voices, and addressing audiences in other countries, Sontag raises questions about the double standard of aging, women's sexual validity, women's relation to each other, the women's movement's connections to other revolutionary movements, women's self-oppression, the functioning of beauty ideals, the eroticization of fascism, the plurality of feminist positions, and others. The collection reflects the turbulent - and already historical for us - era of the early 1970s, as well as Sontag's own journey, without losing its critical relevance today.
