Solnit emphasizes early on that her book strives to reinstate hope as a guiding and active force for activists in pursuit of social and political change. This quote becomes the basis of examination for the entire collection as Solnit explores what Woolf could have meant writing during the bleak time of the First World War. Solnit begins her collection by reflecting on a quote from Virignia Woolf’s journal in which she asserts that, “the future is dark, which is on the whole, the best thing the future can be, I think” (1). The following edition of this book was used to create this guide: Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities.
