«С такой фигурой это лучше не надевать». «Талия у вас проблемная зона». «Она хорошо выглядит для своего возраста». Женщине все время дают понять: с ее телом что-то не так, его нужно улучшать, контролировать, исправлять. Философ Анастасия Торопова исследует, как культура, идеология и экономика формируют представление о нормальном теле: от древнегреческой женщины как «слабого мужчины» и корсета как инструмента социального неравенства до Ким Кардашьян как идеального тела общества потребления.

„Sisterhood statt Stutenbissigkeit" räumt auf mit dem hartnäckigen Mythos, Frauen seien sich gegenseitig die größten Gegnerinnen. Und ja – es schaut auch ehrlich auf die Dynamiken, die wir lieber verdrängen: Neid, Konkurrenz, stille Vergleiche, passiv-aggressive Spitzen.

Il est temps de réinventer le travail. On a répété à l'envi que le travail serait un refuge, un moyen pour les femmes de s'extirper de leur rôle assigné de mère et d'épouse, de gagner leur argent, leur liberté, de trouver leur place dans la société… De devenir, en somme, grâce à la sueur de leur front, les égales des hommes. Et si tout cela n'était qu'une grande illusion ? Le monde du travail n'est pas un espace neutre, un tremplin méritocratique ou égalitaire. C'est un monde construit par et pour les hommes, dont les règles du jeu garantissent le maintien de leurs privilèges.
