In this work, slut-shaming expert Leora Tanenbaum explains that when we criticize young women for wearing body-revealing outfits and sharing sexy selfies, we are losing the plot. Young people are sick of being held responsible for others' inability to keep their eyes off their bodies. They explain that most of the time, they aren't even trying to sexualize themselves—and, when they do, they are taking control over their bodily autonomy.

Die Bestsellerautorin Natalie Haynes nimmt uns mit in die Welt der griechischen Mythologie, zu den Göttinnen des Olymps. Missverständnisse und falsche Darstellungen in Kunst, Literatur und Popkultur verzerren unseren Blick, doch mit diesem Buch sehen wir Frauenfiguren, die wir schon zu kennen meinen, plötzlich in einem ganz neuen Licht. So ist Athene die Göttin des Krieges, wird aber auch für ihren weisen Rat geschätzt. Aphrodite ist die schönste aller Göttinnen, hat jedoch eine rachsüchtige Seite und bestraft jeden hart, der ihr missfällt.

What if the guy who "checked all the boxes" was also the one calling bullshit on the system? Marc Roe is a white, straight, small-town Midwestern man with something to say—and the guts to say it. Raised on government cheese and hard rules, he was taught to man up, stay quiet, and earn respect the old-fashioned way. But as he rose through the ranks of leadership—in business, in public service, and in life—he realized the playbook he inherited was broken. Per Aspera Ad Claritatem—Through Hardship To Clarity is the story of how he rewrote it.

This beautifully written memoir tells the story of their journey, which is also the story of Palestine, from the Nakba to the present—a seventy-five-year tale of conflict, exodus, occupation, return, and search for belonging, seen through the eyes of one writer and her family. Jiryis reveals how her father, Sabri, a PLO leader and advisor to Yasser Arafat, chose exile in 1970 because of his work.

This book addresses the fraught relationship between women and aggression, one troubled by age-old patriarchal forces that disparage women's ambition, assertion, and voice.

Ho sempre pensato che la società femminile, nella media, fosse più evoluta della società maschile. Chiesi conferma di questa mia convinzione, presso un grande cenacolo, dove la guida mi rispose: "tu, come tutti, prima d'incarnarti, non eri né maschio né femmina e, una volta incarnato, sei stato tante volte maschio e tante volte femmina, a seconda delle esperienze che dovevi fare. Perchè vuoi separare ciò che invece è unito?

Knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting―throughout history, these and other forms of textile work have often been dismissed as merely "women's work" and attached to ideas of domesticity and obedience. Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter Nicole Nehrig explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power. When their voices were silenced and other avenues were closed off to them, women used the tools they had―often a needle and thread―to seek freedom.

Drawing on encounters between the Creeks of the Southeast and the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia in the eighteenth century, Savage Systers reveals a world in which Native women wielded power through means that shocked European observers: ritualized torture, scalp dances, brutal initiation rites, even infanticide and cannibalism. Far from aberrations, these acts embodied forms of feminine authority rooted deep in tribal culture. In deciding whether a captive lived or died, whether a stranger was rejected or absorbed, Native women determined the fate of peoples and nations.

Florence Nightingale is remembered the world over as the “Lady with the Lamp,” moving quietly through darkened hospital corridors during the Crimean War, bringing comfort and hope to wounded soldiers. Yet to leave her story at that glowing image is to miss the extraordinary breadth of her life’s work. Florence Nightingale was not only a nurse but also a visionary reformer, a relentless campaigner, and one of the first to use data and statistics as weapons for systemic change.

Growing up in West Texas, Jane Little Botkin didn't have designs on becoming a beauty queen. But not long after joining a pageant on a whim in college, she became the first protégé of El Paso's Richard Guy and Rex Holt, known as the "Kings of Beauty"—just as the 1970's counterculture movement began to take off.

La eco nell’opinione pubblica provocata dalla chiusura della pagina o gruppo Facebook “Mia moglie” non si placa, e anch’io, nella mia nullaggine intendo esprimere la mia solidarietà a quanti, donne o uomini non mi importa, siano stati offesi, derisi, abusati e violati dalle azioni degli scellerati individui che hanno violato l’intimità e la riservatezza di persone totalmente ignare.

Racconto questa storia, la mia e quella di altre, non perché la ritenga particolarmente significativa, ma perché mi ha insegnato che esserci, come donne, nei luoghi decisionali, non basta affatto. Bisogna esserci con il coraggio e la consapevolezza del proprio diverso punto di vista. Avvocato, giudice, magistrato. Tre mestieri nobili, ambiti. Tre parole di uso comune. Tre sostantivi maschili per cui il corrispettivo femminile non è nemmeno contemplato dalla maggioranza delle persone, come se non fossero professioni cui una donna può dedicarsi, posizioni che una donna può sperare di occupare.
