All over the world, #MeToo inspired generations of women to fight in new ways for their rights. Yet so far, the news is dominated by narratives of celebrities and politicians in the US and UK. These are the stories you haven't heard. Stories of campaigning in the face of censorship, arrest and murder. Stories from favelas, film sets and feted institutions. Stories of passing groundbreaking laws against sexual harassment. For these women, #MeToo was not the beginning - and it is not the end.

Women Unsilenced explores the impact of unthinkable violence committed against women and girls through multiple perspectives—women’s recall of life-threatening ordeals of torture, human trafficking, and organized crime, society’s failure to recognize and address such crimes, and close examinations of how justice, health, political, and social systems perpetuate revictimizing trauma.

In From Back Alley to the Border, Alicia Gutierrez-Romine examines the history of criminal abortion in California and the role abortion providers played in exposing and exploiting the faults in California’s anti-abortion statute throughout the 20th century.

What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.

This book explores gender, disability, and literature in the Global South, concentrating on Nepal in particular. Religious and cultural values disable women’s autonomy in general, and create even greater disadvantages for women who are physically disabled. This study examines two Nepali women writers, Bishnu Kumari Waiwa and Jhamak Ghimire, who challenge stigmas of the disabled body by deconstructing the “ideology of ability” through their autobiographical narratives.

Like many of us, Jeffrey Marsh was conditioned to have an outward focus—to give to others, to be a good listener, and to be the one who gave the best advice. In Marsh’s case, it was a method of survival. Growing up genderfluid in an unaccepting family, Marsh did everything they could to meet the needs of others and not have needs of their own. And ultimately, this meant Marsh put themself in the backseat of their own life. In this heartfelt and sincere book, Marsh shares their story and the lessons they learned on the path back to themselves.

People of the past shaped this world, intentionally or unintentionally, which yielded the world we see today. Harnessing that evolutionary instinct of taking on risk and carving out meaning in this world is something to revisit and explore. In this book, the author applies primal characteristics of strength, courage, honor, and mastery to help listeners improve their personal, physical, financial, social, and spiritual well-being.

Imagino este ensayo como un combate. Quisiera escribir un ensayo-enojo, un ensayo-rabia. Que fuera recibido como una avalancha de golpes. Entre una frase y otra, habrá que visualizar energía desplegándose. Habrá que ver los músculos de mis muslos contrayéndose, mi centro de gravedad descendiendo y mis puños en posición de guardia. Habrá que entender por qué me esfuerzo por mantener mis hombros relajados y mis reflejos alertas, imaginar con precisión un codo que baja levemente, unas caderas que giran.

Fin dalla sua comparsa, la specie umana è drasticamente divisa in due – assecondando nel corso dei millenni falsi pretesti e credenze religiose, linguistiche, culturali e sociali. Da una parte ci sono gli uomini: corpi forti e resistenti, eroi e divinità a cui asservirsi. Dall’altra le donne: corpi deboli e fragili, ancelle destinate a servire. Questa logica primitiva è finita per essere assunta come legge trascendente attribuendo alla natura e a Dio la responsabilità di ciò che invece è stato un mero progetto umano al maschile.

Ready for this? Imagine that males have higher math scores vs women, but only in countries where there is discrimination on-the-basis-of-sex. Imagine that behaviors like walking out of a fight, misreading a look, responding to tone of voice, have the opposite effect and different meaning for a male vs a female. Their preferences for moving vs talking may explain the difference between happiness and break ups, work mysteries, and academic behavior. You will want to know at least these seven differences today!

Cry, Baby explores humans' rich legacy of weeping—and why some of us stopped. With the keen gaze of a journalist and the vulnerability of a good friend, Perry explores the great paradoxes of our tears. Why do we cry? In societies marked by racism, sexism, and homophobia, who is allowed to cry—and who isn't? And if weeping tells us something fundamental about who we are, what do our tears say?

Wenn wir so weitermachen wie bisher, wird es noch Ewigkeiten dauern, bis Frauen und Männer über dieselben Rechte und Möglichkeiten verfügen. So lange können wir nicht warten!

In The Silver Women, Joan Flores-Villalobos argues that Black West Indian women made the Panama Canal construction possible by providing the indispensable everyday labor of social reproduction. West Indian women built a provisioning economy that fed, housed, and cared for the segregated Black West Indian labor force, in effect subsidizing the construction effort and the racial calculus that separated pay in silver for Black workers and gold for white Americans.

From television shows to the manosphere, and from alt-right communities to fatherhood forums, debates about masculinity have come to dominate the media landscape. This growing cultural tension around masculinities has been discussed and analyzed both for general audiences and in burgeoning academic scholarship. What has been typically overlooked, however, is the role that language plays in these mediated performances of masculinity. In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data to explore language and masculinities across a range of media contexts.

Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation dives deep into the occult roots of the movement, detailing the lives of some of its most prominent figures and the esoteric beliefs that inspired and motivated them. Since the 1970s, everything we learn about the history of the women's movement has been subject to gatekeeping by radicals who run women's studies departments in universities. But there's an entire history that has been obscured from public view.

Unsere gesamte Kulturgeschichte ist durchdrungen von Darstellungen idealtypischer Paarbeziehungen, die – direkt oder unterschwellig – eine weibliche Unterlegenheit inszenieren. Es sind Bilder, die suggerieren, dass die Frau nur durch Unterwerfung romantische Erfüllung erlangen kann. Diese gesellschaftliche Konditionierung impft Frauen und Männern die Überzeugung ein, dass Männern alles zusteht, während von Frauen Selbstlosigkeit und Hingabe erwartet werden. Durch das erzwungene Leugnen eigener Interessen, Bedürfnisse und Wünsche wird das Selbstvertrauen der Frauen untergraben.
