Is there a neverending commentary of things to do on a constant loop in your head? Pick up the kids, book dentist appointments, buy birthday gifts for the in-laws, make the packed lunches, put the laundry away... The mental load; emotional labour; the invisible burden … call it what you want but it’s insidiously impacting women’s lives. Writer, influencer, podcaster, wife and mum Cat Sims knows only too well the toll that the pressure of the mental load can take on our happiness and mental health.

For Nivedita Menon, feminism is not about a moment of final triumph over patriarchy but about the gradual transformation of the social field so decisively that old markers shift forever. From sexual harassment charges against international figures to the challenge that caste politics poses to feminism, from the ban on the veil in France to the attempt to impose skirts on international women badminton players, from queer politics to domestic servants’ unions to the Pink Chaddi campaign, Menon deftly illustrates how feminism complicates the field irrevocably.

Perché mai un uomo può “essere brutto” – magari calvo, con un naso prominente, occhi sporgenti... – mentre alle donne è richiesto di rispettare precisi canoni estetici e di apparire sempre giovani e attraenti? È una domanda per la quale non abbiamo una risposta soddisfacente. Una donna nasce, cresce e passa tutta la vita a tenersi alla larga dall'essere identificata come “brutta”: è la storia raccontata da Giulia Blasi in questo libro, una raccolta di saggi brevi che hanno l'esplosività di una serie di monologhi lucidi e affilati, a metà tra ferocia e risata.

The lives of women of the American Revolution will be examined through an intimate look at some significant women of the era.

Perché ci piace guardare una donna crollare? Cosa ci attrae della sua vulnerabilità? È uno spettacolo a cui siamo abituati e da cui con difficoltà distogliamo lo sguardo. Questo saggio potente e appassionato ci apre le porte di una galleria degli orrori in cui celebrità di ogni epoca, da Charlotte Brontë a Miley Cyrus, da Britney Spears a Hillary Clinton, hanno scontato la colpa di non aver rispettato i limiti che la cultura patriarcale aveva imposto alle loro vite.

Fern Brady was told she couldn't be autistic because she's had loads of boyfriends and is good at eye contact. This is a story of how being female can get in the way of being autistic and how being autistic gets in the way of being the 'right kind' of woman.

The idea that medicine is gender-neutral is a myth. This isn't inflammatory rhetoric; it's simply true. From the way pain is felt, to how heart attacks are diagnosed, to the very role society plays in the health of the body, the medical landscape in place today is one that was designed for, and by, men. This audiobook is about all the ways medicine is not gender-neutral, from research to treatment to diagnosis. Throughout history, flawed mindsets have paved the way for sub-par treatment, and the prevailing attitudes that exist today have had terrible repercussions for women.

When Camonghne Felix goes through a monumental breakup, culminating in a hospital stay, everything—from her early childhood trauma and mental health to her relationship with mathematics—shows up in the tapestry of her healing. In this exquisite and raw reflection, Felix repossesses herself through the exploration of history she’d left behind, using her childhood “dyscalculia”—a disorder that makes it difficult to learn math—as a metaphor for the consequences of her miscalculations in love.

Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition - a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely - regardless of how we identify – but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It’s what binds us, not what separates us.

Este libro es un relato personal, un viaje a través de mis inquietudes y lecturas, mi encuentro con historias protagonizadas por mujeres, ya sean reales o criaturas literarias, sin olvidar el papel de los hombres que estuvieron cerca de ellas, para bien o para mal.

La reflexión sobre la condición femenina es urgente en nuestro tiempo.Nunca hasta hoy hemos estado más cerca de comprender la igualdad de valor entre los sexos. Y nunca nos hemos encontrado más alejados y confundidos, al convivir en una cultura que niega el valor de la diferencia. Precisamente en esto reside la paradoja de nuestro mundo. Nuestro tiempo acelerado, obsesionado en "hacer cosas útiles", mina la disposición femenina a la acogida y a la ternura, así como la natural empatía tan propia de la mujer, y su apertura a la vida.
