We Band of Angelsis the story of women searching for adventure, caught up in the drama and danger of war. On the same day the Japanese Imperial Navy launched its surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, it also struck American bases in the Far East, chief among them the Philippines.

It was the 1960s - a time of economic boom and social strife. Young women poured into the workplace, but the “Help Wanted” ads were segregated by gender and the “Mad Men” office culture was rife with sexual stereotyping and discrimination. Lynn Povich was one of the lucky ones, landing a job at Newsweek, renowned for its cutting-edge coverage of civil rights and the “Swinging Sixties.” Nora Ephron, Jane Bryant Quinn, Ellen Goodman, and Susan Brownmiller all started there as well. It was a top-notch job - for a girl - at an exciting place. But it was a dead end.

Women are standing up and #shoutingback.

We worry putting our family first means we'll be forced to abandon our careers. We're afraid if we pause our careers, we'll be forever off track. This thinking is outdated - forget what you've heard about how pauses are career limiting, about how those who pause lack ambition, or that if you do pause you won't be able to reenter the paid workforce. That's a flawed reality, one that doesn't reflect the truth of the careers of some of the most successful women in this country. Author Lisen Stromberg knows this success firsthand.

In The Problem with Rich Women, Gloria Steinem explores how and why feminism failed to reach women in powerful families, and provides an urgent and persuasive argument for rebellion among upper-class women.

That she was not alone. Now Jamila wants to pay it forward to other new mothers.

The book that changed the consciousness of a country - and the world. Landmark, groundbreaking, classic - these adjectives barely describe the earthshaking and long-lasting effects of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. This is the book that defined "the problem that has no name", that launched the Second Wave of the feminist movement, and has been awakening women and men with its insights into social relations, which still remain fresh, ever since.

When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a deeply personal journey to tease out the intersections between sexuality and creativity, she discovers, much to her own astonishment, an increasing body of scientific evidence that suggests that the vagina is not merely flesh, but an intrinsic component of the female brain - and thus has a fundamental connection to female consciousness itself.

Misogyny is a hot topic, yet it's often misunderstood. What is misogyny, exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist - or increase - even when sexist gender roles are waning? This book is an exploration of misogyny in public life and politics by the moral philosopher Kate Manne. It argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it's primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women.

Online sensation, fearless feminist heroine and scourge of trolls and misogynists everywhere, Clementine Ford is a beacon of hope and inspiration to thousands of Australian women and girls. Her incendiary debut, Fight Like a Girl, is an essential manifesto for feminists new, old and soon to be and exposes just how unequal the world continues to be for women.

Quando si tratta di discriminare la donna, le principali religioni monoteiste sono tutte d'accordo. Ogni donna sarà etichettata come figlia di Maria o figlia di Eva: la donna è l'origine del peccato, la tentatrice che seduce e porta alla perdizione. E allora la religione, alibi del patriarcato, serve per opprimere e sconfiggere, secolo dopo secolo, millennio dopo millennio; e allora serve un dio maschio, un figlio di dio maschio, un profeta maschio, sacerdoti maschi.

"Parlare con un sessista è come giocare a scacchi con un piccione". La maggior parte delle volte non siamo noi a scegliere le parole che usiamo: il nostro linguaggio, fatto per lo più di stereotipi, modi di dire e luoghi comuni, deriva da una cultura patriarcale preesistente a noi. In questo audiolibro Lorenzo Gasparrini analizza e studia le forme del linguaggio sessista, da dove hanno tratto origine e come sono cambiate negli anni, e in che modo i femminismi abbiano portato avanti su questo tema le battaglie per la parità.

"Canto il corpo elettrico / le schiere di quelli che amo mi abbracciano e io li abbraccio / non mi lasceranno sinché non andrà con loro, non risponderà loro / e li purificherà, li caricherà in pieno con il carico dell'anima". Così Walt Whitman racconta il corpo umano in "Foglie d'Erba": inizio e limite di ogni nostra azione, primo confine dell'universo. Oggi il corpo messo al centro del dibattito nella società contemporanea è quello della donna, che si fa terreno simbolico, campo sui cui combattono forze diverse e in contrapposizione.

Da sempre la rabbia ha una cattiva fama, è considerata un'emozione sgradevole e deprecabile. In generale, quindi, tendiamo a provare nei suoi confronti una certa paura e a non concederle spazio, che si tratti della nostra o di quella altrui. Questo vale in particolare per le donne: di fatto, una donna che esprime liberamente la propria rabbia viene definita stizzosa, isterica o eccessivamente drammatica. Per questo, le donne più degli uomini hanno la tendenza a rimuoverla e a nasconderla, in primis a se stesse, dietro il volto dell'amarezza, della delusione, del dolore.
