In Black Trans Feminism Marquis Bey offers a meditation on blackness and gender nonnormativity in ways that recalibrate traditional understandings of each. Theorizing black trans feminism from the vantages of abolition and gender radicality, Bey articulates blackness as a mutiny against racializing categorizations; transness as a nonpredetermined, wayward, and deregulated movement that works toward gender's destruction; and black feminism as an epistemological method to fracture hegemonic modes of racialized gender.

How do you tell the story of a feminist education, when the work of feminism can never be perfected or completed? In A Sentimental Education, Hannah McGregor, the podcaster behind Witch, Please and Secret Feminist Agenda, explores what podcasting has taught her about doing feminist scholarship not as a methodology but as a way of life.

En una época de grandes transformaciones en la que es necesario que los avances de género se asienten y permeen toda manifestación social y cultural, es indudable la exigencia de contar con un vocabulario que dé cuenta de este escenario en el que se desarrollan las sociedades actuales.

Focusing on the 'real' Helen, bestselling historian Bettany Hughes reconstructs the true life for this elusive Green Bronze age princess and places her alongside the heroes and heroines of myth and history.

L'incrocio tra le discriminazioni e gli effetti che queste hanno sulle persone impone al femminismo di occuparsi di tutte le marginalità e di lottare contro ogni forma di oppressione. Dall'importanza della giustizia climatica alle disuguaglianze sociali; dall'abilismo al fat shaming; dall'omolesbobitransfobia alla mascolinità tossica: "Anche questo è femminismo" vuole indagare lo stato attuale delle emarginazioni e portare alla luce come solo uno sguardo intersezionale possa realmente cambiare la società in cui viviamo. Introduzione di Irene Facheris.

But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another? In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis.

It’s a multibillion-dollar industry and one of our most iconic accessories of gender. This engaging and entertaining history of lipstick from the colonies to the present day will give listeners a new view of the little tube’s big place in modern America, from defining the middle class to building Fortune 500 businesses to being present at Stonewall and being engineered for space travel.

Frauen haben schon immer die Welt verändert: Sie haben geforscht, Weltliteratur geschrieben und neue Epochen in der Kunst eingeläutet. Doch die Namen dieser Frauen sucht man vergeblich in unseren Geschichtsbüchern. In Wahrheit hat nicht Walt Disney den Zeichentrickfilm erfunden, sondern eine Frau. Es waren auch Frauen, die die DNA, den ersten Algorithmus und die Kernspaltung beschrieben haben. Dank Vera Weidenbach erfahren wir nun endlich mehr über diese für die Weltgeschichte so wichtigen Frauen – wie Lilly Reich, Clara Immerwahr, Lucia Moholy, Nellie Bly und Margarete Steffin.

En una cultura en la que estamos bombardeadas por mensajes del tipo: "¡Ámate!, ¡Tu único límite eres tú!", no tenemos permitido decir que no sabemos cómo amarnos; que estamos cansadas y que nuestra autoestima es muchísimo más que mirarnos al espejo y repetir que somos mujeres "empoderadas". En este texto, Nerea de Ugarte López hace un análisis crítico a los conceptos de amor propio y positivismo tóxico, y propone una alternativa desde su experiencia como profesional de la salud mental con perspectiva de género: la autoestima política.

What does it mean to be a feminist? Over the years, our view of the concept of feminism has been skewed to the point in which many people are hesitant to align themselves with the term. The unfortunate fact in our society is that feminists have been stereotyped as men-hating, radical extremists, when in actuality this could not be further from the case. This book is a reminder of the importance of feminism and the women who strove to fight for equal treatment, regardless of sex, race, religion, or sexual identity.

Anna Prushinskaya explores the deep life shifts of pregnancy, birth and motherhood in the United States, a world away from the author's Soviet homeland. Drawing from inspirations as various as midwife Ina May Gaskin, writer and activist Alice Walker, and frontierswoman Caroline Henderson, Prushinskaya captures the inherent togetherness of motherhood alongside its accompanying estrangement. She plumbs the deeper waters of compassion, memory and identity, as well as the humorous streams of motherhood as they run up against the realities of work and the ever-present eye of social media.

Ella analiza las causas y describe con detalle las distintas situaciones por las que pasan las mujeres en las empresas, pero no se queda ahí: también estudia algunos de los mitos en que se basa esta desigualdad, los cuales hemos heredado históricamente, y propone una serie de soluciones para que comencemos a romper la brecha y que a las mujeres nos depare un futuro más justo e igualitario.

In a trio of popular gender rituals—sorority rush, beauty pageants, and the Confederate Pageant of the Natchez (Mississippi) Pilgrimage—young white southern women have readily ditched contemporary modes of dress and comportment for performances of purity, gentility, and deference. Clearly, the ability to "do" white southern womanhood, convincingly and on cue, has remained a valued performance. Based on ethnographic research and taped interviews, Southern Beauty goes behind the scenes of the three rituals to explore the motivations and rewards associated with participation.

Sorrowful widows, vengeful jezebels, innocent maidens, wronged lovers, former slaves, the odd axe-murderess—America's female ghosts differ widely in background, class, and circumstance. Yet one thing unites them: their ability to instill fascination and fear, long after death. Here are the stories behind some of the best-known among them, as well as the lesser-known—though no less powerful. A Haunted History of Invisible Women offers a unique lens on the role these ghostly legends play both within the spook-seeking corners of our minds and in the consciousness of a nation.

Disgrace is the first truly global history of sexual violence. The book explores how sexual violence varies widely across time and place, from nineteenth-century peasant women in Ireland who were abducted as a way of forcing marriage, to date-raped high-school students in twentieth-century America, and from girls and women violated by Russian soldiers in 1945 to Dalit women raped by men of higher castes today.

La course à la sexualité est-elle vraiment émancipatrice ? De la "révolution sexuelle" amorcée en Mai 68, aux mouvements sex-positifs actuels, on nous promet la possibilité pour toustes de jouir et de désirer sans entraves. Sauf qu'en investissant le sujet, le capitalisme et le patriarcat ont profondément transformé cette possibilité : le sexe est devenu un marché, et la non-sexualité une pathologie à guérir. En cherchant à optimiser le fonctionnement des corps et du désir, sommes-nous entré·es dans l'ère de l'aliénation sexuelle ?

Notre société trie les enfants à la naissance en fonction de leurs organes génitaux et en déduit leur rôle : homme ou femme, dominant ou dominée. Mais la société ne s'arrête pas à cette différenciation arbitraire. Vient ensuite la mise en relation obligatoire : chaque dominée devra vivre en couple avec un dominant. Le tout, paraît-il, pour assurer la reproduction, donc la survie de l'espèce. Mais dans ce cas, pourquoi être obligé de vivre en couple, toute sa vie ? Se reproduire ne prend pas autant de temps.

Maureen Murdock descreve neste audiolivro a busca mítica da mulher contemporânea por preservar os valores femininos e se realizar pessoal e profissionalmente numa sociedade construída por e para os homens.

Western folklore and mythology are rife with brilliantly creative, fulfilled, feisty, and furious role models for aging women, despite our culture's focus on youthfulness. In her exciting new book, mythologist and psychologist Sharon Blackie explores these archetypes, presenting them in a way sure to appeal to contemporary women. Drawing inspiration from these examples, women can reclaim midlife as a liberating, alchemical moment rich with possibility and their elder years as a path to dynamic power.
