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.

Je stärker die Frauen, desto größer der Hass auf sie. Der US Supreme Court verbietet das Recht auf Abtreibung, die Polizei verzeichnet einen starken Anstieg häuslicher Gewalt, auf TikTok werden Tötungsfantasien an Frauen zum Trend. Die These: Dieser Backlash ist eine Reaktion auf die zunehmende Gleichberechtigung. Wie kann der Teufelskreis durchbrochen werden? Die Journalistin Susanne Kaiser erzählt die ganze Geschichte und entwirft mögliche Lösungen.

A brutal vida das mulheres tratadas como homens nas prisões brasileiras. Grande reportagem sobre o cotidiano das prisões femininas no Brasil, um tabu neste país, Nana Queiroz alcança o que é esperado do futuro do jornalismo: ao ouvir e dar voz às presas (e às famílias delas), desde os episódios que as levaram à cadeia até o cotidiano no cárcere, a autora costura e ilumina o mais completo e ambicioso panorama da vida de uma presidiária brasileira.

La familia, la cultura y las tradiciones nos marcan, pero no nos definen. Quizás por eso es tan acertada la frase que, en el espíritu de Simone de Beauvoir, asegura que no se nace feminista, sino que se llega a serlo. El caso de Salomé Gómez-Upegui es el fiel retrato de esa máxima.

Es ist das erste Hörbuch, das explizit die Finanzen von Müttern in den Blick nimmt: Die Soziologin Birgit Happel zeigt, wie hoch die Kosten sind, die für Frauen mit Mutterschaft einhergehen. Fehlende Betreuungsangebote, Diskriminierung am Arbeitsplatz, falsche wirtschaftliche Anreize sowie stereotype Erwartungen wirken sich gravierend auf ihr Erwerbseinkommen aus. Unsere Arbeitswelt und die vorherrschende Vollzeitnorm baut auf die Care-Arbeit von Müttern – räumt ihr jedoch keinen angemessenen wirtschaftlichen Stellenwert ein.

In the late 1960s, Patsy Channing, a stunningly beautiful young woman, was suspended from the venerable Mississippi State College for Women for breach of conduct. The resulting scandal reached all the way to the Columbus courthouse, and the press ate it up. But Patsy's story starts long before that, living with a preoccupied and troubled mother in Memphis, Tennessee. Music becomes her ticket out and a vehicle for the one thing she covets most—a chance to be crowned Miss America. In Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen, Julie Hines Mabus provides a peek into that world.

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.

Tsitsi Dangarembga zählt zu den wichtigsten Stimmen des afrikanischen Kontinents. Ihr Werk ist unbequem, erhellend und hochpolitisch - kein Wunder, hat sie selbst doch von klein auf erfahren, wie weit die Schatten des Kolonialzeitalters noch heute reichen. Die internationale Bestsellerautorin, Filmemacherin, Friedenspreisträgerin und Aktivistin widmet ihr Sachbuchdebüt dem Kampf für soziale Gerechtigkeit.

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.

Not many women can claim to have changed history, but Nafis Sadik set that goal in her youth, and change the world she did. Champion of Choice tells the remarkable story of how Sadik, born into a prominent Indian family in 1929, came to be the world’s foremost advocate for women’s health and reproductive rights, the first female director of a United Nations agency, and “one of the most powerful women in the world” (London Times).

This collection of short stories provides a glimpse into the lives of girls from all corners of the globe who were inspired by their experiences to bring about change in their communities. Each author has a different story of what it means to grow up as a girl in her own country.

Women of the American Revolution explores the trials of war and daily life for women in the United States during the War of Independence. What challenges were caused by the division within communities as some stayed loyal to the king and others became patriots? How much choice did women have as their loyalties were assumed to be that of their husbands or fathers? The lives of women of the American Revolution will be examined through an intimate look at some significant women of the era.

In this brave and thoughtful book, Max Robinson goes beyond the ‘before' and ‘after' of the transition she underwent and takes us through the processes that led her, first, to transition in an attempt to get relief from her distress, and then to detransition as she discovered feminist thought and community.

De las muchas criaturas fabulosas que han poblado la literatura y el cine, la mujer fatal es una de las más recurrentes y proteicas de los dos últimos siglos, si bien forma parte de una antigua estirpe que se remonta hasta la inconstante Helena clásica que motivó la guerra de Troya o la temeraria Eva bíblica que condenó a la humanidad entera.

« Où passe l'argent des femmes, celui qu'elles ont et celui qu'elles n'auront jamais ? À force d'écrire sur la vie des femmes, leur travail, leurs enfants, leur corps, leur vie affective, leur argent depuis des années, j'ai réalisé tout ce que l'idéal du couple hétéronormé leur coûtait. Et me suis demandé : le couple est-il une arnaque ?

As we grow and move through the world, it shrinks us and puts us in boxes - tells us who we should be, what we're capable of, and who to love. As a queer child of immigrants, Maria Thattil knows what it is like to struggle with belonging. To have confusing, disparate identities, none of them fitting traditional ideas of worth, power or success. In Unbounded, she shares galvanising stories of what she has lived and learned through experiencing racism, sexism, financial hardship, intergenerational trauma, homophobia and mental health challenges.

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.

Warum kam man erst im späten 20. Jahrhundert auf die Idee, Räder unter Reisekoffer zu montieren - obwohl es das Rad schon seit fünftausend Jahren gibt? Wären wir womöglich nie auf den Mond gelangt ohne das Wissen amerikanischer Näherinnen? Und wie sähe eigentlich eine Welt aus, in der Frauen genauso viel Gehör finden wie Männer? Die schwedische Bestsellerautorin Katrine Marçal zeigt mit viel Verve, was die Menschheit über die Jahrhunderte verloren (oder erst viel später erfunden) hat, weil eine Hälfte von ihr - die Frauen - nicht mitreden, mitbestimmen, miterfinden durfte.

As a result of my podcast and the first book, I often hear people talking about how there are no good men anymore. Femininity too is degrading due to the social Marxism that has invaded our American society. While men are becoming less manly in most measurable ways, women are becoming more traditionally masculine in behavior, and thus, less feminine.

Through candid interviews with Maya Angelou, Toni Cade Bambara, Gwendolyn Brooks, Alexis De Veaux, Nikki Giovanni, Kristin Hunter, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Sonia Sanchez, Ntozake Shange, Alice Walker, Margret Walker, and Sherley Anne Williams, the book highlights the practices and critical linkages between the work and lived experiences of Black women writers whose work laid the foundation for many who have come after.
