Susanne Krammer ist jahrelang selbst in diese Falle getappt. Als Mode- und Beautyjournalistin hat sie diese Ideale selbst befeuert, und der Wunsch, noch »perfekter« auszusehen, hätte sie fast das Leben gekostet, als eine völlig unnötige Beauty-OP schiefging und sie nach einer schweren Sepsis nur durch eine Notoperation gerettet werden konnte. In ihrem Hörbuch widmet sie sich der Frage, wie es dazu kommen konnte – und warum fast alle Frauen trotz Feminismus und Aktivismus noch nicht weiter zu sein scheinen und es uns einfach nicht gelingt, uns so anzunehmen, wie wir sind: schön.

We often think of the enduring tropes of the Gothic in terms of fiction and film—breath-catching escapes that tap into our fears, anxieties, forbidden desires, and unsettling dreams. But what if some of these chilly vibes are rooted in the experiences of real and tragic people who danced a macabre waltz with love and death? That's why we're here. Take the case of teenage Mercy Brown, victim—or was it predator?—of Rhode Island's vampire hysteria of the 1890s. Marguerite de la Roque, a French noblewoman condemned for "sexual crimes" to Canada's long-lost Isle of Demons.

Beneath the postcard image of Prince Edward Island lies a truth the province has long tried to forget. In The Children Who Vanished, author Kennedy Rowe excavates a harrowing yet hidden legacy: the forced adoptions, maternity homes, and church-run institutions that quietly operated for decades, but never innocently. Through meticulous research, survivor testimony, and a refusal to look away from uncomfortable truths, Rowe sheds light on how unwed mothers were silenced, how infants were taken and rehomed, and how official records were sealed, altered, or erased.

Lydiette Carrión—autora de La fosa de agua—explora en este libro la forma en que los feminicidios han sido narrados y mistificados, hasta llegar a ser usados, al menos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, para posicionar productos de consumo, a la par que fomentan la asimilación de figuras estereotipadas de la feminidad y la violencia de género.

For most of her life, unconcernedly flat-chested author and academic Dr Lisa Portolan had never really thought about her breasts, or boobs in general.

A friendship formed, then a working relationship ... and as the two women embarked on business dealings together, the monolithic power of mammary glands became glaringly apparent.

Ao contrário do que muitos possam pensar, o feminismo não pretende – e nunca pretendeu – colocar as mulheres em um patamar acima ao dos homens. Ele busca combater o machismo, tão enraizado nas relações sociais que chega, muitas vezes, a passar despercebido e é até mesmo normalizado, submetendo as mulheres às mais diferentes formas de violência, seja por meio de agressões (verbais, psicológicas, patrimoniais e físicas), assédio sexual, silenciamento, desigualdade salarial e de oportunidades no mercado de trabalho, ou ainda pela objetificação do corpo feminino.
