When Sasha Bonét's grandmother, Betty Jean, raised eleven children in a Texas bayou house, she did it alone, creating a home that was the heart of their family. Her daughter, Mama Connie, vowed to live differently but found herself echoing her mother's struggles.

It charts the societal revolution taking place among mid-life women and older, where traditional norms are being dismantled in order to reclaim a fundamental part of themselves.

Daughters often grow up believing their role in the family is simple: love your parents, help out when you can, and carry on the traditions that bind you together. But adulthood reveals a more complicated reality. So, what is “daughtering”? If you’re a woman and you’ve ever dreaded a weekly phone call to your mother or planned a multi-generational family vacation or considered everyone’s dietary needs at Thanksgiving (including your vegan cousin), then you are daughtering.

Bossy. Frigid. Spinster. Sl*t. Mumsy. Milf. Bimbo. The English language has a seemingly infinite number of judgemental and hypocritical words to describe women and their life choices. We can't win, no matter what we do. In Bimbo, Ashley unpacks the labels that box women in, and the systems that keep them there. From 'bossy' little girls, 'tarty' teens, to mothers who 'let themselves go', and 'left-on-the-shelf' single women, Ashley dissects the systems that try to confine us and asks: what if we broke free?

We all have an idea what it means to be a good mom: little screen time, kids hitting their milestones, endless patience and understanding, and self-sacrifice on behalf of one’s children. But what does it mean to be a “bad mom” in modern society? Women as wide-ranging as Meghan Markle, Hannah Neelman (of Ballerina Farm), and anyone giving birth over forty, have been labeled “bad moms.” In a world where the rules are constantly changing, it feels like women simply cannot win.

What are the forces that shape us? In The Women, Hilton Als explores—with breath taking originality—the role of sexual and racial identity in marginalized lives.

It is also an issue that has played a central, at times troubling role in the history of feminism. Lara Feigel's book probes the relationship between emancipation and care via a range of fascinating (and also heartbreaking, surprising and enraging) custody cases 1800 to the present.

Knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting―throughout history, these and other forms of textile work have often been dismissed as merely "women's work" and attached to ideas of domesticity and obedience. Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter Nicole Nehrig explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power. When their voices were silenced and other avenues were closed off to them, women used the tools they had―often a needle and thread―to seek freedom.

Picking up where Riot Days left off, Maria (Masha) Alyokhina takes us through her activist experiences between 2014 to 2022. In vivid, diary-like vignettes, we follow her as she goes in and out of Russian prisons, continually dodges police violence, protests at the Sochi Olympics, flies to Kyiv to stand in solidarity with Ukraine, defends the high-level dissident Alexi Navalny, drops banners at Trump Tower, and—in 2022—flees from Russia in disguise to escape a new prison sentence.

Die Bestsellerautorin Natalie Haynes nimmt uns mit in die Welt der griechischen Mythologie, zu den Göttinnen des Olymps. Missverständnisse und falsche Darstellungen in Kunst, Literatur und Popkultur verzerren unseren Blick, doch mit diesem Buch sehen wir Frauenfiguren, die wir schon zu kennen meinen, plötzlich in einem ganz neuen Licht. So ist Athene die Göttin des Krieges, wird aber auch für ihren weisen Rat geschätzt. Aphrodite ist die schönste aller Göttinnen, hat jedoch eine rachsüchtige Seite und bestraft jeden hart, der ihr missfällt.

With the 2024 reelection of Donald Trump, it has become impossible to deny that male supremacy is America’s chief value system. To deny this is to ignore the root cause of democratic crises here and all over the Western world. And denial undermines our ability to resist and overcome.
