Joan Didion was a writer’s writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist and screenwriter, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life’s telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging them to become close observers of the world. The World According to Joan Didion is a meditation on the people, places, and objects that propelled Didion’s prose and an invitation to journalists, storytellers, and life adventurers to “throw themselves into the convulsions of the world,” as she once said.

«Ogni volta in cui le donne vengono ammazzate la reazione unanime è sempre quella di un composto, sommesso, quasi imbarazzato: "poverina"». Quando leggiamo la notizia di un femminicidio stiamo in realtà leggendo un'altra storia: quella di chi quel gesto l'ha compiuto, quasi mai di chi l'ha subito. Come se la vittima non fosse al centro della vicenda, e non potesse - neppure da morta - ricevere l'attenzione che le spetta.

Their stories reveal the extent to which it is logistically complicated, physically taxing, financially demanding, emotionally draining, and uncertain in its effects.

Unsere gesamte Kulturgeschichte ist durchdrungen von Darstellungen idealtypischer Paarbeziehungen, die – direkt oder unterschwellig – eine weibliche Unterlegenheit inszenieren. Es sind Bilder, die suggerieren, dass die Frau nur durch Unterwerfung romantische Erfüllung erlangen kann. Diese gesellschaftliche Konditionierung impft Frauen und Männern die Überzeugung ein, dass Männern alles zusteht, während von Frauen Selbstlosigkeit und Hingabe erwartet werden. Durch das erzwungene Leugnen eigener Interessen, Bedürfnisse und Wünsche wird das Selbstvertrauen der Frauen untergraben.
