What makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer a "brave dame" but Ally McBeal a "wimpette"? In this witty, incisive look at the role of women on screen and page, Susan Isaacs argues that assertive, ethical women characters are losing ground to wounded, shallow sisters who are driven by what she calls, "the articles of wimpette philosophy."

Part butch memoir, part ekphrastic travel diary, part queer family tree, Raquel Gutiérrez’s debut essay collection, Brown Neon, gleans insight from the sediment of land and relationships. For Gutiérrez, terrain is essential to understanding that no story, no matter how personal, is separate from the space where it unfolds.

I 1957 rejste etnograf og socialantropolog Henny Harald Hansen med en arkæologisk ekspedition til den kurdiske del af Irak for at undersøge, hvordan folk levede i små muslimske samfund. Som kvinde var Henny Harald Hansen en atypisk opdagelsesrejsende i sin tid, og hun blev da også behandlet med en vis skepsis og undren i starten af sin rejse. Men det var måske også netop på grund af hendes køn, at hun endte med at få en særlig adgang til de tørklædebærende kvinders privatliv i landsbyen.

Ten office workers in Boston started out sitting in a circle and sharing the problems they encountered on the job. In a few short years, they had built a nationwide movement that united people of diverse races, classes, and ages. They took on the corporate titans. They leafleted and filed lawsuits and started a woman-led union. They won millions of dollars in back pay and helped make sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination illegal. The women office workers who rose up to win rights and respect on the job transformed workplaces throughout America.

"Todo sobre el amor" ofrece nuevas formas radicales de pensar sobre el amor al mostrar su interconexión en nuestra vida privada y pública. En once capítulos concisos, hooks explica cómo nuestras nociones cotidianas de lo que significa dar y recibir amor a menudo nos fallan, y cómo estos ideales se establecen en la primera infancia. Ofrece un replanteamiento del amor propio (sin narcisismo) que aporta paz y compasión a nuestra vida personal y profesional, y defiende la importancia del amor para poner fin a las luchas entre individuos, comunidades y sociedades.

In 1970, Erin Keane’s mother ran away from home for the first time. She was thirteen years old. Over the next several years, and under two assumed identities, she hitchhiked her way across America, experiencing freedom, hardship, and tragedy. At fifteen, she met a man in New York City and married him. He was thirty-six. Through a deft balance of journalistic digging, cultural criticism, and poetic reimagining, Keane pieces together the true story of her mother’s teenage years, questioning almost everything she’s been told about her parents and their relationship.

Eres una caca, de Lula Gómez, nos invita a ponernos las gafas de color violeta y decir basta: Basta a esos pensadores que asentaron las bases del machismo -recordemos que fue nada menos que Charles Darwin quien dijo «la mujer ocupa un grado evolutivo entre el hombre y el niño»

Developing a novel theory of "partisan-gender identity," Gendering the GOP argues that Republican women in Congress are not merely gender-blind partisans. In fact, polarization and party competition have incentivized Republican women to organize around their partisan-gender identity and distinguish themselves from both Democratic women and Republican men. In so doing, Republican congresswomen have increased their visibility while simultaneously upholding a party culture that limits women's presence and power in the institution.

Galeano ha hecho de la mujer un eje vertebrador de su creación, para defender, en ella y en su reivindicación, la dignidad, siempre precaria, del ser humano. Galeano cuenta la intensidad de personajes femeninos atravesados por el peso de una causa, como Juana de Arco, Rosa Luxemburgo o Rigoberta Menchú; por su propia hermosura o talento, como Marilyn Monroe o Rita Hayworth, Frida Kahlo o Marie Curie, Camille Claudel o Josephine Baker. Pero también cuenta las hazañas colectivas de mujeres anónimas.

Einerseits willst und sollst du arbeiten, Geld verdienen, durchstarten – andererseits sorgen, lieben, achtsam sein. Der Widerspruch zwischen "hart" und "weich" zwingt dich in den Kampfmodus. Du kämpfst mit deinen eigenen Entscheidungen, Gedanken und Gefühlen; du kämpfst mit den Wünschen, Zielen, Meinungen anderer.

El estado machista y sus decisiones, el covid-19, la crisis económica subsecuente y la violencia brutal se han ensañado con las mexicanas. Ante esto, la palabra y la sororidad, los datos irrefutables, la explicación, la inteligencia y el diálogo son sus armas. En esta obra, seis periodistas de primer nivel coordinadas por Nayeli Roldán ofrecen reportajes que retratan, con sensibilidad combativa, la situación actual de las mujeres, las consecuencias de las políticas públicas vigentes, el estado de las luchas feministas y los escenarios que se avizoran.

Leslie Kern expone lo que está oculto a simple vista: las desigualdades sociales construidas en nuestras ciudades, hogares y vecindarios. Kern ofrece una visión alternativa de la ciudad feminista. Asumiendo el miedo, la maternidad, la amistad, el activismo y las alegrías y peligros de estar sola, Kern traza un mapa de la ciudad desde nuevos puntos de vista, presenta un enfoque feminista interseccional de las historias urbanas y propone que la ciudad es quizás también nuestra mejor esperanza para dar forma a un nuevo futuro urbano.
