From the most unlikely person to end up as a senior official to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama comes a candid, incredible and inspiring story.

Poche settimane dopo l'incarico alla guida del Governo, durante un veloce scambio di auguri con Giorgia Meloni, Alessandro Sallusti si lascia scappare una battuta: «Peccato che un presidente del Consiglio in carica non possa pensare di scrivere un libro per raccontare i suoi progetti». E lei: «E perché non può farlo?». Sallusti, preso in contropiede, la butta lì: «Non lo so esattamente, ma ci sarà un motivo se nessuno l'ha mai fatto». Lei: «Dovresti sapere che fare quello che hanno fatto tutti gli altri non è esattamente la mia specialità».

Twelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on sharp insights of women as survivors, activists and scholars from Ukraine to Sudan and Myanmar to show how diverse women's experiences of war must be taken seriously if we are to prevent and shorten wars and make gender justice central to recovering from wars. Women's wars are not men's wars. Wartime shapes the gendered politics of marriage, prostitution, journalism, economics, childcare, domestic violence and rape. Enloe's razor-sharp analysis highlights how understanding this can prevent wars and even end them.

The Second World War represents one of humanity’s greatest tragedies. Yet in the thick of cruelty, suffering, and loss, ordinary women secretly stood against the Nazi regime, selflessly serving as bearers of peace and hope.

More than a century after he dominated American politics, Woodrow Wilson still fascinates. With panoramic sweep, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn reassesses his life and his role in the movements for racial equality and women’s suffrage.

Blain brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future.

Rosie Holt, the desperate and loyal Tory MP famous for her viral twitter ‘interviews’, is finally here in book form to celebrate the last 14 years of Conservative government and explain to you, the British public, why the so called “scandals” or “controversial” decisions derided by the left were completely right (and intentional) all along. She’ll make Tories of you all yet.

Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the “Merkel Diamond”) and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. No one is better positioned than New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy to pull back the curtain on the woman who engineered Germany’s rise to wealth, power, and an economy worth 3.8 trillion in USD.

Sie sprach häufig vor Arbeiter- und Frauenvereinen.

Médica, madre, mujer. Tres palabras que no solo eran un eslogan de campaña electoral, sino que definían a la persona que encarnaba la candidatura de Más Madrid a la presidencia de la Comunidad de Madrid.

Questo audiolibro si apre con il racconto delle settimane immediatamente successive al massacro compiuto dai terroristi palestinesi in Israele, ai confini con la Striscia di Gaza, con atrocità persino più agghiaccianti delle orribili pagine dell'Olocausto. E spiega perché si è arrivati a un punto cieco, ripercorrendo settantacinque anni di occasioni perdute, dal 1948 a oggi. Se Hamas (e non è il solo) vuole cancellare Israele, Putin continua a voler cancellare l'Ucraina, con una guerra che ha fatto ormai centinaia di migliaia di morti e di cui non si vede la fine.
