Es ist das erste Hörbuch, das explizit die Finanzen von Müttern in den Blick nimmt: Die Soziologin Birgit Happel zeigt, wie hoch die Kosten sind, die für Frauen mit Mutterschaft einhergehen. Fehlende Betreuungsangebote, Diskriminierung am Arbeitsplatz, falsche wirtschaftliche Anreize sowie stereotype Erwartungen wirken sich gravierend auf ihr Erwerbseinkommen aus. Unsere Arbeitswelt und die vorherrschende Vollzeitnorm baut auf die Care-Arbeit von Müttern – räumt ihr jedoch keinen angemessenen wirtschaftlichen Stellenwert ein.

Frame is the first in a series, descripting the work of thousands of men over a decade who have learned how to create a positive male identity in a world that not only lacks it, but punishes it. This first volume describes the tetrahedron of frame, and how to use it to calm the chaos in a suboptimal life, and drive towards something better: self actualization.

For Nivedita Menon, feminism is not about a moment of final triumph over patriarchy but about the gradual transformation of the social field so decisively that old markers shift forever. From sexual harassment charges against international figures to the challenge that caste politics poses to feminism, from the ban on the veil in France to the attempt to impose skirts on international women badminton players, from queer politics to domestic servants’ unions to the Pink Chaddi campaign, Menon deftly illustrates how feminism complicates the field irrevocably.

Tsitsi Dangarembga zählt zu den wichtigsten Stimmen des afrikanischen Kontinents. Ihr Werk ist unbequem, erhellend und hochpolitisch - kein Wunder, hat sie selbst doch von klein auf erfahren, wie weit die Schatten des Kolonialzeitalters noch heute reichen. Die internationale Bestsellerautorin, Filmemacherin, Friedenspreisträgerin und Aktivistin widmet ihr Sachbuchdebüt dem Kampf für soziale Gerechtigkeit.

Regresamos a la tercera temporada de MachX en Rehabilitación donde intentaremos deshacernos de machismos que forman parte de todos, todas y todes.

Perché mai un uomo può “essere brutto” – magari calvo, con un naso prominente, occhi sporgenti... – mentre alle donne è richiesto di rispettare precisi canoni estetici e di apparire sempre giovani e attraenti? È una domanda per la quale non abbiamo una risposta soddisfacente. Una donna nasce, cresce e passa tutta la vita a tenersi alla larga dall'essere identificata come “brutta”: è la storia raccontata da Giulia Blasi in questo libro, una raccolta di saggi brevi che hanno l'esplosività di una serie di monologhi lucidi e affilati, a metà tra ferocia e risata.

Not many women can claim to have changed history, but Nafis Sadik set that goal in her youth, and change the world she did. Champion of Choice tells the remarkable story of how Sadik, born into a prominent Indian family in 1929, came to be the world’s foremost advocate for women’s health and reproductive rights, the first female director of a United Nations agency, and “one of the most powerful women in the world” (London Times).

Women of the American Revolution explores the trials of war and daily life for women in the United States during the War of Independence. What challenges were caused by the division within communities as some stayed loyal to the king and others became patriots? How much choice did women have as their loyalties were assumed to be that of their husbands or fathers? The lives of women of the American Revolution will be examined through an intimate look at some significant women of the era.

In this brave and thoughtful book, Max Robinson goes beyond the ‘before' and ‘after' of the transition she underwent and takes us through the processes that led her, first, to transition in an attempt to get relief from her distress, and then to detransition as she discovered feminist thought and community.

De las muchas criaturas fabulosas que han poblado la literatura y el cine, la mujer fatal es una de las más recurrentes y proteicas de los dos últimos siglos, si bien forma parte de una antigua estirpe que se remonta hasta la inconstante Helena clásica que motivó la guerra de Troya o la temeraria Eva bíblica que condenó a la humanidad entera.

Warum wir selbst über unseren Namen und unser Geschlecht entscheiden können sollten. Vor fünf Jahren hatte Linus Giese sein Coming out als trans Mann. Weil er sich traute, öffentlich darüber zu sprechen, erntete er Hass – und überwältigenden Zuspruch, insbesondere von jungen Menschen. Mit seinem neuen Buch möchte er ihnen etwas zurückgeben und Mut machen für die Zukunft. Trans Menschen erleben Diskriminierung im Alltag und auch strukturell, auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, im Gesundheitswesen, durch das Transsexuellengesetz, das als verfassungswidrig eingestuft wurde.

As we grow and move through the world, it shrinks us and puts us in boxes - tells us who we should be, what we're capable of, and who to love. As a queer child of immigrants, Maria Thattil knows what it is like to struggle with belonging. To have confusing, disparate identities, none of them fitting traditional ideas of worth, power or success. In Unbounded, she shares galvanising stories of what she has lived and learned through experiencing racism, sexism, financial hardship, intergenerational trauma, homophobia and mental health challenges.

Perché ci piace guardare una donna crollare? Cosa ci attrae della sua vulnerabilità? È uno spettacolo a cui siamo abituati e da cui con difficoltà distogliamo lo sguardo. Questo saggio potente e appassionato ci apre le porte di una galleria degli orrori in cui celebrità di ogni epoca, da Charlotte Brontë a Miley Cyrus, da Britney Spears a Hillary Clinton, hanno scontato la colpa di non aver rispettato i limiti che la cultura patriarcale aveva imposto alle loro vite.

Fern Brady was told she couldn't be autistic because she's had loads of boyfriends and is good at eye contact. This is a story of how being female can get in the way of being autistic and how being autistic gets in the way of being the 'right kind' of woman.

The idea that medicine is gender-neutral is a myth. This isn't inflammatory rhetoric; it's simply true. From the way pain is felt, to how heart attacks are diagnosed, to the very role society plays in the health of the body, the medical landscape in place today is one that was designed for, and by, men. This audiobook is about all the ways medicine is not gender-neutral, from research to treatment to diagnosis. Throughout history, flawed mindsets have paved the way for sub-par treatment, and the prevailing attitudes that exist today have had terrible repercussions for women.

When Camonghne Felix goes through a monumental breakup, culminating in a hospital stay, everything—from her early childhood trauma and mental health to her relationship with mathematics—shows up in the tapestry of her healing. In this exquisite and raw reflection, Felix repossesses herself through the exploration of history she’d left behind, using her childhood “dyscalculia”—a disorder that makes it difficult to learn math—as a metaphor for the consequences of her miscalculations in love.

“This is one of those stories that begins with a female body. Hers was crumpled, roadside, in the ash-colored slush between asphalt and snowbank.” So begins Erica Berry’s kaleidoscopic exploration of wolves, both real and symbolic. At the center of this lyrical inquiry is the legendary OR-7, who roams away from his familial pack in northeastern Oregon. While charting OR-7’s record-breaking journey out of the Wallowa Mountains, Erica simultaneously details her own coming-of-age as she moves away from home and wrestles with inherited beliefs about fear, danger, femininity, and the body.

Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition - a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely - regardless of how we identify – but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It’s what binds us, not what separates us.

Amy knew the climb was harder and longer for women. Tough, determined, and focused on her career, she persevered. Yet she didn't anticipate how gender barriers in male dominated systems could wear women down—even her. Amy was among women making bold career changes in 2021. Infinitely More is her journey to understand why. Amy’s story is an intriguing, thought-provoking, and heart-opening discovery of how a warrior career mom was lured into believing she could win over the system and beat the odds.

Warum kam man erst im späten 20. Jahrhundert auf die Idee, Räder unter Reisekoffer zu montieren - obwohl es das Rad schon seit fünftausend Jahren gibt? Wären wir womöglich nie auf den Mond gelangt ohne das Wissen amerikanischer Näherinnen? Und wie sähe eigentlich eine Welt aus, in der Frauen genauso viel Gehör finden wie Männer? Die schwedische Bestsellerautorin Katrine Marçal zeigt mit viel Verve, was die Menschheit über die Jahrhunderte verloren (oder erst viel später erfunden) hat, weil eine Hälfte von ihr - die Frauen - nicht mitreden, mitbestimmen, miterfinden durfte.
