Unregulated capitalism is bad for women. Socialism, if done properly, leads to economic independence, better labour conditions, better work/family balance and, yes, even better sex. If you like the idea of such outcomes, then come along for an exploration of how we can change women's lives for the better.

En 1988, los detectives del Departamento de Policía de Sacramento, fueron llamados para investigar la desaparición de un hombre en su última dirección conocida: una casa de huéspedes para ancianos, indigentes y enfermos mentales. La propietaria, Dorothea Puente, era una adorable anciana que cuidaba de los vagabundos y del resto de los náufragos de la sociedad. ¿Estaban perdiendo el tiempo persiguiendo a una anciana encantadora y caritativa o se estaban acercando a una asesina encubierta que explotaba a los miembros más vulnerables de la sociedad?

Emerging from the intersection of pandemic and uprising, The Déjà Vu activates forms both new and ancestral, drawing movement, speech, and lyric essay into performance memoir. As Civil considers Haitian tourist paintings, dance rituals, race at the movies, black feminist legacies, and more, she reflects on her personal losses and desires, speculates on black time, and dreams into expansive black life.

En debatbog, hvori forfatter Jannie Helle fremstiller den provokerende tese, at kvinden har bevæget sig væk fra sin sande kvindelighed, som består i følsomhed, indre ro og evnen til at drage omsorg for andre. Der sættes derfor spot på det moderne kvindeliv som hektisk og utilfredsstillende. Hvert kapitel afsluttes med en række spørgsmål til eftertanke. Jannie Helle, 1959-2010, dansk læge og forfatter. Hun var især kendt som redaktør af brevkasser i flere magasiner samt fra tv-programmet Eleva2ren.

La filosofía nos enseña que lo importante son las preguntas que nos hacemos, siempre que formulemos bien nuestros interrogantes y nos preguntemos por el fundamento de nuestros proyectos. La ética, por su parte es una invitación a ponerse en el lugar de los demás, y sucede que hasta ahora los hombres no se han puesto en el lugar de las mujeres. Con ellas ha valido casi todo: desde borrar su nombre y su historia hasta la violencia sexual.

En killjoy er ikke bange for at udpege den sexisme, vold og racisme, der findes overalt i vores samfund. Og en killjoy nægter at se til i tavshed for at bevare den gode stemning. I "Killjoy manifest" opstiller feminist Sara Ahmed ti principper eller viljeserklæringer for hvad en killjoy vil (gøre eller være) eller ikke vil (gøre eller være). Sidste del af bogen består af et overlevelseskit for killjoys. Sara Ahmed (f. 1969) er en britisk-australsk akademiker og aktivist.

"Jeg plasker naturligvis ikke bare lige ud i bølgerne. Jeg skal gå og finde ud af, hvor det ser ud til at være sikkert. Strømmen skifter, så det er ikke det samme sted hver dag. Men selv om faren er reel og havet skræmmende, så er det også dragende. Og det hører med, at jeg skal være alene. Det er afgørende. Vigtige øjeblikke kan jeg ikke godt dele med nogen." - Jytte Borberg Lise Johnsen har interviewet 14 kendte danske kvinder, der åbenhjertigt deler ud af deres livserfaring, holdninger og indsigt.

Ella Baker, Alice B. Toklas, Hannah Arendt, Octavia Butler, Agnes Varda, Elizabeth David, Edna Lewis, Maya Angelou, Laurie Colwin: these smart, engaging, revolutionary, and creative twentieth-century women were all profoundly influenced by their own relationships to food, drink, and other elements of sustenance.

"On nous a appris que l'histoire avait un sens et que, concernant les femmes, elle allait d'un état de servitude totale vers une libération complète, comme si la marche vers l'égalité était un processus naturel. Ce n'est pas exact. On a travesti les faits." De tout temps, les femmes ont agi. Elles ont régné, écrit, milité, créé, combattu, crié parfois. Et pourtant elles sont pour la plupart absentes des manuels d'histoire. Pourquoi ce grand oubli ?

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»

Black Women and Public Health creates an urgently needed interdisciplinary dialogue about issues of race, gender, and health. An enduring history of racism, sexism, and dehumanization of Black women's bodies has largely rendered the health needs of the Black community inaudible and invisible. Grounded in the lived experiences and expertise of Black women, this collection bridges gaps between researchers, practitioners, educators, and advocates.

Le forme di violenza esercitate nel Medioevo contro le donne compongono un catalogo impressionante: percosse in nome del diritto del marito a "correggere" la moglie, del padre a costringere e punire la figlia, del padrone a battere la serva; ingiurie connesse al comportamento femminile; stupri, segregazioni, omicidi in nome dell'onore tradito; spoliazione di beni, a partire dalle eredità e dalle doti; matrimoni e monacazioni forzate; manipolazione delle coscienze e violenze inquisitoriali; maltrattamenti, prevaricazione e discriminazione nel mondo del lavoro.

Do you have a “ride or die chick” in your life? A “ride or die chick” is a Black woman who holds down her family and community. She’s that friend or family member that you can call up in the middle of the night to bail you out of jail, if ever needed, and you know she’ll show up and won’t ask any questions. She does anything for her family, friends, and significant other, even at the cost of her own well-being. “No” is not in her vocabulary. She’s beloved by you and many others, but her ride or die trope becomes a problem when she does it indiscriminately.
