"Le donne si sentono libere?" si chiede Naomi Wolf nell'introduzione a questo classico del pensiero femminista. Analizzando ed elaborando il concetto di bellezza, Wolf compie un percorso provocatorio e appassionato attraverso le varie fasi della vita di una donna: dal lavoro al sesso, dalla cultura all'alimentazione, dal rapporto con gli uomini a quello con le altre donne. Il mito della bellezza torna in una nuova edizione con una curatela di Maura Gancitano e Jennifer Guerra, intellettuali e filosofe femministe.

All over the world, Black and racialized women engage in the solidarity economy through what is known as mutual aid financing. Formally referred to as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), these institutions are purposefully informal to support the women’s livelihoods and social needs, and they act to reject tiered forms of neo-liberal development. The Banker Ladies–a term coined by women in the Black diaspora–are individuals that voluntarily organize ROSCAs for self-sufficiency and are intentional in their politicized economic co-operation to counter business exclusion.

We live in a new age of beauty. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, walk-in treatments, augmented reality face filters, photo editing apps, and exposure to more images than ever, we have the ability to craft the image we want everyone to see. We pinch, pull, squeeze, tweeze, smooth and slice ourselves beyond recognition. But is our beauty culture truly empowering? Are we really in control? In Pixel Flesh, Ellen Atlanta holds a mirror up to our modern beauty ideal, as well as the pressure to present a perfect image, to live in an age of constant comparison and curated feeds.

Women are expected to be many things. They should be creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile, feminine and self-reliant, not barren, butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.

Desató un deseo dormido: hablar. Quien calla es un cómplice en el cuento, de ahí nace este libro. Las historias son para contarse y así cobrar vida propia. En este práctico y profundo libro, Ana Goffin nos enseña que, aunque la adversidad toca nuestras vidas, siempre es posible salir adelante. La violencia contra las mujeres en México y Latinoamérica es un problema aún severo, mismo que se agudiza en el panorama internacional de la crisis del COVID-19—entre enfermedad, dificul—tades económicas y miedo.

En este libro, Catalina Ruiz-Navarro, una de las voces más destacadas de este movimiento en Latinoamérica, recorre, a partir de un testimonio profundamente honesto y agudo, un camino que aborda el cuerpo, el poder, la violencia, el sexo, la lucha activista y el amor. A su vez, once heroínas, entre las que se cuentan María Cano, Flora Tristán, Hermila Galindo y Violeta Parra, bellamente retratadas por Luisa Castellanos, alzan la voz y evidencian que hablar de feminismos es necesario, es importante, es la resistencia.

Todos quisiéramos soluciones fáciles, respuestas digeribles y sencillas. Padecemos uno de los más grandes males cocinados desde comienzos del siglo XX, pero que alcanzó su punto en el siglo XXI: la inmediatez. No existen claves para saltar los procesos de aprendizaje, el confrontarnos y comprender cómo el universo no conspira para resolvernos todo. “¡Pero si soy único y merezco que las teorías de toda la humanidad sean ajustadas a mis deseos!” Por desgracia, nada es así.

El reflejo de la lucha callada, ante el machismo, de millones de mujeres en todo el mundo, desde la óptica particular de Marge Simpson. Yo estaré aquí para auparte, sostenerte y para sacrificarme. Yo, que ya he asumido mi papel. Yo, que no estoy dispuesta a que repitas mis errores. Yo, que quiero que tú, Lisa, seas lo que a mí no me dejaron ser: autónoma, independiente, una mujer del siglo XXI. Que si quiere llorar, llora; que si quiere gritar, grita. Que debe gritar. Y sonreír únicamente cuando de verdad quiere hacerlo.

As Daphné B. obsessively watches YouTube makeup tutorials and haunts Sephora’s website, she’s increasingly troubled by the ways in which this obsession contradicts her anti-capitalist and intersectional feminist politics. In this poetic treatise, she rejects the false binaries of traditional beauty standards and delves into the celebrities and influencers who have shaped the reflection she sees in the mirror. At once confessional and essayistic, Made-Up is a meditation on the makeup that colors, that obscures, that highlights who we are and who we wish we could be.

In early 2018, Erin Darcy created an online art project, "In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth", to safely and anonymously share private stories of the real and devastating impact of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland. In the five months leading up to the referendum on abortion, the project asked a simple question of undecided voters: put yourself in her shoes. Within weeks, Erin was receiving hundreds of stories from a broad spectrum of experiences of planned and unplanned terminations.

La tecnología tiene un papel determinante en lo cotidiano: el trabajo, la educación y la vida social. Pero es un área profundamente desigual para las mujeres. La disparidad comienza en la infancia—a las niñas les regalan una cocinita y a los niños, videojuegos—y continúa durante la escolarización, la formación profesional, la capacitación, en el ambiente laboral o cuando deciden emprender. Chicas en Tecnología® es una invitación a reiniciar el sistema, a que las mujeres consideren a la tecnología como una aliada para mejorar el mundo.

Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.

For centuries, opera has used women’s voices to convey male stories. Within an art form dominated by men, the female voice is a means to an end: controlled, denatured, and crafted to carry words and intentions that belie the true depth and complexity of the female experience. Here, author and opera singer Fides Krucker shows listeners what it means to find—and use—our authentic voice, to sing wildly and uninhibited from the depths of our bodies and spirits.
