The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term intersectional environmentalism, this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work toward the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet.

In many societies, a woman is still regarded as a second-class citizen and deprived of basic rights enjoyed by the male population. Resenting this discrimination, they have championed a fight to obtain equal status, which unfortunately to date eludes them in the more modern Western states. Whereas the pendulum has swung to the extremes and has opened the way to licentiousness in the modern society, the West has often regarded Islamic women as being backward in a male-dominated world. On the contrary, Islam was the first religion formally to grant the women a status never known before.

Award-winning gender and sexuality scholar Lillian Faderman traces the evolution of the meaning from Puritan ideas of God’s plan for women to the sexual revolution of the 1960s and its reversals to the impact of such recent events as #metoo, the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the election of Kamala Harris as vice president, and the transgender movement.

Studying zoology made Lucy Cooke feel like a sad freak. Not because she loved spiders or would root around in animal feces: All her friends shared the same curious kinks. The problem was her sex. Being female meant she was, by nature, a loser. Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that the males of the animal kingdom are the interesting ones—dominating and promiscuous, while females are dull, passive, and devoted. But Cooke tells a new story.

Feminists have long challenged the ways in which men tend to sexualize women. But pioneering activist, biologist, and trans woman Julia Serano argues that sexualization is a far more pervasive problem, as it’s something that we all do to other people, often without being aware of it.

This book is for and about the women who kicked in doors, as pioneers of their craft or making politics central to their sound: those who offer a new way of thinking about the vast spectrum of women in music. In this radical departure from the historic narrative of music and music writing being written by men, for men, This Woman’s Work challenges the male dominance and sexism that have been hard-coded in the canons of music, literature, and film and has forced women to fight pigeon-holing or being side-lined by carving out their own space.

In Jezebel Unhinged Tamura Lomax traces the use of the jezebel trope in the Black church and in Black popular culture, showing how it is pivotal to reinforcing men's cultural and institutional power to discipline and define Black girlhood and womanhood. Drawing on writing by medieval thinkers and travelers, Enlightenment theories of race, the commodification of women's bodies under slavery, and the work of Tyler Perry and Bishop T. D. Jakes, Lomax shows how Black women are written into religious and cultural history as sites of sexual deviation.

Are you spinning multiple plates at once? Mother, wife, employee, cook, cleaner, project manager, taxi driver, homeschool teacher? If it’s actually possible for women to have it all, as society assures us it is, then why do we feel like we are failing? All over the world, women shoulder most of the responsibilities of parenting and managing a home, even when both partners are in paid employment. The better they do this job, the more invisible it becomes. Failure to both recognize and value the Invisible Job is at the heart of today’s gender imbalance.

Narrado por la autora y sexóloga Sonia Encinas, Feminidad salvaje nos invita a abrir una caja de Pandora que lleva demasiado tiempo enterrada y a unirnos a una revolución que no necesita ni pancartas ni barricadas. Esta tiene lugar en lo más íntimo, en nuestra propia cama, en nuestro propio cuerpo, en nuestros propios ritmos sexuales y en la definición propia de la feminidad. Se trata de una sublevación ante lo que nos dijeron que debíamos ser y de una transformación que nos conecta con nuestra esencia más salvaje, aquello que no podemos (ni debemos) domar.

Esta Historia de las mujeres responde a la necesidad de ceder la palabra a las mujeres. Alejadas, desde la Antigüedad, del escenario donde se enfrentan a los dueños del destino, reconstruir su historia significa describir su lento acceso a los medios de expresión y su conversión en persona que asume un papel protagonista. Este análisis implica, asimismo, que las relaciones entre los sexos condicionan los acontecimientos, o la evolución de las sociedades. No se buscan conclusiones tajantes sino que las mujeres encuentren, al fin, su espacio propio.

The Male Gaze: Something we continuously see in media, psychology, and our everyday lives.

In unserer Gesellschaft wird Weiblichkeit gleichgesetzt mit Fürsorglichkeit. Frauen sind, ob in der Familie, in Beziehungen oder im Beruf, zuständig für emotionale Zuwendung, für Harmonie, Trost und Beziehungsarbeit - für Tätigkeiten also, die unsichtbar sind und kaum Anerkennung oder Bezahlung erfahren. Sie "schulden" anderen - der Familie, den Männern, der Öffentlichkeit, dem Arbeitsplatz - ihre Aufmerksamkeit, ihre Liebe, ihre Zuwendung, ihre Attraktivität, ihre Zeit. Und kämpfen jeden Tag gegen emotionale und sexuelle Verfügbarkeitserwartungen.
