A partir de estos interrogantes, y otros muchos, Nuria Varela repasa tres siglos de hacer y deshacer el mundo, de alumbrar teorías, propuestas y liderazgos fascinantes, y narra la aventura de una agitación social que ningún otro movimiento ha conseguido mantener durante tanto tiempo.

Teoría King Kong es uno de los grandes libros de referencia del feminismo y de la teoría de género, un incisivo ensayo en el que Despentes comparte su propia experiencia para hablarnos sin tapujos ni concesiones sobre la prostitución, la violación, la represión del deseo, la maternidad y la pornografía, y para contribuir al derrumbe de los cimientos patriarcales de la sociedad actual.

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. The objectification of women has unfortunately been something that we are subjected to every day, whether we realize it or not. However, many people don’t realize the dangers of these thought processes. In this audiobook, we’ll go over the various ways that the male gaze can do harm to women as a whole, as well as the people fighting against this endless objectification.

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.

La conquista de la igualdad es un proceso en marcha. En pleno siglo XXI, esa igualdad se acepta con normalidad en los países democráticos, pero aún quedan obstáculos que salvar, como la violencia de género y la creciente ola reaccionaria que pone en duda los avances y ambiciones del feminismo.

Reporteras, poetas, académicas, artistas, documentalistas, fotógrafas, escritoras, investigadoras. Somos compañeras que caminamos juntas desde hace una década. Nuestra intención ha sido contar la violencia desde el cuerpo de las mujeres. La entendemos, a esa violencia, como una piedra que cae en un lago. Como ondas que se expanden, que avanzan en el espacio, cada vez más sutiles, silenciosas.

The wisdom goddesses of yoga who embody shakti, or sacred energy, continue to gain popularity as we become familiar with the ways they help us break through negativity, trauma, and dysfunction to attain self-love, peace, and abundance. Yet, we rarely hear about Sri Radha and her unique position as the primal Shakti because she is hidden deep within the Upanishads, Tantras, and Puranas as their most confidential spiritual subject.

Pioneering Chinese American actress Anna May Wong made more than 60 films, headlined theater and vaudeville productions, and even starred in her own television show. Her work helped shape racial modernity, as she embodied the dominant image of Chinese, and more generally, “Oriental” women between 1925 and 1940. In Anna May Wong, Shirley Jennifer Lim re-evaluates Wong’s life and work as a consummate artist, and positions the actress as a historical and cultural entrepreneur who rewrote categories of representation.

Como en otros campos, la historia de la ciencia ha asignado a las mujeres el lugar que se presuponía que les correspondía desde una perspectiva exclusivamente masculina, a menudo incurriendo en afirmaciones y teorías destinadas a invisibilizar o directamente inventar temas relacionados con su cuerpo, salud o capacidades. Aunque la presencia cada vez mayor de mujeres en la ciencia no sea condición exclusiva de una mejor ciencia, es necesaria para que se puedan reformular preguntas, se cuestionen valores hegemónicos y se encuentren nuevas prioridades.

Women are pursuing their health like never before. Whether it’s juicing, biohacking, clutching crystals, or sipping collagen, today there is something for everyone, as the wellness industry has grown from modest roots into a $4.4 trillion entity and a full-blown movement promising health and vitality in the most fashionable package. But why suddenly are we all feeling so unwell? The truth is that deep within the underbelly of self-care—hidden beneath layers of clever marketing—wellness beckons with a far stronger, more seductive message than health alone.

A 123 anni dalla loro prima pubblicazione, le parole accorate di Anna Kuliscioff restano drammaticamente attuali. Si parla delle innumerevoli, ingiustificate disparità uomo-donna (compresa la disparità di salario a parità di mansione) e di tutte le loro conseguenze nefaste. Non solo sulla vita delle donne, ma sul funzionamento della società tutta. Una chiave di lettura così moderna, quella di Anna Kuliscioff, che permette anche d'inquadrare anche le nuove misoginie dei giorni nostri: bodyshaming, pornrevenge, nuovi movimenti anti-abortisti, femminicidio.

Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them. This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.

1542. A French noblewoman is left abandoned on a small island north of Nova Scotia. She has a crossbow, arquebuses and gunpowder. The island is populated only by wild beasts. She may be pregnant at this time. Centuries later, whilst mothering her young children, a woman begins writing what she believes to be a television script about the life of Marguerite de la Rocque and her incredible story of survival against the odds. As she draws closer to the nature of Marguerite, the woman begins to question her ability to tell this story.
