Back in 2005, the first edition of Why Gender Matters broke ground in illuminating the differences between boys and girls—how they perceive the world differently, how they learn differently, how they process emotions and take risks differently. Dr. Sax argued that in failing to recognize these hardwired differences between boys and girls, we ended up reinforcing damaging stereotypes, medicalizing misbehavior, and failing to help kids to reach their full potential.

لقد كان هذا المجتمع المصري يحيا على الرجال وحدهم. وكانت المرأة، المضروب عليها الحجاب، تعيش بين أربعة جدران في المنزل، تختبئ وراء الأبواب والشبابيك. ولكن هذا التعليم الذي أخذت به فتياتنا في مراحله الثلاث، الابتدائية والثانوية والعليا، قد نقل المرأة المصرية إلى مستوى رفيع يقسر الرجل على احترامها ويقسرنا جميعًا على تغيير القوانين الجائرة التي أذلتها.

At its core, an economy is about providing goods and services for human well-being.

In this impassioned and perceptive work, Julie A. Nelson asks...

«С такой фигурой это лучше не надевать». «Талия у вас проблемная зона». «Она хорошо выглядит для своего возраста». Женщине все время дают понять: с ее телом что-то не так, его нужно улучшать, контролировать, исправлять. Философ Анастасия Торопова исследует, как культура, идеология и экономика формируют представление о нормальном теле: от древнегреческой женщины как «слабого мужчины» и корсета как инструмента социального неравенства до Ким Кардашьян как идеального тела общества потребления.

Despite being one of the leading thinkers of the second wave feminist movement, today Shere Hite is little known, little written about, and, unsurprisingly, little read. Her groundbreaking book, The Hite Report, was the first feminist exploration of the link between sex and male power. It sold millions of copies when first published in 1976 and revolutionized the way people thought about marriage and the female orgasm. How, then, did it, and Hite, disappear from public consciousness?

In Women Money Power, business journalist Josie Cox tells the story of women’s fight for freedom and economic equality. This is an inspirational account of brave pioneers who took on social mores and the law, including the “Rosies,” who filled industrial jobs and helped win World War II, the heiress whose fortune helped create the birth control pill, the brassy banker who broke into the boys’ club of the New York Stock Exchange, and the namesake of landmark equal-pay legislation who refused to accept discrimination.

There is an obesity epidemic in this country, and poor Black women are particularly stigmatized as "diseased" and a burden on the public health-care system. This is only the most recent incarnation of the fear of fat Black women, which Sabrina Strings shows took root more than 200 years ago. 

„Sisterhood statt Stutenbissigkeit" räumt auf mit dem hartnäckigen Mythos, Frauen seien sich gegenseitig die größten Gegnerinnen. Und ja – es schaut auch ehrlich auf die Dynamiken, die wir lieber verdrängen: Neid, Konkurrenz, stille Vergleiche, passiv-aggressive Spitzen. Dieses Buch geht dorthin, wo es oft unbequem wird: in den Job, in Freundschaften, in Familien, in Netzwerke. Mit klugen Analysen, echten Geschichten, überraschenden Aha-Momenten und einer guten Portion Humor lädt dieses Buch dazu ein, vertraute Reflexe zu hinterfragen und neue Wege zu gehen.

Il est temps de réinventer le travail. On a répété à l'envi que le travail serait un refuge, un moyen pour les femmes de s'extirper de leur rôle assigné de mère et d'épouse, de gagner leur argent, leur liberté, de trouver leur place dans la société… De devenir, en somme, grâce à la sueur de leur front, les égales des hommes. Et si tout cela n'était qu'une grande illusion ? Le monde du travail n'est pas un espace neutre, un tremplin méritocratique ou égalitaire. C'est un monde construit par et pour les hommes, dont les règles du jeu garantissent le maintien de leurs privilèges.

The Judgment of Gender addresses the ways in which women are centered, while simultaneously silenced, in popular culture and, all too often, maligned for simply being women. The text focuses on key areas and times where women are highlighted as "problematic," including a generational legacy of...

Die Autorin und Feministin Hedwig Dohm entlarvt in diesem Essay die scheinwissenschaftlichen Begründungen für weibliche Bildungsbenachteiligung – pointiert, ironisch und analytisch scharf. Dohm plädiert für gleiches Bildungsrecht und stellt die Frage nicht nur, ob Frauen dürfen – sondern ob sie können und sollen. Ihr Text ist ein Aufruf zu Selbstbestimmung, geistiger Unabhängigkeit und zur Überwindung gesellschaftlicher Rollenzwänge.

We spoke up. We took charge. We asked for more. But where has it actually left us? Not only are generations of women more burnt out than ever, but the gender pay gap has barely budged in decades. In The Ambition Penalty, journalist Stefanie O'Connell presents a deeply researched and sometimes...
