Women, Walking explores the broad spectrum of women’s experiences and perspectives on walking, from everyday strolls that let the mind breathe to ambitious journeys that test courage and resolve. Co-edited by Zahra Ebrahim and Jane Farrow, this anthology features thirty vignettes, essays, poems, and interviews, with contributors discussing identity, love, social connection, grief, and wonder. They each take us on a different path, but share common ground in highlighting the deep significance to be found in an ordinary walk.

Was heißt es heute, ein »richtiger Mann« zu sein? Riccardo Simonetti zeigt, wie unser Männerbild besonders in der Nachkriegszeit verengt wurde – obwohl Männlichkeit historisch oft anders gelebt wurde. Zwischen persönlichen Erfahrungen, Popkultur und gesellschaftlicher Analyse entlarvt er Rollenbilder als Konstruktion – und erklärt, warum sie Männern bis heute selbst schaden. Ein kluges, empowerndes Buch über moderne Männlichkeit und die Freiheit, sie neu zu definieren.

When Valena Beety first became a federal prosecutor, her goal was to protect victims, especially women, from cycles of violence. What she discovered was that not only did prosecutions often fail to help victims, they frequently relied on false information, forensic fraud, and police and prosecutor misconduct.

Siguiendo la huella de los canes cervantinos, Cipión y Berganza, y de las perras Fina y Franca de Rosario Ferré, Lina Meruane organiza en este ensayo-ficción su propio coloquio sobre las tensiones que asaltan a los feminismos contemporáneos. Sus perras callejeras –la vieja quiltra chilena «Lina» y la joven chucha española «Luna» –debaten qué implica la liberación de los cuerpos: tener o no crías, exaltar o no la desnudez, aceptar y practicar las transiciones de toda especie, e incluso legitimar el perreo vis a vis una violencia sexual, sicológica y simbólica.

But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another? In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis.
