En las viejas mansiones de Constitución hoy convertidas en hoteles para pobres, se amontonan migrantes, trans y trabajadores precarizados. En ese barrio está ubicada la Casa Roja, sede gremial, hogar y trinchera por donde se cruzan y despliegan las vidas de putas. Aquí, Georgina Orellano denuncia la tensión permanente con la policía, las instituciones—incluidas las que se acercan a "ayudar"—y los vecinos que quieren "limpiar" la zona. Escritas con una ternura y un humor a prueba de tragedias, cuentan al detalle el narcomenudeo, la enfermedad, la intemperie.

In elf ehrlichen und emotionalen Briefen wendet sich Nathalie Klüver an alle Mütter, die ihre Töchter stärken wollen. Dieses Buch übersetzt das Weltgeschehen ins Persönliche, verbindet Fakten mit gesellschaftlicher Analyse und gibt konkrete Impulse für den Alltag. So zeigt es, wie aus weiblicher Wut Zuversicht werden kann – und wie wir unseren Kindern eine starke Haltung mit auf den Weg geben.

Wir kennen sie: Männer, die ihre Gefühle nicht zeigen können – oder nicht wollen. Wenn ihre Emotionen sichtbar werden, dann oft als Wut, Freude und Stolz, aber nur selten als Trauer, Zweifel oder verletzliche Liebe. Frauen und Queers beklagen, dass sie die emotionale Arbeit übernehmen, die Männer ihnen, sich selbst und einander verweigern. Doch auch Männer zahlen dafür einen hohen Preis: Sie leiden unter sozialer Einsamkeit, oberflächlichen Freundschaften und überdurchschnittlich hohen Suizidraten.

Frauen im Internet stehen unter ständiger Beobachtung. Sophie Passmann ist selbst Teil der widersprüchlichen Welt weiblicher Selbstdarstellung in den sozialen Medien. Radikal selbstkritisch seziert sie die Phänomene, die eine ganze Generation prägen: von der asketischen Disziplin einer Hailey Bieber über die kalkulierte Görenhaftigkeit von Charli XCX bis zur neurotischen Perfektion von Taylor Swift. Warum sind wir alle so fasziniert von Frauen, die uns etwas vormachen – und gleichzeitig hassen wir sie genau dafür?

This acclaimed, accessible, and thoroughly researched biography documents the life of Ann Lee, a controversial, religious leader and early feminist figure. Lee established the Shaker movement in 1770 in Manchester, England. The core principles of the Shakers were radical: in an era when wives were the possession of their husband, Lee proclaimed the equality of men and women. The Shakers were dedicated to beliefs in absolute pacifism, equality of the sexes, absolute celibacy, and the cleansing of sin through dancing and chanting to shake away the past.
