First published in 1915, The Voyage Out marked the literary debut of one of the great pioneers of the modern novel. Virginia Woolf's extraordinary narrative follows a group of lively, eccentric British tourists embarking on a sea voyage from London to South America. Among them is Rachel Vinrace, a shy, motherless young woman who has been taken along under the wing of her Aunt Helen, so that she may learn "how to live".

From the author of Enemy Feminisms and Abolish the Family , an original diagnosis of femmephobia in our culture, and a vision of a life-giving femme feminism for all. To be femme is to embody a dispossessed femininity, to be freighted with freedom, to refuse to be made proper or institutionalized. To love it is to embrace love for women (be they butch or not) in the broadest sense.

Whether we are contending with shame, healing from trauma, or experimenting in the bedroom, there is a common tendency to cast anything sexual as a problem best solved in private. Fears of judgment fuel an air of oppression around something that should be liberating. According to feminist sociologist Angela Jones, we must reject this solitary vision of desire to claim the pleasure fundamental to our freedom.

A classic work of feminist scholarship, Ain't I a Woman has become a must for all those interested in the nature of Black womanhood. Examining the impact of sexism on Black women during slavery, the devaluation of black womanhood, black male sexism, racism among feminists, and the black woman's involvement with feminism, hooks attempts to move us beyond racist and sexist assumptions. The result is nothing short of groundbreaking, giving this work a critical place in every feminist scholar's library. 

Smart, sassy, and unapologetically feminine, In Praise of Difficult Women is an ode to the bold and charismatic women of modern history.

Their lives provide inspiration and instruction for the new age of feminism we have entered. Karbo distills these lessons with wit and humor, examining the universal themes that connect us to each of these mesmerizing personalities today.

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.

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. 

No single invention epitomizes the Victorian era more than the black cast-iron range. Aware that the 21st-century has reduced it to a quaint relic, Ruth Goodman was determined to prove that the hot coal stove provided so much more than morning tea: It might even have kick-started the Industrial Revolution. Wielding the wit and passion seen in How to Be a Victorian, Goodman traces the tectonic shift from wood to coal in the mid-16th century - from sooty trials and errors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the totally smog-clouded reign of Queen Victoria. 

Il sangue matto è la paura di impazzire, di sragionare all’improvviso in casa, al lavoro, per strada, nel bel mezzo di certe giornate nere che si fatica persino a raccontare a se stesse. È il corpo che si macchia di rosso, è la difficoltà a vivere normalmente almeno sette giorni al mese. È il lutto, il fallimento e il disgusto per non riuscire ad essere madri come la natura femminile vorrebbe. Eppure le donne non si arrendono, e provano a raccontarlo e a raccontarsi, cercano con ostinazione il mesSaggio nascosto dentro la sofferenza.

«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.

„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.
