At the height of the Great Depression, Sam Babb, the charismatic basketball coach of tiny Oklahoma Presbyterian College, began dreaming. Like so many others, he wanted a reason to have hope. Traveling from farm to farm, he recruited talented, hardworking young women and offered them a chance at a better life: a free college education if they would come play for his basketball team, the Cardinals. Despite their fears of leaving home and the sacrifices faced by their families, the women followed Babb and his dream.

Three works of fiction, two by Mary Wollstonecraft, and one by her daughter Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein. In Mary Wollstonecraft's Mary, the heroine flees her young husband in order to nurse her dearest friend, Ann, and finds genuine love, while Maria tells of a desperate young woman who seeks consolation in the arms of another man after the loss of her child. And Mary Shelley's Matilda - suppressed for more than a century - tells the story of a woman alienated from society by the incestuous passion of her father.

Warum Frauengesundheit nicht mehr ignoriert werden darf. Von der Verhütung, Geburten über die Periode bis hin zur Menopause – Beschwerden, die den weiblichen Körper betreffen, werden immer noch zu wenig beachtet, oft bagatellisiert oder missverstanden. So verwundert es nicht, dass lediglich vier Prozent der gesamten Forschung im Gesundheitswesen auf das Wohl von Frauen ausgerichtet sind – mit negativen Folgen für die weibliche Gesundheit und letztlich zum Schaden für die gesamte Gesellschaft. Umso wichtiger ist es, mit den vorherrschenden Tabus zu brechen und Innovationen im Bereich Frauengesundheit zu fördern.

Publicado en 1869, La esclavitud femenina abordó con valentía el problema de la desigualdad entre los sexos, definiéndolo como «uno de los principales obstáculos para el progreso de la humanidad». En opinión de John Stuart Mill, que publicó este tratado cuando las mujeres de su país no podían votar ni disponer de bienes, alcanzar una «igualdad perfecta» en materia legal y social era indispensable para una sociedad más justa, y no cabe duda de que su libro contribuyó a crearla al desmontar con implacable lógica el endeble argumentario de quienes favorecían la opresión histórica de la mujer.

In Black Trans Feminism Marquis Bey offers a meditation on blackness and gender nonnormativity in ways that recalibrate traditional understandings of each. Theorizing black trans feminism from the vantages of abolition and gender radicality, Bey articulates blackness as a mutiny against racializing categorizations; transness as a nonpredetermined, wayward, and deregulated movement that works toward gender's destruction; and black feminism as an epistemological method to fracture hegemonic modes of racialized gender.

In America, lipstick is the foundation of empires; it’s a signature of identity; it’s propaganda, self-expression, oppression, freedom, and rebellion. It’s a multibillion-dollar industry and one of our most iconic accessories of gender. This engaging and entertaining history of lipstick from the colonies to the present day will give listeners a new view of the little tube’s big place in modern America, from defining the middle class to building Fortune 500 businesses to being present at Stonewall and being engineered for space travel.

Women have been instrumental in the success of American cinema since its very beginning. One of the first people to ever pick up a motion picture camera was a woman, as was the first screenwriter to win two Academy Awards, the inventor of the boom microphone, and the first person to be credited with the title film editor. Throughout the entire history of Hollywood women have been revolutionizing, innovating, and shaping how we make movies. Yet their stories are rarely shared. This is what film reporter Alicia Malone wants to change. Backwards and in Heels tells the history of women in film in a different way.

Derrière ce titre ironique, Roxane Gay développe une réflexion révolutionnaire et bienvenue sur l'état actuel du féminisme. Lassée des prises de position parfois trop clivantes de certaines organisations féministes, elle rappelle que la défense de l'égalité des sexes ne dispense pas d'assumer ses contradictions. On peut aimer la télé-réalité, se peindre les ongles en rose et revendiquer le fait d'être féministe.

OVARIAN REBOOT Even if you're a morning person, the ovary's biological clock starts ticking way too early. Before that very first ovulation, your egg count is already silently slipping away. It's so unfair! But what if there were a way to turn that clock back, to 'reboot' hormones to younger...

This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra - women who ruled with real power - and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today. Female rulers are a rare phenomenon - but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office?

Set against the backdrop of a world and society in turmoil during the various revolutions across the globe, and written before the term “feminism” had become popularized, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is a treatise that explains the ways in which women were mistreated and marginalized. Specifically, this explication was writing to respond to a particular popular idea of the time: that women were unsuited for getting their own educations and were better off living private, quiet lives in service of husbands.

In a world in which all the old certainties seem to be crumbling, it's hard not to feel we have lost our way. Long before they became bywords for people-pleasing princesses, these old stories – passed down to us through generations by our peasant ancestors – told us everything that women need to learn about the world. They teach us to be savvy, inspire us to grow in confidence, show us how to be bold and claim the future we dream of. They might be set in difficult and dangerous times, but they require their heroines to face the unfaceable and dig deep for previously unimagined inner resources.
