Titoli in Studi sulla femminilità

In Marina Benjamin’s new set of interlinked essays, she turns her astute eye to the tasks once termed ‘women’s work’. From cooking and cleaning to caring for an ageing relative, A Little Give depicts domestic life anew: as a site of paradox and conflict, but also of solace and profound meaning. Here, productivity sits alongside self-erasure, resentment with tenderness, and the animal self is never far away, perpetually threatening to break through.

A manual for every woman who wants to stop endless negative self-talk, create unshakable confidence, and jump-start a life of joy and power. It all begins with your thoughts. I never look good in tight skirts. I can’t ask for a raise or my boss will think I’m greedy. I’m getting too old to...

Es gibt viele wichtige Bücher über Feminismus. Aber keine ihrer Autorinnen hat derart viele Leben gelebt wie Melissa Febos: glückliche Kindheit auf Cape Cod, mit zwanzig heroinabhängig, das Studium finanziert als Domina. Heute führt sie ein bürgerliches Leben und unterrichtet an der Universität. In "Girlhood" schließt Melissa Febos Memoir mit Theorie, Soziologie mit Poesie kurz und erkundet die Gemeinsamkeiten aller Lebensphasen.

Unsere gesamte Kulturgeschichte ist durchdrungen von Darstellungen idealtypischer Paarbeziehungen, die – direkt oder unterschwellig – eine weibliche Unterlegenheit inszenieren. Es sind Bilder, die suggerieren, dass die Frau nur durch Unterwerfung romantische Erfüllung erlangen kann. Diese gesellschaftliche Konditionierung impft Frauen und Männern die Überzeugung ein, dass Männern alles zusteht, während von Frauen Selbstlosigkeit und Hingabe erwartet werden. Durch das erzwungene Leugnen eigener Interessen, Bedürfnisse und Wünsche wird das Selbstvertrauen der Frauen untergraben.
