Titoli in Studi sulla femminilità

En una aldea remota, cuando una mujer enfermaba, no se le daba una medicina: se le daba una cuchara tallada por otras mujeres de la tribu y se le decía: “Hoy no cocinas tú. Hoy te alimentamos nosotras”. Pero un día la cuchara se perdió y, sin ella, las mujeres empezaron a dejar sus necesidades al último, a compararse, a competir, a hacerlo todo sin ayuda, a hablar a través de una pantalla. Nunca se habían sentido tan cansadas, insuficientes y solas.

As two-income families find themselves ever more time-poor, many look to outsource to cleaners, nannies, and care workers. More and more, it would seem, people are finding themselves without either the emotional or the financial resources to take care of themselves and each other. The home, rather than an escape from the work and its pressures, is in fact an extension of it. After Work is a crucial corrective to this trend, extending its attention beyond paid jobs to the impact of domestic work upon familial relationships, social bonds, and our conceptions of domestic space.

Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women's bodies remain at the mercy of state, society, and religion? Are being sexy and being smart really mutually exclusive? Can a woman be both body and brain? Victoria Bateman has confronted these questions with actions as well as words. She has appeared naked on national television, on stage, in art and at protests—using her body, as well as her brain, to deliver her message. In Naked Feminism, Bateman makes a compelling case for women's bodily freedom, and explains why the current puritanical revival is so dangerous for women.

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.
