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.

Questo è un libro sull’aborto e sulla legge che lo regolamenta nel nostro paese: la legge 194 del 1978. Perché parlare ancora di aborto e della legge 194? Rispondere alla domanda è facile: la possibilità per le donne di interrompere volontariamente la gravidanza è da molta sentita ancora oggi, nel nostro paese, come potentemente scandalosa; l’applicazione della legge 194 è quotidianamente ostacolata e la legge stessa è minacciata da tentativi di limitarla, se non cancellarla.

Se in passato le donne erano soprattutto casalinghe, mamme e cuoche a tempo pieno, sempre indaffarate ma instancabili, oggi per loro prendersi cura della casa è una scelta, non più un dovere. Sono finalmente libere di fare i lavori più disparati, anche restando a lungo lontano da casa, e non sono più relegate soltanto al ruolo di mogli e madri affettuose, ma possono diventare campionesse olimpiche, ricercatrici, astronaute, manager o designer di successo.

When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a deeply personal journey to tease out the intersections between sexuality and creativity, she discovers, much to her own astonishment, an increasing body of scientific evidence that suggests that the vagina is not merely flesh, but an intrinsic component of the female brain - and thus has a fundamental connection to female consciousness itself.

Con un coraggioso viaggio introspettivo, l’autrice, un tempo anche lei vittima di violenza domestica, smaschera e affronta quello che lei stessa chiama...

In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bona fide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.

The bestselling classic that redefined our view of the relationship between beauty and female identity. In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife.

This is perhaps one of the best-loved of all journals. William Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, began it in May 1800 and resolved to keep it for a short time. She continued it for nearly three years. In it, she brought the Dove Cottage years to vivid and intimate life. She noted the walks and weather, the friends, country neighbours, and travellers on the roads. She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

Il femminismo, quell'agire politico che ha risvegliato le coscienze e le azioni di milioni di donne nel mondo che "a partire da sé" hanno deciso di provare a cambiare il mondo, è al centro di questo libro, o meglio, l’intreccio tra l’azione dei movimenti femministi e il ciclo di intense innovazioni tecniche, finanziarie e politiche dagli anni Settanta a oggi. La parola delle donne tornò a essere visibile a livello internazionale proprio attraverso il ciclo di Conferenze voluto dalle Nazioni Unite, a partire dalla prima Conferenza delle Nazioni Unite di Città del Messico, nel 1975, passando per quella di Pechino del 1995.

What kind of mother abandons her child? During the pandemic, trapped at home with young children and struggling to find creative space to write, journalist Begoña Gómez Urzaiz became fixated on artistic women who overcame both society’s condemnation and their own maternal guilt to leave their children—at will or due to economic or other circumstances. The Abandoners is sharp, at times slyly humorous, and always deeply empathetic.

In England in the 1700s, a woman who was an intellectual, spoke out, or wrote professionally was considered unnatural. After all, as the wisdom of the era dictated, a clever woman—if there were such a thing—would never make a good wife. But a circle of women called the Bluestockings did something extraordinary: Coming together in glittering salons to discuss and debate as intellectual equals with men, they fought for women to be educated and to have a public role in society. In this intimate and revelatory history, Susannah Gibson delves into the lives of these pioneering women.

¿Qué papel tuvieron las primeras mujeres en la prehistoria? ¿De verdad eran ellas las que se quedaban cuidando a la prole? ¿Cómo eran realmente la maternidad y la educación de los hijos? ¿En qué momento empezaron las mujeres a perder poder? En el relato que se ha construido de las sociedades prehistóricas, las mujeres han ocupado un lugar secundario que la ciencia no se ha preocupado por entender y explicar en profundidad hasta ahora, cuando el feminismo reivindica el papel fundamental de las mujeres en la historia.

An audacious and accessible guide to feminist philosophy - its origins, its key ideas, and its latest directions. Think Like a Feminist is an irreverent yet rigorous primer that unpacks more than 200 years of feminist thought.

From Harriet Tubman to Assata Shakur, Ida B. Wells to Sandra Bland and Black Lives Matter, black women freedom fighters have braved violence, scorn, despair and isolation in order to lodge their protests. In A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing, DaMaris Hill honours their experiences with at times harrowing, at times hopeful responses to her heroes.

#SayHerName provides an analytical framework for understanding Black women's susceptibility to police brutality and state-sanctioned violence, and it explains how—through black feminist storytelling and ritual—we can effectively mobilize various communities and empower them to advocate for racial justice.

Growing up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the lean child of working-class Chicago transplants, Judy Grahn hungered to connect with the larger world, to create a place for herself beyond the deprivations and repressions of small-town 1950s life. Refusing the imperative to silence that was her inheritance as a woman and as a lesbian, Grahn found her way to poetry, to activism, and to the intoxicating beauty and power of openly loving other women.
