The expectation used to be that men would be masculine and women would be feminine, and this was assumed to come naturally to them in virtue of their biology. On this view, sex is gender and gender is sex. A new view of gender has emerged in recent years, a view on which gender is an "identity," a way that people feel about themselves in terms of masculinity or femininity, regardless of their sex. On this view, sex is dismissed as unimportant, and gender is made paramount.

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.

Dra. Cynthia Galicia Mendoza, doctora en Derecho, feminista, académica, consultora en materia de género y derechos humanos de las mujeres, nos muestra como las mujeres viven de manera cotidiana un ataque constante que parece estar normalizado pero a final de cuentas impide que se logre la equidad que buscamos las feministas.

We’ve all heard this phrase countless times, echoing in courtroom dramas and blockbuster films. It's a solemn promise, a cornerstone of justice. Yet, for those who have faced the harsh realities of divorce, financial disputes, child custody battles, and other court proceedings, the notion of truth in the legal system often seems like a cruel joke. The author grew up believing that the law was fair, that justice was a clear line between right and wrong, upheld by judges, courts, and the police. His first family court hearing shattered that illusion.

"Ein Mann bekommt Schmerzmittel. Eine Frau etwas für die Nerven." Wie weiblicher Schmerz unterschätzt, übergangen und abgewertet wird. Eine feministische Erkundung Männer sollen stark sein, Frauen sind es angeblich nicht. Dabei bekommen sie Kinder und schmerzhafte Perioden, leiden häufiger an chronischen Schmerzen und sind stärker von häuslicher und sexueller Gewalt betroffen. Gleichzeitig wird ihr Schmerz weniger ernst genommen und schneller ruhiggestellt: Auf einen schmerzmittelabhängigen Mann kommen gut doppelt so viele Frauen.

It goes further into detailing how women and girls can reclaim their positive impact moving forward.

يتناول كتاب "نساء رفضن عبادة الرجل" للكاتب حمودة إسماعيلي، كاتبات مصدومات بثقافة الرجل، فبدل أن يلجأن لأسلوب الاحتماء، اخترن أسلوب المواجهة والإنفتاح ومعالجة قضية عبادة الرجل والتحري والبحث، فاكتشفن أن الرجل الخرافي والأسطوري هو مجرد وهم، أوجده الرجل نفسه، منشئ الأساطير الذكورية، وأن المنقذ لهن ليس سوى مجرد "حلمٍ زائل"، لذلك اتخذن هؤلاء النساء موقف رفض "عبادة الرجل"، وقام البعض منهن بتصوير هذا الرجل الأسطوري بشكل كاريكاتيريّ ساخر، وإن دلَّ ذلك على شيءٍ، دلّ على أنهن لم يعدن كالسّابق يندهشن بالرجل صانع الأساطير ومحض الوهم، فالإنسان بالنسبة لهن ه.

إن من أهم أسباب تهافت الرجال على بائعات الهوى والهوس بها، هي تخيلاته البورنوغرافية، فرؤية بعض الأوساط الاجتماعية للعملية الجنسية كوضاعة، بل منها من مازالت تطلق على الحب "مسخ". فإن الرجل يجد صعوبة في ممارسة الجنس المتخيل "الوضيع" مع موضوع يحترمه، فالزوجة كأم للأولاد يجب أن تعامل بالاحترام الذي تعامل به الأم والجدة. أما العاهرة فتبدو بالنسبة له الموضوع الذي لا يربطه به أي احترام أو مودة، بل فقط ظرف لتحقيق متطلبات جنسية بحتة، وبذلك يستطيع تطبيق أو تجريب الحركات والألعاب البهلوانية التي يشاهدها في الأفلام الإباحية، ظنًا منه أن ذلك هو ما يحقق الإشباع، بدل ذلك الواجب الزوجي الممل والروتيني.

"Was macht eigentlich das Unterschichtskind auf dem Roten Teppich?", fragt eine Besucherin auf dem Münchner Filmfest in meine Richtung. Ja, was macht sie da? Sie ist auf einer Mission. Die Tussi suggeriert durch ihre Erscheinung ein grenzüberschreitendes Begehren. Es geht um Kitsch, Glamour, Trash, es geht um Camp. Es geht um Körper, Identitäten. Es geht um Strass, um Klasse und um künstliche Fingernägel. Pleasure ist eine atemberaubend eloquente Tour de Force durch die Luxus-Triade Schlaf (meterlange Hotelbett-Laken!), Nahrung (Schlemmermaus!) und Kleidung (Dior, aber fake!).

With warmth and humour, Elizabeth Lovatt reimagines the women who both called and volunteered for the Lesbian Line in the 1990s, whilst also tracing her own journey from accidentally coming out to disastrous dates to finding her chosen family. With callers and agents alike dealing with first crushes and break-ups, sex and marriage, loneliness and illness (or simply the need to know the name of a gay bar on a night out), this is a celebration of the ordinary lives of queer women.

For so long, Ruthie Ackerman believed that the decision not to have children was a radical act. She'd grown up being told that she came from a long line of women who had abandoned theirs. Plus, Ruthie feared she would pass on her half-brother’s rare genetic disorder. Haunted by this generational inheritance, she goes searching in the twists and turns of her DNA to decide once and for all whether she should become a mother. When a geneticist leaves her at a dead end, she chooses to marry a man who doesn’t want children—only to realize that, despite everything, she desperately does.

Between 1950 and 1970, the Vatican and the American Catholic Church sent nearly four thousand Italian children to the United States for adoption into “good” Catholic homes. With the religious stigma of unwed motherhood turning families against daughters and a Church and State wanting “illegitimate” children sent abroad, mothers were lied to, given forms to sign that they didn’t understand, or even told their baby had died, all to further supply this international adoption pipeline.

When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment; we feel safe, in control, and on track. But when life does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of disappointment is profoundly uncomfortable and can cost us valuable time and energy if not treated and leveraged effectively. Christine Hassler has broken down the complex and overwhelming experience of recovering from disappointment into a step-by-step treatment plan.

This part-memoir, part feminist-manifesto meets women where they are and as they are. Hannah exposes and celebrates the messy, honest and insular parts of ourselves in a book designed to feel like a late-night conversation with your best friend – one that will make you laugh, cry and that you'll never want to end.

Existe una ingente cantidad de datos históricos disponibles sobre la incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral, pero nadie antes de Claudia Goldin se había detenido a analizarlos. Los resultados de esta investigación pionera, realizada durante décadas y basada en información que se remonta a hace más de un siglo, dan lugar a un nuevo relato, revelador y muy ameno, de nuestro viaje hacia la equidad y de los orígenes de la gran brecha que aún impide a muchas mujeres y madres bien formadas incorporarse al mercado laboral en igualdad de condiciones con respecto a los hombres.
