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.

Harcèlement, humiliations, insultes : nous sommes bien averti.es de ces fléaux de la vie en société et nous nous efforçons de lutter contre eux. Mais il y a un cas de figure que nous négligeons : celui où l'agresseur, c'est... nous-même. Bien souvent résonne dans notre tête une voix malveillante qui nous attaque, qui nous sermonne, qui nous rabaisse ; qui nous dit que, quoi que nous fassions, nous avons tort ; que nous ne méritons rien de bon, que nous présentons un défaut fondamental.

Durante siglos, las sociedades han tratado la dominación masculina como lo "natural". ¿Y si viéramos, no obstante, la desigualdad de género como algo más frágil que ha tenido que ser constantemente reconstruido y reafirmado? En este libro audaz y radical, la reconocida periodista científica Angela Saini explora las raíces de lo que llamamos "patriarcado", descubriendo una historia compleja de cómo se incrustó por primera vez en las sociedades y se extendió por todo el mundo, desde la Prehistoria hasta el presente.

Why does feminism matter in Africa and how does African feminism relate to black liberation and global feminism? What does African feminism show about the individual and belonging? What are the challenges and opportunities of African feminism? Can African feminism transform society, or does postcolonial African identity clash with women’s freedom? Is there a tension in the very notion African feminist?

The smudge looked suspicious. The doctor confirmed: "That's the baby's penis!" Joel's reaction? Pure panic. "I pictured having to go camping and fix a car and use a hammer and throw a football and watch professionals throw footballs and figure out whether to be sad or happy about the results of said football throwing." And so begins Joel's quest to confront his effete nature whether he likes it or not (he doesn't), by doing a 24-hour shift with LA firefighters, going hunting, rebuilding a house, and engaging in all sorts of other manly activities.

What does it mean to be a feminist? Over the years, our view of the concept of feminism has been skewed to the point in which many people are hesitant to align themselves with the term. The unfortunate fact in our society is that feminists have been stereotyped as men-hating, radical extremists, when in actuality this could not be further from the case. This book is a reminder of the importance of feminism and the women who strove to fight for equal treatment, regardless of sex, race, religion, or sexual identity.

Anna Prushinskaya explores the deep life shifts of pregnancy, birth and motherhood in the United States, a world away from the author's Soviet homeland. Drawing from inspirations as various as midwife Ina May Gaskin, writer and activist Alice Walker, and frontierswoman Caroline Henderson, Prushinskaya captures the inherent togetherness of motherhood alongside its accompanying estrangement. She plumbs the deeper waters of compassion, memory and identity, as well as the humorous streams of motherhood as they run up against the realities of work and the ever-present eye of social media.

La course à la sexualité est-elle vraiment émancipatrice ? De la "révolution sexuelle" amorcée en Mai 68, aux mouvements sex-positifs actuels, on nous promet la possibilité pour toustes de jouir et de désirer sans entraves. Sauf qu'en investissant le sujet, le capitalisme et le patriarcat ont profondément transformé cette possibilité : le sexe est devenu un marché, et la non-sexualité une pathologie à guérir. En cherchant à optimiser le fonctionnement des corps et du désir, sommes-nous entré·es dans l'ère de l'aliénation sexuelle ?

Was hinter verschlossenen Schlafzimmertüren passiert, bleibt auch der Forschung großteils verborgen. Manche Fachleute tauchen jedoch tief in die Privatsphäre von Probandinnen und Probanden ein, um deren Sexualverhalten zu vermessen. Sie stellen Fragen wie: Wann war dein erstes Mal? Wie viele Mal pro Monat hast du Geschlechtsverkehr? Von wem fühlst du dich angezogen? Wie kommunizierst du, dass du Lust (oder keine Lust) auf Sex hast? In dieser Ausgabe von Spektrum Kompakt werden einige der Erkenntnisse zusammengefasst, die sie mit solchen Befragungen und weiteren Untersuchungen gewinnen konnten.

Notre société trie les enfants à la naissance en fonction de leurs organes génitaux et en déduit leur rôle : homme ou femme, dominant ou dominée. Mais la société ne s'arrête pas à cette différenciation arbitraire. Vient ensuite la mise en relation obligatoire : chaque dominée devra vivre en couple avec un dominant. Le tout, paraît-il, pour assurer la reproduction, donc la survie de l'espèce. Mais dans ce cas, pourquoi être obligé de vivre en couple, toute sa vie ? Se reproduire ne prend pas autant de temps.

When Carolyn Hays’s child made clear to the family that they were all wrong, he was not a boy, but, in fact, a girl, the Hays shifted pronouns, adopted a nickname and encouraged her to dress as she felt comfortable. One ordinary day, a caseworker from the Department of Children and Families knocked on their door to investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their transgender child. It was this threat that instilled in them a deep-seated fear for their child’s safety in the Republican state they called home. And so, they uprooted their lives.

As the battle rages, the First Amendment right of freedom of speech that protects people’s right to say unpopular things without government interference and the right to refuse to say things the government wants said is being called into question. The minority group argues that it is their right to “self-identify” as whatever they wish in order to accommodate their thoughts and feelings instead of accepting their bodily realities, thereby defying biological design in the process.

This book explores the sex lives of women with disabilities in Nepal, showing that many women suffer more than men despite prevailing disability policies that emphasize nondiscrimination against people with disabilities. It also argues that far from general perceptions of women as asexual, women with disabilities are capable of leading highly creative and fulfilling sexual lives.

What if family were not the only place you might hope to feel safe, loved, cared for, and accepted? What if we could do better than the family? We need to talk about the family. For those who are lucky, families can be filled with love and care, but for many they are sites of pain: from abandonment and neglect, to abuse and violence. Nobody is more likely to harm you than your family.

En una cultura en la que estamos bombardeadas por mensajes del tipo: "¡Ámate!, ¡Tu único límite eres tú!", no tenemos permitido decir que no sabemos cómo amarnos; que estamos cansadas y que nuestra autoestima es muchísimo más que mirarnos al espejo y repetir que somos mujeres "empoderadas". En este texto, Nerea de Ugarte López hace un análisis crítico a los conceptos de amor propio y positivismo tóxico, y propone una alternativa desde su experiencia como profesional de la salud mental con perspectiva de género: la autoestima política.

Belle, buone, brave e obbedienti: quante donne hanno imparato fin dall'infanzia che questo è l'unico modo per essere amate? Come succede ad Arabella, la protagonista di questa favola: pur essendo capace, intraprendente e piena di talenti, è pronta a sacrificare la sua allegria, la sua curiosità e i suoi stessi bisogni per compiacere i genitori e sentirsi apprezzata. Ma c'è qualcosa che grida dentro di lei, un grumo di insoddisfazione che le lacera lo stomaco e la rende irrequieta e vorace: è la sua fame d'amore.
