In this book, Riley scrutinizes the perspectives of athletes on the opposing side of this debate, deconstructing their arguments with science, facts, and logic. She also asks what has happened to free speech and dissent in this country, where it now seems nearly impossible to have a well-reasoned debate.

What if every time you had a self-critical thought, you heard it in a man’s voice? The truth is not far off. Living in a patriarchy, women absorb a lifetime of messages that say your worth is defined by your looks, your accomplishments, and how well you take care of everyone around you. In fact, these messages are so pervasive that, even knowing they exist, they still manage to program themselves into our brains. The result is that women end up feeling anxious, guilty, and vaguely ashamed of themselves no matter how much they do for others or achieve for themselves.

Warum menstruieren Frauen? Warum erkranken sie eher an Alzheimer als Männer? Und warum müssen wir Frauen in den Wechseljahren jede Nacht die Laken durchschwitzen? Viel zu lange hat sich die Wissenschaft fast ausschließlich auf den männlichen Körper konzentriert. Erst in den vergangenen 15 Jahre haben Forscher verschiedener Fachbereiche neue spannende Entdeckungen dazu gemacht, wie sich der weibliche Körper in den letzten 200 Millionen Jahren entwickelt hat, wie er funktioniert und was es wirklich bedeutet, biologisch eine Frau zu sein.

Where do lessons of “stranger danger” and safety come from—and do they apply differently for women? A gender-fear paradox shows that although women are less likely to be victims of most crimes (sexual assault aside), their fear of crime is greater. Moreover, girls and women—especially White women—are taught to fear the wrong things and given impossible tools to prevent victimization. In Teaching Fear, Nicole Rader zooms in on the social learning process, tracing the ways that families, schools, and the media have become obsessed with crime myths, especially regarding girls and women.

Cuando se publicó por primera vez en 1970, La mujer eunuco supuso un punto de inflexión en la defensa de los derechos de la mujer. La tesis sobre la que se sustenta es que la familia nuclear, consumista y urbana reprime a la mujer sexualmente y esta acaba por desvitalizarse y convertirse en eunuco. Por esta razón, advierte Greer, la auténtica liberación pasa por una liberación sexual. Casi cinco décadas más tarde, La mujer eunuco se ha convertido en un importante documento histórico y pone en relevancia todo el trabajo que queda por hacer.

Johnson, die am Stonewall-Aufstand beteiligt war: Kirsty Loehr versammelt sie und noch viele weitere queere Frauen in ihrem außergewöhnlichen Hörbuch feministischer Geschichtsschreibung. Nach dem Hören sehen wir die Welt in ihrem über Jahrhunderte stramm gezogenen heteronormativen Korsett mit neuen Augen.

На протяжении веков женское тело волновало умы не только художников и писателей, старавшихся передать всю его притягательность, но и ученых, неизменно задававшихся одними и теми же вопросами: почему женское тело так сильно отличается от мужского? Что привело к формированию этих отличий? И как, столь хрупкое, оно выносит нагрузки и боль не только наравне, но и лучше мужчин? Эволюционный генетик и педагог Дина Эмера провела большую часть своей жизни за изучением эволюции женского тела и женской репродуктивной системы.

Was hat Scham mit Weiblichkeit zu tun? Scham zu empfinden ist vollkommen normal, ganz unabhängig vom Geschlecht. Doch Frauen schämen und entschuldigen sich besonders oft: für den eigenen Körper, weil sie als zu erfolgreich gelten, Single sind oder kinderlos bleiben.

We now live in a new age of beauty. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, accessible tweakments, augmented reality face filters, photo editing apps, and exposure to more images than we were ever meant to see, we have the ability to craft ourselves in whichever way we please. We pinch, pull, squeeze, tweeze, smooth and slice ourselves beyond recognition. But is modern beauty culture truly empowering? Are we really in control?

Where did the word come from? And what do the Jonas Brothers, TikTok and Shakespeare have to do with it?

In an era of supposed great equality, women are still falling behind in the workplace. Even with more women in the workforce than in decades past, wage gaps continue to increase. It is the most educated women who have fallen the furthest behind. Blue-collar women hold the most insecure and badly paid jobs in our economy. And even as we celebrate high-profile representation—women on the board of Fortune 500 companies and our first female vice president—women have limited recourse when they experience harassment and discrimination.
