"Dear Dope Black Girl, you don’t know me, but I know you. I know you because I am you! We are magic, light, and stars in the universe.” So begins a letter that Tamara Winfrey Harris received as part of her Letters to Black Girls project, where she asked black women to write honest, open, and inspiring letters of support to young black girls aged 13 to 21. Her call went viral, resulting in a hundred personal letters from black women around the globe that cover topics such as identity, self-love, parents, violence, grief, mental health, sex, and sexuality.

The Stone Shelter: A Stonebutch/Stonefemme Love Affair invites listeners into their first-ever glimpse of a real-life love affair between a stone couple. The audio is filled with copies of actual letters, texts, gifts, and stories that passed between the two. Included are the genteel and insightful discussions where they negotiate kinkier aspects of their dynamics; share their navigation of a blooming long distant love; as well as the erotic objectification, worship, and sexual banter that characterizes the evolution and expression of butch-femme desire.

Karla Jay's memoir of an age whose tumultuous social and political movements fundamentally reshaped American culture takes listeners from her early days in the 1968 Columbia University student riots to her post-college involvement in New York radical women's groups and the New York Gay Liberation Front to Southern California in the early '70s, where she continued in the battle for gay civil rights. We see her helping to organize the takeover of The Ladies Home Journal and “ogle-ins” - where women staked out Wall Street and whistled at the men.

More than just a slogan on a t-shirt, feminism is a radical tool for fighting back against structural violence and injustice. Feminism, Interrupted is a bold call to seize feminism back from the cultural gatekeepers and return it to its radical roots. Lola Olufemi explores state violence against women, the fight for reproductive justice, transmisogyny, gendered Islamophobia, and solidarity with global struggles, showing that the fight for gendered liberation can change the world for everybody when we refuse to think of it solely as women's work.

While Susie and Laura don't see eye-to-eye on every issue, their different viewpoints offer a fascinating look at feminism and womanhood today.

Then, Andi sticks around to help Susie answer a letter from the mailbag: a man asks why his female coworkers aren't more upset that the boss is sleeping with the employees.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) had a profound influence on the shape of 19th-century thought and political discourse. His view of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to the unrestricted state. Mill favoured decentralised forms of socialism because he thought that a centralised model would discourage competition, neglect talent, and disregard freedom.

The history of the AIDS epidemic has largely been told from the perspective of gay men: their losses, struggles, and contributions. But what about the women - in particular, straight women? Not just Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana, but thousands whose accomplishments have never been recognized? Drawing on personal interviews and archival research, Fag Hags, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community is the first book to share the stories of women around the world, throughout the epidemic.

Chanequa Walker-Barnes offers a compelling argument that the Christian racial reconciliation movement is incapable of responding to modern-day racism. She demonstrates how reconciliation’s roots in the evangelical, male-centered Promise Keepers’ movement has resulted in a patriarchal and largely symbolic effort focused upon improving relationships between men from various racial-ethnic groups.

This is the story of Nancy Harkness Love who, early in World War II, recruited and led the first group of 28 women to fly military aircraft for the US Army. Love was hooked on flight at an early age. At 16, after just four hours of instruction, she flew solo “a rather broken down Fleet biplane that my barnstorming instructor imported from parts unknown”. The year was 1930: Record-setting aviator Jacqueline Cochran (and Love’s future rival) had not yet learned to fly, and the most famous woman pilot of all time, Amelia Earhart, had yet to make her acclaimed solo Atlantic flight.

After getting arrested at a Venezuelan airport with a suitcase of cocaine, Natalie was clueless about the danger she was facing. Sentenced to 10 years, she arrived at a prison with armed men on the roof, whom she mistakenly believed were the guards, only to find out they were homicidal gang members. Immediately, she was plunged into a world of unimaginable horror and escalating violence, where murder, rape, and gang warfare were carried out with the complicity of corrupt guards

Pauline Harmange hasst Männer - und zwar alle bis auf ihren Ehemann. In ihrem kurzen, pointierten Essay appelliert sie offenherzig, provokativ und nicht ohne Witz an alle Frauen, sich nicht mehr darum zu scheren, was sie in einer männerdominierten Umwelt vorfinden. Dabei ist ihr Buch keineswegs ein Aufruf zur Gewalt, sondern eine Aufforderung zum Umdenken: Frauen sollten das Recht haben, Männern misstrauisch zu begegnen.

"Un manuel sur la sexualité féminine et une jouissance décorrélée de la fécondation. Drôle, percutant, l'ouvrage a aussi une visée politique. Car l'égalité sexuelle participe du combat pour l'égalité tout court. Aux orgasmes, citoyennes !" - Aurélie Marcireau, "Le Nouveau magazine littéraire". Libérée, la sexualité des femmes d'aujourd'hui ? On serait tenté de croire que oui. Pourtant, plus de 50 % d'entre elles se disent insatisfaites, que ce soit à cause d'un manque de désir ou de difficultés à atteindre l'orgasme.

In Lost, medical historian Shannon Withycombe weaves together women’s personal writings and doctors’ publications from the 1820s through the 1910s to investigate the transformative changes in how Americans conceptualized pregnancy, understood miscarriage, and interpreted fetal tissue over the course of the 19th century. Withycombe’s pathbreaking research reveals how Americans construed, and continue to understand, miscarriage within a context of reproductive desires, expectations, and abilities.
