Molti uomini sono soggetti a pesanti condizionamenti sociali, e il primo e forse più pesante di tutti è quello che li illude di essere fuori da ogni condizionamento, liberi di agire e di decidere grazie al loro libero arbitrio. Nel sistema educativo occidentale già ai bambini viene raccontato che nella vita possono fare tutto, essere ciò che vogliono, a patto di ‘credere nei propri sogni’, o espressioni simili dal tipico valore di luogo comune.

Story
In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes—deeply feminist, sensitively written—that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.

Un nuevo libro de la autora de Los hombres me explican cosas y Wanderlust, que ilumina, entre otras cosas, la manera en que se entretejen la historia del silencio y la historia de las mujeres. Solnit nos ofrece un nuevo e indispensable repertorio de ensayos que analizan diferentes cuestiones, como por qué la historia del silencio está indisolublemente ligada a la historia de la mujer, o por qué a los niños de cinco años no les justan los juguetes de color rosa. También escribe sobre hombres que son feministas y hombres que son violadores, rehuyendo el estereotipo.

Story
Simone de Beauvoir affranca la donna dallo status di minore che la obbliga a essere l’Altro dall’uomo, senza avere a sua volta il diritto né l’opportunità di costruirsi come Altra. Con veemenza passa in rassegna i ruoli attribuiti dal pensiero maschile alla donna – sposa, madre, prostituta, vecchia – e i relativi attributi – narcisista, innamorata, mistica.

"Delitto passionale. Raptus. Gelosia. Depressione. Scatto d'ira. Tragedia familiare. Perché lei lo ha lasciato, chattava su Facebook, non lo amava più, non cucinava bene, lavorava, non lavorava. Nascondendo la vittima, le cronache finiscono con l'assolvere l'omicida: una vecchia storia, nata in tempi lontani e ancora viva fra noi. Per questo bisogna imparare a parlare di femminicidio. Tutti, non solo media. Dobbiamo farlo noi. Dobbiamo trovare le parole." Con un’introduzione inedita di Loredana Lipperini.

Story
Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision.
