Dans ce recueil d’aphorismes et de fragments, Natalie Clifford Barney—Américaine expatriée à Paris et grande animatrice de salon—distille l’art de la conversation en pensées ciselées. Nées de rencontres et d’échanges, ces notes mordantes et lumineuses sondent la vie et les lettres, les mœurs et les arts, avec une liberté d’esprit que suggère l’amazone du titre. Entre ironie légère et gravité, une voix singulière pose des questions plus qu’elle n’assène des réponses, invitant à réfléchir, sourire et contredire.

Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems. They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever "speak for themselves."

In the late ’60s, a small group of elite American women convinced an overwhelming majority of the country that destroying the most fundamental of relationships - mother and child - was necessary for women to have productive and happy lives.

Sixty million abortions later, women aren’t showing signs of health, happiness, and fulfillment.

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.

Raised by Quaker parents in Moorestown, New Jersey, she would become a passionate and outspoken leader of the woman suffrage movement.

Libere e padrone del proprio destino: era questa l'idea che le donne italiane avevano di sé. Ma era un'illusione, perché le cose negli ultimi vent'anni sono cambiate profondamente. In peggio.

Quali sono le radici di questo fenomeno e, soprattutto, perché le donne italiane hanno smesso di combattere per difendere i propri diritti?

Depuis plusieurs décennies, nous réfléchissons au sens de la féminité, à l'éducation de nos filles que nous voulons fières et émancipées. Nous luttons à l'école, dans la rue, auprès de nos familles pour tordre le cou aux clichés et leur offrir des chances égales à celles des garçons. Mais nous continuons d'élever nos fils dans le même moule patriarcal, comme si nous pouvions déconstruire le sexisme sans nous interroger sur la masculinité !
