Story0
Edda Mussolini was Benito's favourite daughter: spoilt, venal, uneducated but clever, faithless but flamboyant, a brilliant diplomat, wild but brave and ultimately strong and loyal. She was her father's confidante during the 20 years of Fascist rule, acting as envoy to both Germany and Britain, and playing a part in steering Italy to join forces with Hitler. From her early 20s, she was effectively first lady of Italy. She married Galeazzo Ciano, who would become the youngest foreign secretary in Italian history.

L'audio libro "Voci dal Medioevo" è tratto dal libro di Paola Amadesi "Dieci donne e quattro uomini" (disponibile su Amazon). Figure come Eleonora d'Aquitania, madre di Riccardo I re d'Inghilterra, Eloisa, Egeria la pellegrina, Ildegarda di Bingen e Matilde di Canossa danno grande forza e voce a donne che hanno sofferto, amato, studiato, lottato contro la società del loro tempo. Sono voci che vengono da lontano ma che ci sono vicine, simili a quelle che si sentono gridare nelle strade oggigiorno.

L'audiolibro tratteggia sedici ritratti biografici di donne che hanno partecipato, anche senza essere militanti, a quel grande passaggio d'epoca che va sotto il nome di Sessantotto. Così Franca Viola che si ribellò agli arcaici costumi siciliani e rifiutò il matrimonio riparatore, così Mara Cagol che pagò con la vita la scelta del terrorismo brigatista. Due ribellioni diverse, una pacifica e una violenta, emblematiche di quegli anni. E in mezzo ci sono le altre, Amelia Rosselli, Carla Accordi, Patty Pravo, Giovanna Marini, Perla Peragallo, Krizia, Emma Bonino, Rossana Rossanda.

Parliamo di donne velate e subito pensiamo allo hijab o agli altri tipi di copertura del capo, o del volto, o dell'intero corpo della donna che sono in uso nel mondo islamico e che, non senza originare polemiche, molte islamiche indossano anche nei paesi occidentali. Ma la prescrizione alle donne di coprirsi il capo appartiene in pieno anche alla storia dell'Occidente.

Story0
Anche nel Medioevo troviamo donne disposte a vendere il proprio corpo "pro pretio, lucro et questu": condannata e ritenuta una vergogna, la prostituzione era però considerata ineliminabile e persino necessaria. Giustificabile, perché salvava da mali peggiori come la corruzione delle vergini e delle spose e "l'abominevole vizio della sodomia". Ma qual era la posizione della Chiesa e dei pubblici poteri nel regolare questo fenomeno divenuto assai rilevante? Nel Trecento, infatti, si assiste ovunque in Europa al proliferare dei postriboli, a volte quasi piccole fortezze del piacere.

Story0
As a young civil servant, Caroline Slocock became the first ever female private secretary to any British Prime Minister and was at Margaret Thatcher's side for the final 18 months of her premiership. A left-wing feminist, Slocock was no natural ally, and yet she became fascinated by the woman behind the Iron Lady façade and by how she dealt with a world dominated by men. As events inexorably led to Margaret Thatcher's downfall, Slocock observed the vulnerabilities and contradictions of the woman considered by many to be the ultimate anti-feminist.

When they fell in love in 1928, Rika and Waldemar could have not been more different. She was a thirty-seven-year-old Dutch-born mother, estranged from her husband. He was her immigrant boarder, not yet twenty, and a wealthy Surinamese descendant of slaves. The child they have together, brown skinned and blue eyed, brings the couple great joy yet raises some eyebrows. Until the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands explodes their promising life. What unfolds is more than the astonishing story of a love that prevailed over convention. It’s also the quest of a young boy.

To many Queen Victoria was a ruler shrouded in myth and mystique, portrayed as an aging, stiff widow. But in truth Britain’s longest-reigning monarch was passionate, expressive, humorous, and unconventional. A. N. Wilson’s exhaustively researched and definitive biography includes a wealth of new material from previously unseen sources, showing us Queen Victoria as she’s never been seen before.

Il 16 giugno 1743 sulla strada per Siena un giovane servitore in fuga d'amore con la sua bella viene raggiunto dagli inseguitori; ferito da un'archibugiata, morirà pochi giorni dopo. Componendone le spoglie, all'ospedale si scopre che quel garzone, già in fama di dongiovanni impenitente, è in realtà una donna. Un medico famoso si appassiona al fatto e lo ricostruisce: Caterina Vizzani, questo il suo nome, per otto anni si era finta uomo per poter seguire, al riparo di un'identità maschile, la sua allora illecita inclinazione per le donne.

Until Scandinavia converted to Christianity and came under the rule of powerful kings, the Vikings were a dominant force in the medieval world. Outfitted with wind-powered sailing ships, they left their mark, spreading terror across Europe, sacking cities, deposing kings, and ransacking economies. But as much as we know about this culture, there is a large missing piece: its women. In this revisionist portrait, science journalist Heather Pringle turns those assumptions on their head, using the latest archaeological research and historical findings to reveal this group as they actually were.

Pietro I di Russia (1672 - 1725) fu detto "il Grande" per gli eccezionali risultati ottenuti durante il suo regno: la Russia feudale e orientaleggiante fu profondamente modernizzata anzitutto sul piano militare e amministrativo e trasformata in una grande potenza in qualche modo aperta all'Europa. Per conseguirli fu spietato con il suo popolo e condusse ripetute guerre, ma fondò anche Pietroburgo, che divenne la capitale civile e intellettuale aperta alle idee nuove dell'Illuminismo e all'arte europea.
