Alice Paul has long been an elusive figure in the political history of American women. Raised by Quaker parents in Moorestown, New Jersey, she would become a passionate and outspoken leader of the woman suffrage movement. In 1913 she reinvigorated the American campaign for a constitutional suffrage amendment and, in the next seven years, dominated that campaign and drove it to victory with bold, controversial action - wedding courage with resourcefulness and self-mastery.

Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation dives deep into the occult roots of the movement, detailing the lives of some of its most prominent figures and the esoteric beliefs that inspired and motivated them. Since the 1970s, everything we learn about the history of the women's movement has been subject to gatekeeping by radicals who run women's studies departments in universities. But there's an entire history that has been obscured from public view.

Meet the mystical women and nonbinary people from US history who found strength through the supernatural—and those who are still forging the way today. From the celebrity spirit mediums of the nineteenth century to contemporary activist witches hexing the patriarchy, women have long used magic and mysticism to seize the power they’re so often denied. Organized around different approaches women have taken to the occult over the decades, this book shines a light on underappreciated magical pioneers.

Black Women and Public Health creates an urgently needed interdisciplinary dialogue about issues of race, gender, and health. An enduring history of racism, sexism, and dehumanization of Black women's bodies has largely rendered the health needs of the Black community inaudible and invisible. Grounded in the lived experiences and expertise of Black women, this collection bridges gaps between researchers, practitioners, educators, and advocates.

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. Non solo le donne italiane non hanno più fatto progressi, ma hanno cominciato ad arretrare, svegliandosi nel paese più maschilista d'Europa. Quali sono le radici di questo fenomeno e, soprattutto, perché le donne italiane hanno smesso di combattere per difendere i propri diritti? Il libro racconta storie, personaggi e fenomeni forse imprevedibili.

Da sempre la rabbia ha una cattiva fama, è considerata un'emozione sgradevole e deprecabile. In generale, quindi, tendiamo a provare nei suoi confronti una certa paura e a non concederle spazio, che si tratti della nostra o di quella altrui. Questo vale in particolare per le donne: di fatto, una donna che esprime liberamente la propria rabbia viene definita stizzosa, isterica o eccessivamente drammatica. Per questo, le donne più degli uomini hanno la tendenza a rimuoverla e a nasconderla, in primis a se stesse, dietro il volto dell'amarezza, della delusione, del dolore.

Caitlin Moranová před deseti lety předpokládala, že má všechny trable za sebou. Ve svém globálním bestselleru Jak být ženou se vypořádala s patriarchátem, feminismem a vším tím, co obnáší moderní „ženství“, a měl ji čekat spokojený dospělý život plný skvělého sexu a harmonického rodičovství. Nečekal. V nové knize se proto zaobírá výzvami, které v současnosti čekají na „zralé“ ženy a stává se tak naším břitkým průvodcem dospělostí i smířením s faktem, že seznam povinností, potřeb a potíží se bude jen prodlužovat.

A 123 anni dalla loro prima pubblicazione, le parole accorate di Anna Kuliscioff restano drammaticamente attuali. Si parla delle innumerevoli, ingiustificate disparità uomo-donna (compresa la disparità di salario a parità di mansione) e di tutte le loro conseguenze nefaste. Non solo sulla vita delle donne, ma sul funzionamento della società tutta. Una chiave di lettura così moderna, quella di Anna Kuliscioff, che permette anche d'inquadrare anche le nuove misoginie dei giorni nostri: bodyshaming, pornrevenge, nuovi movimenti anti-abortisti, femminicidio.
