Ao contrário do que muitos possam pensar, o feminismo não pretende – e nunca pretendeu – colocar as mulheres em um patamar acima ao dos homens. Ele busca combater o machismo, tão enraizado nas relações sociais que chega, muitas vezes, a passar despercebido e é até mesmo normalizado, submetendo as mulheres às mais diferentes formas de violência, seja por meio de agressões (verbais, psicológicas, patrimoniais e físicas), assédio sexual, silenciamento, desigualdade salarial e de oportunidades no mercado de trabalho, ou ainda pela objetificação do corpo feminino.

The Heart She Holds is a profound exploration of the essence of womanhood and the quiet, transformative power it brings to relationships.

Susanne Krammer ist jahrelang selbst in diese Falle getappt. Als Mode- und Beautyjournalistin hat sie diese Ideale selbst befeuert, und der Wunsch, noch »perfekter« auszusehen, hätte sie fast das Leben gekostet, als eine völlig unnötige Beauty-OP schiefging und sie nach einer schweren Sepsis nur durch eine Notoperation gerettet werden konnte. In ihrem Hörbuch widmet sie sich der Frage, wie es dazu kommen konnte – und warum fast alle Frauen trotz Feminismus und Aktivismus noch nicht weiter zu sein scheinen und es uns einfach nicht gelingt, uns so anzunehmen, wie wir sind: schön.

Let me cut straight to it—pun intended. This isn’t just another book about gender. It’s about the mirror, the myth, and the man who stares into it wondering, “Who the hell am I… really?” This book is your mirror upgrade. Not the foggy one from your high school locker room—but the high-definition, soul-revealing, paradigm-popping kind. We’re not here to label. We’re here to liberate.

Through meticulous research, survivor testimony, and a refusal to look away from uncomfortable truths, Rowe sheds light on how unwed mothers were silenced, how infants were taken and rehomed, and how official records were sealed, altered, or erased.

Lydiette Carrión—autora de La fosa de agua—explora en este libro la forma en que los feminicidios han sido narrados y mistificados, hasta llegar a ser usados, al menos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, para posicionar productos de consumo, a la par que fomentan la asimilación de figuras estereotipadas de la feminidad y la violencia de género.
