Eine Kulturgeschichte der Frau erzählt entlang an 100 Objekten, gelesen von berühmten weiblichen Stimmen unserer Zeit. 100 bemerkenswerte Frauen aus dem öffentlichen Leben haben die Texte eingelesen, darunter Schriftstellerinnen und Künstlerinnen, Unternehmerinnen und Politikerinnen, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Aktivistinnen.

We’re told women are good at listening, but we rarely examine what they’re listening to, what their worlds sound like, or how it feels to be expected to listen in a world of noise made by men. Like so many of us, Alice Vincent had become overwhelmed by the sensory overload punctuating our every moment. And then, a baby’s heartbeat arrived. A rapid, pulsing whoosh of white noise. An undeniable rhythm. Once again, Alice’s life became cacophonous – both with a new child, but also with the societal pressures that motherhood holds.

Desde el nacimiento de la Quinta República el Estado francés ha librado una guerra latente contra parte de su población. Los jóvenes de los barrios obreros que son descendientes de la inmigración poscolonial sufren una repetida operación diaria de "desinfantilización": no son tratados como niños sino como amenazas a la supervivencia del sistema. ¿Cuántos de ellos murieron a causa de esta "desinfantilización"? ¿Cuántos fueron asesinados impunemente por la policía? ¿Cuántas madres han llorado ante los tribunales a sus hijos víctimas de crímenes racistas?

Throughout history, women's pain and health issues have often been dismissed and viewed simply as an innate part of being female. Whether blamed on a wandering womb, witchcraft or still, to this day, being 'all in our heads' – women's health has been consistently misunderstood. As a result women have, and still are, missing out on receiving the healthcare they deserve. In ‘It’s Probably Nothing’, Naga Munchetty explores the difficulties of being heard, diagnosed and treated.

Women's accomplishments across history are showcased as aberrations or surprising facts. Little thought is often given to the reasons why most of our lauded scientists, reporters, sports stars, politicians, and businesspeople all seem to be men. Uncredited proves that not only have there been hundreds of ground-breaking women in all professions, but that their accomplishments have been overlooked, denigrated, or downright repressed by their male colleagues or historians.

"Atenție, nelegiuiții pe două roți nu mai sunt la porțile orașului! Sunt chiar printre noi!" Așa ar fi sunat titlul vreunui ziar local din America anilor 1960 după ce Hell’s Angels ar fi dat năvală în oraș, doar ca să se distreze în stilul lor caracteristic: motoare, raiduri, femei, droguri și bere. Mituri, exagerări sau adevăruri îngrozitoare? Prejudecăți sau fapte dovedite? Ziariștii îi adorau pentru că le ofereau subiecte de scandal, iar publicul era fascinat de aerul lor amenințător și, într-un fel, misterios de răzvrătiți și antieroi neînțeleși.

Between the 1870s and 1930s, American social reformers, working closely with the US government, transformed sexual vice into an international political and humanitarian concern. As these activists worked to eradicate prostitution and trafficking, they promoted sexual self-control for both men and women as a cornerstone of civilization and a basis of American exceptionalism. Empire of Purity traces the history of these efforts, showing how the policing and penalization of sexuality was used to justify American interventions around the world.

Exploring issues from the #MeToo movement, gender bias in division of labor and the workplace, and the underrepresentation of women of color in leadership, to cultural trends including food and travel shows, the intersection of fashion and food, and the evolution of food writing in the last few decades, Women on Food brings together food's most vital female voices.

In a world where traditional masculinity demands emotional restraint, this book reimagines what it means to be a man. It challenges men to go beyond societal expectations and explore the depth of their emotional strength. Through personal experience and vulnerability, it opens the door to a new way of living—one that embraces emotional honesty, resilience, and connection.

Thelma & Louise, the 1991 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, has been described as a road movie, a buddy movie, a feminist parable, and only incidentally as a Western. An Oscar winner for first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri, Thelma & Louise catalyzed a national conversation about women, violence, and self-determination in a Hollywood still shrugging off the West of John Wayne and in an America that still viewed women as accessories to the national mythology.

Exploring gender identity is one of the most profound and personal journeys an individual can undertake.

Let a Man Be a Man: A Woman's Guide to a Healthy Relationship by Audra P. Jackson is a powerful guide that aims to reshape the dynamics between men and women in relationships. Drawing on her extensive experiences as a married, former music industry veteran and insights from focus groups, Jackson explores the often-overlooked ways in which women can unintentionally emasculate men.

Bestsellerautorin Rebekka Endler wagt sich in ihrem neuen Werk an die große Frage nach den Ursachen des Patriarchats und untersucht misogyne Mythen, die bis heute unser Denken und Handeln bestimmen. Die Erklärung "Männer und Macht" greift aus Rebekka Endlers Sicht viel zu kurz, und so fragt sie: Was bringt so viele Frauen dazu, auch heute noch von einem rettenden Märchenprinzen zu träumen? Was steckt hinter der Mommy-Blogger-Welle und welche Funktion haben Frauenbilder wie Zicken, Witches, Bitches und It-Girls?

We humans have an extraordinary capacity for compassion—much of it in response to the atrocities we inflict on the planet, its animals, and each other. The popular explanation for this paradox is that we evolved as carnivorous “killer apes,” who gradually curbed our lust for violence (with frequent exceptions) by implementing humane social norms. This explanation is so well worn, especially in the American psyche, that it epitomizes cliché. So, we could be forgiven for believing it, when nearly every word is fiction.

Taboo Topics by Nicole Johnston is a powerful manifesto for every woman ready to break free from silence and reclaim her power. From the hidden struggles of sexism to the unspoken realities of periods and menopause, this book dares to address the topics society often shies away from.

Smash Male Dominion—Claim Your Throne as Goddess Incarnate. Tired of begging for scraps of power in a world built to glorify male mediocrity? Done pretending men’s “logic” isn’t just a flimsy mask for their incompetence? Ready to stop negotiating with oppressors and start dismantling their empires? Expose the biological lie of male superiority—and why estrogen is evolution’s masterpiece. Weaponize cultural Marxism to bankrupt patriarchy and fund your liberation. Turn abortion into a sacrament and men’s tears into your holy water.

Male Sexuality Is Not for Sale is a wake-up call. It challenges the hidden scripts that tell men their sexuality must be earned, validated, or proven. Instead, it offers a radical alternative: a path toward a deeper, embodied masculinity rooted in presence, truth, and sovereignty.
