Riane Eisler believes that war and the "war of the sexes" are concepts neither divinely nor biologically ordained. Join the author as she reconstructs a prehistoric culture based on partnership rather than domination and traces the roots of the global shift to patriarchy. Eisler, an acclaimed scholar, futurist, and activist, also presents new scripts for living based on a more socially, economically, ecologically, personally, and spiritually balanced society. This script is in direct opposition to the tension and violence typical of what she calls the dominator model. Her vision is the partnership model, which today is struggling to reemerge. This program is an important contribution to that struggle.

On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist.

Nawal El Saadawi writes out of a powerful sense of the violence and injustice which permeated her society. Her experiences working as a doctor in villages around Egypt, witnessing prostitution, honour killings and sexual abuse, including female circumcision, drove her to give voice to this suffering. She goes on to explore the causes of the situation through a discussion of the historical role of Arab women in religion and literature. Saadawi argues that the veil, polygamy and legal inequality are incompatible with the essence of Islam or any human faith.

Written for both men and women, this groundbreaking book takes the reader on a journey to discover new routes to authentic manhood and create alternatives to definitions of masculinity that no longer work in today's world.

"Du bist eine Frau. Du bist: Die Zentrale der Zuständigkeiten. Denn du kannst alles. Wer alles kann, ist auch für alles zuständig. Dein Können ist gefragt wie nie. Doch die Sache hat einen Haken. Einerseits willst und sollst du arbeiten, Geld verdienen, durchstarten – andererseits sorgen, lieben, achtsam sein. Der Widerspruch zwischen "hart" und "weich" zwingt dich in den Kampfmodus. Du kämpfst mit deinen eigenen Entscheidungen, Gedanken und Gefühlen; du kämpfst mit den Wünschen, Zielen, Meinungen anderer.

In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could?

He casts a penetrating light on these male life stages, describing complications that arise, for example, when a boy skips the red and goes directly to the white. He also discusses how these stages, when fulfilled, affect men's relationships with women.

Ist es zu spät, neu anzufangen? Was macht das Leben gut? Mutterschaft - wer bestimmt, was das bedeutet? Wo ist die Liebe? Was war noch mal mit Sex? Brauche ich eine Therapie oder nur einen Spaziergang? Bin ich zu alt für Hüftjeans? Was geschieht mit meinem Gesicht? Und ist hier noch jemand so müde? Mit vierzig - so dachten wir früher - wäre im Leben alles geregelt. Stattdessen wirft dieses Alter ganz neue Fragen auf. Und birgt gleichzeitig viele Möglichkeiten.

"On nous a appris que l'histoire avait un sens et que, concernant les femmes, elle allait d'un état de servitude totale vers une libération complète, comme si la marche vers l'égalité était un processus naturel. Ce n'est pas exact. On a travesti les faits." De tout temps, les femmes ont agi. Elles ont régné, écrit, milité, créé, combattu, crié parfois. Et pourtant elles sont pour la plupart absentes des manuels d'histoire. Pourquoi ce grand oubli ?

"Nous commencerons par discuter les points de vue pris sur la femme par la biologie, la psychanalyse, le matérialisme historique. Nous essaierons de montrer ensuite positivement comment la "réalité féminine" s'est constituée, pourquoi la femme a été définie comme l'Autre et quelles en ont été les conséquences du point de vue des hommes."

"I was one of 28 children born to my dad and his three wives. Indoctrinated to believe that the outside world was evil, and that I resided among the righteous, I was destined to marry a man chosen for me by the Prophet. I would then live in harmony with my sister-wives, bear many children, and obey and serve my future husband in this life and throughout eternity. But my innocence didn't last long." Flora goes on from there to tell the dramatic true story of how she ultimately escaped and has been rescuing women and children from the FLDS.

In Survival of the Prettiest, Nancy Etcoff, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and a practicing psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, argues that beauty is neither a cultural construction, an invention of the fashion industry, nor a backlash against feminism - it's in our biology.

Heute weiß Franziska Setare Koohestani: Unser Umgang mit Körperbehaarung hat wenig mit Hygiene und Körperpflege zu tun, sondern vielmehr mit den patriarchalen, rassistischen und kapitalistischen Normen, die unsere Gesellschaft verinnerlicht hat. Ausgehend von historischen, kulturellen und medizinischen Quellen sowie persönlichen Erfahrungen erklärt sie, warum Körperbehaarung politisch ist, und weist den Weg in eine Welt, in der Hairy Queens das Sagen haben und wir mit unserem Körperhaar endlich so umgehen können wie mit Kleidung: selbstbewusst, spielerisch und kreativ.
