This radical book examines the historical formation of Catholic theology from the perspective of the spiritual abuse of women. Debra Flint defines spiritual and political power abuse before considering female influence in the Church from New Testament times to date. She clearly demonstrates how women, who were respected by Jesus and authoritative in the early Church, were gradually eliminated from positions of influence by patriarchy and the growing development of misogyny.

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.

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.

Nel Medioevo le donne vivevano in una rigida sottomissione. Non assecondare la volontà della famiglia, non ubbidire agli uomini, padri, mariti o padroni, manifestare indipendenza di giudizio o di comportamento facevano di loro delle ribelli. Ma non sono mancate sante, regine, badesse, semplici monache, umili contadine, serve, schiave, eretiche, streghe, prostitute che hanno scelto di sottrarsi a destini segnati, resistendo, opponendosi, fuggendo. Donne decise a viaggiare, conoscere, insegnare, lavorare, combattere, predicare.

Kvinder - i hvert fald i de førende kredse - kunne omkring år 1800 leve et meget friere liv end deres formødre. Det blev kun en lille tidslomme med frihed, for allerede omkring 1825 begynder mulighederne igen at lukke sig. Man skulle helt ind i det 20. århundrede, før kvinder igen for alvor kunne sprænge grænser og leve selvstændigt. Der er opstået en del misforståelser omkring denne frie periode, og Maria Helleberg vil med VILDE KVINDER, MILDE KVINDER vise, hvor overskridende der (også) blev levet i guldalderens borgerlighed. Her er i levende biografisk form tolv kvindeliv fra guldalderen.

La pasión, bien sea amorosa, ideológica o simplemente vital, ha tenido consecuencias desdichadas para el sexo femenino. La consagración de una vida al arte, al amor, o a una causa política o religiosa muchas veces ha resultado en un trágico final para muchas mujeres a lo largo de todas las épocas y en todas las latitudes. Juana de Arco, Inés de Castro, Ana Bolena, María Estuardo, Mata Hari, Diana de Gales, Grace Kelly o Diane Fossey murieron víctimas de la intolerancia de quienes las rodeaban o por haber cometido el delito de amar apasionadamente.

In Unbounded, she shares galvanising stories of what she has lived and learned through experiencing racism, sexism, financial hardship, intergenerational trauma, homophobia and mental health challenges.
