Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffeehouses and lived on country estates; they breathed ink dust from printing presses and escaped people traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. The person responsible was never identified, but the character created by the press to fill that gap has become far more famous than any of these five women.

Sie erforscht die Überschneidungen von Geschlecht und Macht, indigener Spiritualität und kolonialer Herrschaft sowie politischer Verschwörung und individuellem Widerstand - und zeigt, wie in jeder Epoche und an jedem Ort der Welt Angst als Waffe gegen unliebsame Menschen eingesetzt werden kann.

Obwohl Geburten zentral für unser gesellschaftliches Zusammenleben und Fortbestehen sind, bleiben konkrete Erfahrungen des Geborenwerdens und Gebärens oft im Dunkeln und werden im öffentlichen Diskurs häufig als »Nischenthema« oder spezielle Ausnahmeerfahrung mit begrenzter gesellschaftlicher Relevanz diskutiert. Helena Barop findet die Ursachen dafür in einer bis heute nachwirkenden Kultur der Bevormundung von Schwangeren unter der Geburt.

Helen Lewis argues that feminism’s success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines. It’s time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women.

In Erotic Exchanges, Nina Kushner reveals the complex world of elite prostitution in 18th-century Paris by focusing on the professional mistresses who dominated it. In this demimonde, these dames entretenues exchanged sex, company, and sometimes even love for being "kept". Most of these women entered the profession unwillingly, either because they were desperate and could find no other means of support or because they were sold by family members to brothels or to particular men.
