Wie lebten Frauen in der Stein- und Bronzezeit? Wie waren die Geschlechterverhältnisse in der Zeit vor Erfindung der Schrift? Bis vor Kurzem waren alle Antworten auf diese Fragen mehr oder weniger Spekulation. Doch seit DNA-Analysen für die prähistorische Forschung zur Verfügung stehen, hat sich dies geändert. Die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Karin Bojs trägt die neuesten Ergebnisse zusammen und fragt, wann und warum das Patriarchat entstand. Die Prähistorikerin Marija Gimbutas hatte seit den 50er Jahren eine Theorie entwickelt, nach der in „Alteuropa“ eher friedliche, matrilineare Gesellschaften existiert hätten.

What happened when Jane Austen’s heroines and heroes were finally wed? Marriage is at the center of Jane Austen’s novels. The pursuit of husbands and wives, advantageous matches, and, of course, love itself, motivate her characters and continue to fascinate people today. But what were love and marriage like in reality for ladies and gentlemen in Regency England? Rory Muir uncovers the excitements and disappointments of courtship and the pains and pleasures of marriage, drawing on fascinating first-hand accounts as well as novels of the period.

¿Qué papel tuvieron las primeras mujeres en la prehistoria? ¿De verdad eran ellas las que se quedaban cuidando a la prole? ¿Cómo eran realmente la maternidad y la educación de los hijos? ¿En qué momento empezaron las mujeres a perder poder? En el relato que se ha construido de las sociedades prehistóricas, las mujeres han ocupado un lugar secundario que la ciencia no se ha preocupado por entender y explicar en profundidad hasta ahora, cuando el feminismo reivindica el papel fundamental de las mujeres en la historia.

Britain has traditionally been defined by its conflicts, its conquests, its men and its monarchs. It’s high time that it was defined by its women. In this unique history, Jenni Murray tells the stories of 21 women who refused to succumb to the established laws of society, whose lives embodied hope and change. Famous queens, forgotten visionaries, great artists and trailblazing politicians - all pushed back boundaries and revolutionised our world. In Murray’s hands their stories are enthralling and beguiling; they have the power to inspire us once again.

An audacious and accessible guide to feminist philosophy - its origins, its key ideas, and its latest directions. Think Like a Feminist is an irreverent yet rigorous primer that unpacks more than 200 years of feminist thought.

As a young civil servant, Caroline Slocock became the first ever female private secretary to any British Prime Minister and was at Margaret Thatcher's side for the final 18 months of her premiership. A left-wing feminist, Slocock was no natural ally, and yet she became fascinated by the woman behind the Iron Lady façade and by how she dealt with a world dominated by men. As events inexorably led to Margaret Thatcher's downfall, Slocock observed the vulnerabilities and contradictions of the woman considered by many to be the ultimate anti-feminist.  

"You will be a son, my daughter." With these stunning words Ukmina learned that she was to spend her childhood as a boy. In Afghanistan there is a widespread practice of girls dressing as boys to play the role of a son. These children are called bacha posh: literally "girls dressed as boys." This practice offers families the freedom to allow their child to shop and work - and in some cases, it saves them from the disgrace of not having a male heir. But in adolescence, religion restores the natural law.

In 1871, five young girls were sent by the Japanese government to the United States. Their mission: learn Western ways and return to help nurture a new generation of enlightened men to lead Japan. Raised in traditional samurai households during the turmoil of civil war, three of these unusual ambassadors - Sutematsu Yamakawa, Shige Nagai, and Ume Tsuda - grew up as typical American schoolgirls. Upon their arrival in San Francisco, they became celebrities.

L'audiolibro tratteggia sedici ritratti biografici di donne che hanno partecipato, anche senza essere militanti, a quel grande passaggio d'epoca che va sotto il nome di Sessantotto.

Due ribellioni diverse, una pacifica e una violenta, emblematiche di quegli anni.

Queen of Thieves is the gritty, fast-paced story of Fredericka "Marm" Mandelbaum, a poor Jewish woman who rose to the top of her profession in organized crime during the Gilded Age in New York City. During her more than twenty-five-year reign as the country’s top receiver of stolen goods, she accumulated great wealth and power inconceivable for women engaged in business, legitimate or otherwise.

Generations of children have fallen in love with the pioneer saga of the Ingalls family, of Pa and Ma, Laura and her sisters, and their loyal dog. Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books have taught millions of Americans about frontier life, giving inspiration to many and in the process becoming icons of our national identity. Yet few realize that this best-selling series wandered far from the actual history of the Ingalls family and from what Laura herself understood to be central truths about pioneer life.

Il 16 giugno 1743 sulla strada per Siena un giovane servitore in fuga d'amore con la sua bella viene raggiunto dagli inseguitori; ferito da un'archibugiata, morirà pochi giorni dopo. Componendone le spoglie, all'ospedale si scopre che quel garzone, già in fama di dongiovanni impenitente, è in realtà una donna. Un medico famoso si appassiona al fatto e lo ricostruisce: Caterina Vizzani, questo il suo nome, per otto anni si era finta uomo per poter seguire, al riparo di un'identità maschile, la sua allora illecita inclinazione per le donne.

On Sarah A. Chrisman's 29th birthday, her husband, Gabriel, presented her with a corset. The material and the design were breathtakingly beautiful, but her mind immediately filled with unwelcome views. Although she had been in love with the Victorian era all her life, she had specifically asked her husband not to buy her a corset - ever. She'd heard how corsets affected the female body and what they represented, and she wanted none of it.

Il risorgimento fu l'aspirazione di un popolo intero - in tutte le sue diverse componenti - verso l'unità, e quell'anelito fu alimentato prevalentemente dalle giovani generazioni. Le Cinque giornate di Milano, la rivolta di Palermo, la rivitalizzazione dell'esperimento di fine Settecento della Repubblica romana e la strenua difesa della risorta Repubblica di San Marco, furono i momenti storici che cementarono definitivamente il connubio tra popolo italiano e l'idea di patria. Si trovarono a combattere fianco a fianco esponenti dei ceti professionali, artigiani, popolani, artisti.

Le protagoniste di questo libro sono trentaquattro donne, intraprendenti, controcorrente, spesso perseguitate, a volte incomprese ma forti e generose, sempre pronte a lottare per raggiungere traguardi che sembravano inarrivabili, se non addirittura impensabili: da Ilaria Alpi, la giornalista uccisa mentre indagava su scomode verità, a Kathrine Switzer, la prima donna a correre la maratona di Boston; da Ipazia, che nel IV secolo, contro i divieti ecclesiastici, osò scrutare il cielo per rivelare il movimento dei pianeti, a Olympe de Gouges.

We begin with the French Revolution when one woman took on the Fraternite of man, then it's off to America to round up the other rebels who paved the way, fighting side by side for freedom with their men. In Australia we celebrate a mass mooning by female convicts of Queen Victoria's vice-regent and his lady wife, and the dogged, often desperate courage of all the women who dared to think that they could change the world.

White women are one of the most influential demographics in America - we are the largest voting bloc, with purchasing power that exceeds anybody else’s, and when we unify to demand change, we are a force with which to be reckoned. Yet, so many of us sit idly on the sidelines, opting out of raising our hands to do, learn, and engage in ways that could make a difference. Why?   

A heroine for our times, Etta Lemon campaigned for 50 years against the worldwide slaughter of birds for extravagantly feathered hats. Her legacy is the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (the RSPB), grown from an all-female pressure group of 1889 with the splendidly simple pledge: Wear No Feathers. Etta’s long battle against ‘murderous millinery’ triumphed with the Plumage Act of 1921 - but her legacy has been eclipsed by the more glamorous campaign for the vote, led by the elegantly plumed Emmeline Pankhurst.
