A classic work of feminist scholarship, Ain't I a Woman has become a must for all those interested in the nature of Black womanhood. Examining the impact of sexism on Black women during slavery, the devaluation of black womanhood, black male sexism, racism among feminists, and the black woman's involvement with feminism, hooks attempts to move us beyond racist and sexist assumptions. The result is nothing short of groundbreaking, giving this work a critical place in every feminist scholar's library.

For the audio book version, Dr. Warren Farrell personally rewrote the highlights of The Myth of Male Power as a dialogue. The questions are similar to what others will ask you when you discuss these issues. You’ll have Dr. Farrell’s best answers. The Myth of Male Power helps each family member understand that genuine power is neither status nor money, but “control over one's life.” He documents that virtually every society that has survived has done so by persuading its sons to be disposable--whether in war or in work; and therefore indirectly as dads. And disposability is not power. Considered the Bible of men's studies—yet highly empathetic to women (Dr. Farrell was repeatedly elected to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC)-- the meticulously researched The Myth of Male Power takes the listener on a captivating journey around the world, throughout history, biology, the Bible, the law, and everyday life, challenging every currently-held assumption about men, women and the family.

"Verantwortungsvoll ejakulieren" ist der provokante Debattentext für alle, die keine Angst davor haben, patriarchal geprägte Tabus zu brechen. Gabrielle Blair knöpft sich in diesem New York Times-Bestseller den Mythos vor, dass Verhütung Frauensache sei. In 28 bestechenden Argumenten legt sie dar, warum sich Männer darum kümmern müssen – aus physiologischen ebenso wie aus Gerechtigkeitsgründen. Denn Männer können lebenslang 24/7 Kinder zeugen, während Frauen pro Zyklus nur einen Tag fruchtbar sind. Darüber hinaus können Frauen ihren Eisprung nicht verhindern, während Männer ihren Samen durchaus lenken können – und sei es in ein Kondom.

Es ist 2022 und Menstruation ist immer noch ein Tabuthema. Die Journalistin Inga Weßling will das ändern und getreu dem Motto "Es ist doch nur Blut" trifft sie in diesem Reportage-Podcast auf menstruierende, forschende und zuweilen auf prominente Menschen, um ungeniert in die Diskussion zu gehen. Dabei trifft sie auch auf sich selber und stellt fest: die Politik, die Arbeit, die Liebe, die Umwelt, unsere Gesundheit und die Gesellschaft - Menstruation betrifft alles. Immer! Und es gibt viel darüber zu lernen - für Frauen und Männer.

Was bedeutet Freiheit, wenn sie nicht nur gedacht, sondern gelebt werden muss, gegen Konventionen, gegen Erwartungsdruck, gegen die bequemen Rollenbilder einer ganzen Epoche? Dieses Hörbuch öffnet Ihnen den Zugang zu Simone de Beauvoir, Existenzialistin, Feministin und Generationenvorbild, und zeigt, warum ihre Stimme bis heute so kraftvoll ist, weil sie Denken und Leben untrennbar machte. Mit dem 1949 veröffentlichten Werk „Das andere Geschlecht" wurde sie zur Wegbereiterin feministischer Literatur und löste Debatten aus, die bis heute nachhallen.

Riane Eisler reads this new, accessible adaptation of her ground-breaking classic The Chalice and the Blade, in which she combined original theory with noted scholarship to tell a new story of our cultural origins. Drawing evidence from literature, art, sociology, archeology, politics, and economics, she eloquently reconstructs a prehistoric culture based on partnership rather than domination. She then traces the roots of the global shift to patriarchy, showing that was and the "war of the sexes" are neither divinely nor biologically ordained.

Kinderfrei leben heißt, gegen soziale Erwartungen zu rebellieren - und ist deshalb auch eine feministische Entscheidung. Frauen, die sich gegen Nachwuchs entscheiden, sind die mutigen Vorreiterinnen einer Bewegung, die an Zuspruch gewinnen muss, wenn unser vom westlichen Lebensstil maßlos ausgebeuteter Planet noch länger bewohnbar und lebenswert bleiben soll. Verena Brunschweiger begibt sich als Soziologin und Philosophin, aber vor allem als feministische und ökologische Aktivistin mitten hinein in die Tabuzone unseres gesellschaftlichen Konsenses, der sich ein Lebensglück ohne Kinder nur schwer vorstellen kann.
