Frame is the first in a series, descripting the work of thousands of men over a decade who have learned how to create a positive male identity in a world that not only lacks it, but punishes it. This first volume describes the tetrahedron of frame, and how to use it to calm the chaos in a suboptimal life, and drive towards something better: self actualization.

Die meisten kennen ihn: den Traum von Familie. Doch wenn er wahrgeworden ist, entpuppt er sich für viele Elternpaare als Albtraum. Plötzlich streitet man sich über Dinge wie eine gerechte Aufgabenverteilung, unterschiedliche Vorstellungen in Sachen Erziehung, ungleiche Bedürfnisse, wenn es um Themen wie Freiheit und Zweisamkeit, Sex und Zärtlichkeit geht. Das hat die Familienpsychologin und Paartherapeutin Nina Grimm am eigenen Leib erfahren: Sie und ihr Partner lebten zwischen der Geburt ihrer beiden gemeinsamen Kinder ein Jahr getrennt.

The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right? Wrong, argues Louise Perry in her provocative new book.

Der Held muss in die weite Welt hinaus und Abenteuer erleben, um ein Held zu werden – und eine Geschichte zu haben. Und was ist mit der Heldin? Doris Dörrie erzählt von drei Reisen – nach San Francisco, nach Japan und nach Marokko – und davon, als Frau in der Welt unterwegs zu sein. Sich dem Ungewissen, Fremden auszusetzen heißt immer auch, den eigenen Ängsten, Abhängigkeiten, Verlusten ins Auge zu sehen. Und dabei zur Heldin der eigenen Geschichte zu werden.

Hey, I'm Jamie, a 29-year-old trans guy from the UK. I've been transitioning for 12 years now after realising I was trans (by accident!) at sixteen years old. I knew I was a boy since the age of four, but realised whilst growing up that I was different. It was only in my teens that I found the words to express who I was and what I needed to do. Since then, I've been on testosterone for more than a decade - I know, I can't believe it either - I've also had top and bottom surgery and legally changed my sex, so I know a few things about the transitioning process and being trans!

Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing the first clothing created from spun fibers. In fact, right up to the Industrial Revolution the fiber arts were an enormous economic force, belonging primarily to women. Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. Much of this gap results from the extreme perishability of what women produced, but it seems clear that until now descriptions of prehistoric and early historic cultures have omitted virtually half the picture. 

A major new work by a leading historian and pioneer in women's studies, The Creation of Patriarchy is a radical reconceptualization of Western civilization that makes gender central to its analysis. Gerda Lerner argues that male dominance over women is not "natural" or biological, but the product of an historical development begun in the second millennium BC in the Ancient Near East. As patriarchy as a system of organizing society was established historically, she contends, it can also be ended by the historical process.

These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status.

The Heroine’s Journey describes contemporary woman’s search for wholeness in a society where she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for — and the reality of — feminine values in Western culture.

What does it mean to be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again. In the last few decades a revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biology. Lucy Cooke introduces us to a riotous cast of animals, and the scientists studying them, that are redefining the female of the...

In ihrem Buch erklärt Dr. med. Alicia Baier, Gynäkologin und Gründerin von Doctors for Choice Germany, die medizinischen und politischen Grundlagen. Dabei wird klar: Die aktuelle rechtliche Regelung verursacht nicht nur große Probleme in der medizinischen Praxis, sondern folgt auch patriarchalen Mustern und ist ein Einfallstor für rechte Ideologien.

When Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual audiences frequently found the theory unsettling or provocative. Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in this audiobook remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.

One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past 50 years, Judith Butler's Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, "essential" notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category "woman" and continues in this vein with examinations of "the masculine" and "the feminine." Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.

In "Untenrum frei" erzählt die Autorin und Spiegel-Online-Kolumnistin Margarete Stokowski, wie es ist, als Mädchen in Deutschland aufzuwachsen. Sie schreibt von unzulänglichem Aufklärungsunterricht, von Gewalterlebnissen, von Sex und von Liebe und zeigt: Noch immer besteht mit Blick auf die Geschlechtergerechtigkeit eine kollektive Schieflage. Für Veränderung im Großen, so Stokowskis These, bedarf es den Blick auf die Details. Ein persönliches, provokantes und befreiendes (Hör-)Buch.

Lena Kupke ist genau so, wie es dieser Name vermuten lässt – ein deutsches weißes Mädchen, das zunächst die Erwartungen anderer erfüllt. Bis sie alles, also ihren Bachelor, hinschmeißt und das einzig Wahre macht: Sie schreibt sich die Hauptrolle in ihrer eigenen Telenovela. So sieht privilegierte "Rebellion" aus. Wie das alles mit Periodengeschichten auf der Stand-Up-Comedy-Bühne enden konnte, weiß sie selbst nicht genau.
