Títulos em Mulheres

Algumas mulheres conheceram o céu, outras o inferno; umas foram enaltecidas, santificadas, outras demonizadas; mas todas tocaram as profundezas do próprio ser, chegaram ao limite de sua condição e de seu tempo e se eternizaram na história. Ao tomar contato com a história e os dilemas vividos por figuras como Afrodite, Cinderela, Simone de Beauvoir e Virginia Woolf, a autora nos guia em uma viagem de resgate da essência perdida ao ressignificar o papel feminino no mundo.

A história das guerras costuma ser contada sob o ponto de vista masculino: soldados e generais, algozes e libertadores. Trata-se, porém, de um equívoco e de uma injustiça. Se em muitos conflitos as mulheres ficaram na retaguarda, em outros estiveram na linha de frente. É esse capítulo de bravura feminina que Svetlana Aleksiévitch reconstrói neste livro absolutamente apaixonante e forte. Quase um milhão de mulheres lutaram no Exército Vermelho durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas a sua história nunca foi contada.

Embora a origem do feminismo muitas vezes se restrinja à narrativa de "ondas", protagonizadas por um grupo restrito de mulheres, o movimento foi e continua a ser global. Amparada por uma sólida pesquisa, a historiadora Lucy Delap parte de oito grandes temas — sonhos, ideias, espaços, objetos, visuais, sentimentos, ações e canções — para examinar as diferentes formas pelas quais mulheres se mobilizaram pela igualdade de gênero ao redor do mundo.

When you think of serial killers throughout history, the names that come to mind are ones like Jack the Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy. But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, Kate Bender? The narrative we’re comfortable with is the one where women are the victims of violent crime, not the perpetrators. In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally, overwhelmingly male that in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared in a homicide conference, “There are no female serial killers.”

Antes de publicar este livro, em 1976, Merlin Stone passou quase uma década pesquisando as deusas na Antiguidade, período em que a vida social, política, econômica e cultural de muitos povos girava em torno da mulher. E como a religião tende a espelhar a figura dominante na sociedade que a pratica, a deidade feminina foi representada diversas vezes por esculturas e pinturas encontradas até hoje em vários sítios arqueológicos.

Nestes trechos de "Opúsculo humanitário", Nísia Floresta apresenta um panorama crítico da educação brasileira até o século XIX, com base nos relatos de viajantes estrangeiros que percorreram o país. Os testemunhos revelam um cenário marcado pela ausência de escolas, pela precariedade das primeiras instituições de ensino e pelo uso da palmatória como prática recorrente de disciplina. A educação feminina, quando existente, era marcada pela superficialidade e pela ausência de estímulo ao pensamento crítico.

Shortly after its 1925 publication, Gertrude Beasley's ferociously eloquent feminist memoir was banned and she herself disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Though British Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell called My First Thirty Years "truthful, which is illegal" and Larry McMurtry pronounced it the finest Texas book of its era, Beasley's words have been all but inaccessible for almost a century—until now.

Imagine a world in which women have all the power. A world in which they work together to shape their rules, their societies and their futures. In reality, all-women communities have always existed, and continue to thrive all over the world. She also takes us into today's women-led spaces, where women live on their own terms, showing us how we can rethink society for new ways of living, working and collaborating, often with less of a profit-driven mindset and a deeper connection to ancestry and nature.

There was a time when women’s health was repressed and breast cancer wasn’t discussed, but Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder refused to be silenced. Their courage ignited a movement that changed the way society addresses breast cancer. When these “radical sisters” were diagnosed, they faced a medical world of myths, outdated protocols, and a shocking lack of research. Breast cancer awareness was absent, and treatment options were scarce. Yet, Shirley, Rose, and Evelyn became trailblazing advocates for breast cancer research, early detection, and women’s health.

Eight women. Thousands of children saved. Unforgettable stories of courage. They were teachers, nurses, students—ordinary women who made extraordinary choices. In the darkest days of World War II, they risked everything to save the most vulnerable: the children. Saving the Children of the Holocaust tells their incredible stories.

Mothers make history. But what it has meant for mothers to do the physical and emotional work of mothering has, for centuries, been neglected in the stories of the past. Patriarchal control of motherhood has relegated the acts of growing, birthing, nurturing, and loving to the sidelines, and deemed it unimportant, women's work. Now, through the voices of women themselves, Elinor Cleghorn reclaims and retells the history of motherhood, showcasing the mothers, othermothers, midwives, activists, community leaders, and more who have shaped the course of history.

“Others make war; you, happy Austria, marry.” This unofficial dictum had for centuries kept the Habsburgs at the peak of power, but by 1764, the dynasty was in a precarious position. After a difficult accession and two lengthy wars, the Empress Maria Theresia faced enormous debts, restive subjects, and shaken political ties. True to Habsburg tradition, she sought the remedy in marriage alliances, and her arsenal was full: her seven daughters were to serve as her pawns in the ruthless game of eighteenth-century dynastic politicking.

How have secrets changed over the generations, and what does that tell us about ourselves and our world? According to a leading American psychotherapist most of us are keeping thirteen secrets at any one time. Secrets can thrill, but they are just as likely to torment; and the deepest ones echo far down the generations. As women traditionally sit at the heart of family life, their secrets can open a unique window onto wider society. We witness long-buried family secrets shared at last, their keepers set free.

Through raw and compelling testimonies from both sides of the community, Dillon explores the overlooked perspectives of women whose lives were impacted by the brutal conflict. Some were directly involved in violence as members of paramilitary organisations. Many witnessed the ruthless murders of family members. All were profoundly and irrevocably affected by the violence and its aftermath.

In Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, Loehnen partners with Courtney Smith, a renowned Enneagram expert and coach, to share tools they have learned from the visionary healers, thinkers, and therapists that prompt readers to dig into the stories they tell themselves.

Seit Jahrhunderten werden Frauen unterdrückt. Frauen, die in irgendeiner Weise Stärke ausgestrahlt, sich selbst ermächtigt und zur Wehr gesetzt haben, werden belächelt, verurteilt und dämonisiert. Auf der Suche nach den Ursprüngen von Female Rage taucht Tara-Louise Wittwer (Sorry, aber …) in die europäische Geschichte ein und erzählt die ungehörten Geschichten der Frauen, die sich gegen das männliche Narrativ der Schwäche und Passivität gestemmt haben. Von den Sagen der Antike, bis zur Realität des 21.

This revised edition of Ar'n't I a Woman? reviews and updates the scholarship on slave women and the slave family, exploring new ways of understanding the intersection of race and gender and comparing the myths that stereotyped female slaves with the realities of their lives. Above all, this groundbreaking study shows us how black women experienced freedom in the Reconstruction South—their heroic struggle to gain their rights, hold their families together, resist economic and sexual oppression, and maintain their sense of womanhood against all odds.
