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.

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.

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.

O audiolivro sobre a arqueóloga Niéde Guidon, guardiã de um dos maiores sítios de pinturas rupestres do mundo, o Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara, patrimônio cultural da humanidade. Neste perfil da arqueóloga Niéde Guidon, a jornalista Adriana Abujamra revela a bravura e a doçura daquela que dedicou sua vida a proteger o maior tesouro arqueológico brasileiro, a despeito das opressões estruturais e da falta de apoio do Estado.

O que sabemos sobre as mulheres pré-históricas? Historiadores, antropólogos, arqueólogos, etnólogos, geneticistas tentam responder a essa questão há décadas, e a descoberta da estatueta Vênus de Renancourt, em 2019, pôs em xeque as mais diversas certezas sobre o tema. Amplamente amparado em evidências científicas, cada capítulo deste livro desconstrói ideias preconcebidas e preconceitos, desenhando um retrato inédito da mulher no período pré-histórico ― uma figura mais próxima de nós e do nosso tempo do que poderíamos imaginar.

Fortes, intrigantes, resistentes. Os mitos femininos ao longo dos séculos contam um pouco acerca de todas as mulheres. Suas histórias não são diferentes do que vemos hoje: são contos de amor, beleza, ciúme, dominação, revolta. Em mundos governados por homens, as divindades e personagens míticas femininas levantaram as vozes para se impor e conquistar seus espaços.

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, Elise 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 listeners to dig into the stories they tell themselves. These tools guide us to peel back the layers of cultural programming that prevent us from expressing our full potential. The paradigm-shifting process Loehnen and Smith teach in this workbook reveals the answers to the questions that tug at our souls: Who am I? What do I want? What’s standing in my way?

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.

The experiences of heroic older women have traditionally been dismissed or buried in history books, and the skateboarding industry has mirrored this trend. Female skateboarders rarely get mentioned beyond a token paragraph, and stories of their contributions and barrier-breaking have almost never been told. Until now. With enthusiasm and empathy, Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides celebrates the relentless participation of women in skateboarding from the 1960s onward who defied a hostile industry to carve out their own space through underground networks.

In the years before World War II, thousands of young Jewish men and women escaped Europe, seeking safety in the British Mandate for Palestine. By 1942, horrifying reports began to spread about ghettos being liquidated, industrialized killing centers in Poland, and a chilling campaign to exterminate Europe’s entire Jewish population. When it became clear that the Allies were unwilling to spare any forces from the war effort to save civilians, the Jewish community in Palestine came up with a daring plan.

Born on a Montana ranch in 1880, Jeannette Rankin knew how to ride a horse, make a fire, and read the sky for weather. But most of all, she knew how to talk to people, how to convince them of her vision for America. It was this rare skill that led her, in 1916, to become the first woman ever elected to the House of Representatives. As her first act, Rankin introduced the legislation that would become the 19th Amendment. Throughout her two terms in 1916 and 1940, she continued to introduce and pass legislation benefiting unions, protecting workers, and increasing aid for children in poverty.

Patricia and Jean Owtram are possibly the only living sisters to have signed the wartime Official Secrets Act. Raised in a Lancashire country house in the 1920s, the family takes in two Austrian Jewish refugees, and the sisters quickly become fluent in German—which will go on to shape their roles forever.

Hon har valt ett personligt anslag med inslag av både den egna uppväxten och sin långa erfarenhet av yrkeslivet.

Mark Twain called it the Gilded Age. Between 1870 and 1900, the United States’ population doubled, accompanied by an unparalleled industrial expansion and an explosion of wealth. America was the foremost nation of the world, and New York City was its beating heart. There, the richest and most influential—Thomas Edison, J. P. Morgan, Edith Wharton, the Vanderbilts, Andrew Carnegie, and more—became icons, whose comings and goings were breathlessly reported in the papers of Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. It was a time of abundance, but also bitter rivalries.
