Considerado como una biblia por una nueva generación de mujeres,Los monólogos de la vaginaes un libro agudo eirreverente. La obra maestra de Ensler que da voz a las fantasías y los temores más profundos del sexo femenino. «Me preocupan las vaginas. Me preocupaba lo que pensamos sobre las vaginas, y lo que no pensamos acerca de ellas... De modo que decidí hablar a las mujeres acerca de sus vaginas, entrevistar a la vagina, y así comenzaron los monólogos de la vagina. »Hablé con más de doscientas mujeres. Hablé con mujeres ancianas, con mujeres jóvenes, casadas, solteras, profesoras, actrices, profesionales, afroamericanas, hispanas, asiáticas, judías... Al principio se mostraban renuentes, un poco tímidas. Pero una vez que empezaban, no había modo de que parasen.»

Now in paperback: a set of very personal perspectives on America's most divisive social issue, from 25 well-known writers, performers, and others, including Rita Moreno, Margot Kidder, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Linda Ellerbee. Together they reveal the intensely personal nature of the decision and the harm that results from restricting that choice.

The Berlin Wall has fallen, the Iron Curtain is sundered; in a geopolitical instant Marxism is erased from the blackboard of history with little pain and minor cost. A delusion of course, as Drakulic, a leading Yugoslavian writer from Croatia, proves in this brilliant work of reportage filtered through personal experience.

Safe drinking water and a pollution-free environment hold little value in the current economic accounting system, which also marginalizes women as 'non-producers.' Marilyn Waring, a former New Zealand M.P. and now a professor and development consultant, critiques this gender bias in the calculation of national wealth. She highlights how issues like nuclear warfare, environmental conservation, and poverty are excluded from traditional economic value assessments. Consequently, public policy, shaped by these flawed accounting methods, often neglects the environment and half of the global population. Originally published in 1988, this classic feminist analysis has been updated in this reprinted edition, featuring a new introduction by Waring. In her introduction, she revisits and expands upon the original chapters, providing updated information and examples. With an accessible and often humorous tone, Waring explains the shortcomings of current economic systems and outlines strategies to ensure that both environmental significance and women's labor contributions are recognized and valued.

A study of Marilyn Monroe by an American feminist including extracts from Marilyn's own unfinished autobiography and from George Barris who interviewed her just before she died.

Esta obra clásica de psicología femenina presenta siete diosas arquetípicas para describir patrones de comportamiento y rasgos de personalidad. La psicoanalista Jean Bolen ganó prominencia en la década de 1980 con su publicación innovadora, cautivando a miles de mujeres que buscaban identificar sus diosas internas. La premisa de Bolen sugiere que las mujeres, a menudo inconscientes del impacto de los estereotipos culturales, también pasan por alto poderosas fuerzas arquetípicas dentro de sí mismas que moldean sus acciones y emociones, contribuyendo a diferencias significativas entre ellas. Argumenta que entender estos patrones internos y sus interconexiones ofrece alternativas empoderadoras que trascienden dicotomías tradicionales como masculino/femenino o profesional/ama de casa. A través de la lente de siete diosas arquetípicas—como la independiente Artemisa, la sabia Atenea, la nutricia Deméter y la creativa Afrodita—Bolen ilustra cómo las mujeres pueden identificar qué rasgos cultivar o superar. Resalta que conectarse con estos arquetipos duraderos puede llevar a un mayor autoconocimiento y plenitud, permitiendo a las mujeres convertirse en las heroínas de sus propias historias.

A bestselling first collection of humorous and insightful essays by a luminary of the women's liberation movement These essays from Gloria Steinem's first three decades of work offer a portrait of a woman who was not only one of the savviest leaders of the women's liberation movement, but also a profoundly humane thinker with a wide-ranging intellect and irresistible wit. In "If Men Could Menstruate," Steinem engages readers in a flight of imagination as incisive as it is hilarious. She offers first-person journalism in her underground expos"e" "I Was a Playboy Bunny," provides heartbreaking memoir in the story of her mother's struggles in "Ruth's Song," and stakes important positions in feminist theory in "Erotica vs. Pornography."
