Gloria Steinem Orden de los libros (cronológico)

"For decades -- and especially now in these times of crisis -- people around the world have found guidance, humor, and unity in Gloria Steinem's gift for creating quotes that inspire action and create hope. From her early days as a journalist and feminist activist, up to today, Steinem's words have helped generations to empower themselves and work together. Gloria sees quotes as 'the poetry of everyday life,' so she also has included a few favorites from friends, including bell hooks, Flo Kennedy, Michelle Obama, and more, in this anthology of quotes that will make you want to laugh, march, and create some of your own. At the end of the book, there is a special space for each reader to add their own quotes and others they've found. Covering topics from relationships ('Many are looking for the right person. Too few are looking to be the right person.') to patriarchy ('Men are liked better when they win. Women are liked better when they lose. This is how patriarchy is enforced every day.') and activism ('Change, like a tree, grows from the bottom up.'), plus an introduction and essays by Steinem, this is the definitive collection of her words on many of the topics that matter most today. The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off! is both timeless and timely. It is a gift of hope from Gloria to readers, that they will want to share with friends"-- Provided by publisher

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.»

For decades, Gloria Steinem has led a social revolution against injustice. In Revolution from Within -- called "the ultimate self-help book" by the Los Angeles Times -- she sets out to restore the self-authority that such injustice has undermined. "A fine triumph...Succeeds in holding the feminist course while expanding its horizons to include everyone." --Time "Revolution from Within has a special sweetness -- that of triumph. Gloria Steinem dared to look behind the bravely smiling face she presented to the world for many years to encounter a not-so-bravely-smiling inner self. This meeting will strike sparks of recognition and encouragement." --Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple

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.

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.

Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions—a phenomenal success that sold nearly half a million copies since its original publication in 1983—is Gloria Steinem's most diverse and timeless collection of essays. Both male and female readers have acclaimed it as a witty, warm, and life-changing view of the world—"as if women mattered." Steinem's truly personal writing is here, from the humorous exposé "I Was a Playboy Bunny" to the moving tribute to her mother "Ruth's Song (Because She Could Not Sing It)" to prescient essays on female genital mutilation and the difference between erotica and pornography. The satirical and hilarious "If Men Could Menstruate" alone is worth the price of admission.This second edition features a new preface by the author and added notes on classic essays.
