A lively, informative, and engaging guide to gender by an author-illustrator who helps readers understand the multiplicity of answers to “What even is gender?”Queer, cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, androgynous, maverique, intergender, genderfluid. Louie and their cat (a.k.a. “Cat”) take you on a journey through the world of gender—without claiming to have it all figured out or knowing the perfect definition for this widely complex subject. Gender is tricky to understand because it’s a social construct intersecting with many other parts of our identity, including class, race, age, religion. For a long time, people thought of gender as binary: male/female, pirate/princess, sports/shopping. Now, we’re starting to understand it’s not that simple. That’s what this book is about: figuring out what gender means, one human being at a time, and giving us new ways to let the world know who we are.Boy, girl, either/or, neither/nor, everything in between: gender is a spectrum, and it’s hard to know where you fit, especially when your position isn’t necessarily fixed—and the spectrum keeps expanding. That’s where Rethinking Gender can help: it gives you a toolbox for empathy, understanding, and self-exploration. Louie’s journey includes a deep dive into the historical context of LGBTQIA+ rights activism and the evolution of gender discourse, politics, and laws—but it also explores these ideas through the diversity of expressions and experiences of people today.In Rethinking Gender Louie offers a real-world take on what it means to be yourself, see yourself, and see someone else for who they are, too. Questions explored in Rethinking Gender include: What is cisgender? Dysphoria? Non-binary? Intersex? Intersectionality?Are sex and gender biological? Cultural? Social? Personal?What do race, religion, age, and education have to do with it?How do we recognize stereotypes, and what can we do about them?Do physical characteristics determine sex, and, if not, what does?How common is it not to fit in the box checked M or F?When is surgery or medical intervention called for, and who gets to decide?How have ideas about gender changed over time?What is gender identity, how do we know ours, and how do we talk to someone whose gender is different from our own?

Diane Morrisey got an Instagram account to spy on her six kids. One day, on a whim, she posted a photo of a cake she’d made. Before she knew it, she had a following asking for recipes and encouragement. So began Diane’s new life phase: teaching people how to pull together a meal in a cinch.A self-taught home cook and former caterer with six grownish kids, Diane Morrisey knows what people want to eat—and what they can cook in the short window most of us have to get dinner on the table. The 100 simple recipes in You Got This! are designed to give cooks confidence and new ideas to get out of the “what to cook” rut. Designed for carnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians, alike, they make and break the rules: they lean on what you already have on hand, and celebrate the idea that sometimes dinner isn’t the whole shebang, but rather something that’s dinner-ish. That’s when Diane takes a package of store-bought pizza dough to make Butter Chicken Calzones. In Diane’s hands, quick cheesy numbers such as Sheet Pan Lasagna and lighter fare like Seared Salmon with Orange Avocado Salad come together in a snap. Veg-forward dishes including Roasted Cauliflower Curry and Sesame Green Beans with Crispy Tofu bring bold flavor and nourishment, while meals in bowls, such as Ginger Pork Vermicelli, have a place here, too. With gorgeous four-color photography throughout and tips on every page, You Got This! will empower those who are new to cooking and inspire anyone stuck in a “what to cook” rut.

Antoinette Burton argues that gender history is hiding in plain sight, at work everywhere we look.This volume introduces the field of gender history--its origins, development, reception, recalibrations, and frictions. It offers a set of working definitions of gender as a descriptive category and as a category of historical analysis, tracing the emergence, usage, and applicability of these entwined subjects across a range of times and places since the 1970s.Inevitably political, gender history has taken aim at the broader field of historical narrative by asking who counts as a historical subject, what difference gender makes, and how attention to it subverts reigning assumptions of what power, culture, economics, and identity have been in the past--and what they are today. The book explores how gender analysis has changed interpretations of the histories of slavery, capitalism, migration, and empire. As a field, gender history has been extraordinarily influential in shaping several generations of scholars and students. The fact that its early emphasis on the relationship between masculinity and femininity was part of a larger set of challenges to universal history by poststructuralism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism positions it at the heart of some of the most fractious intellectual debates of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. And, as part of the movement toward gender equality that is key to modern western progress, gender history has been caught up in the culture wars that continue to shape post-global society. What is intriguing and ultimately defining about gender history is the way that the centrality of gender, so important for revealing how identity is structured in and through regimes of power, has been unable to hold its own over the half century of the field s own history. The practice of gender history has always run up against the forces of race, class, and sexuality that challenge the singularity of gender itself as an explanatory category of historical analysis. That powerful, unruly tension is at the heart of this Very Short Introduction.

What is gender? What should gender look like in the 21st century? This book brings together philosophy with insights from feminist and transgender theory to argue for gender pluralism: that there should be more than two genders, and that each gender term should have multiple meanings. Developing an explicitly political version of conceptual engineering, What Gender Should Be contains novel and powerful arguments both against existing theories of gender such as family resemblance accounts and against gender abolition, underlining how each is insufficient for thinking about and doing justice to contemporary transgender identities and politics. Instead, Matthew J. Cull argues that we should be pluralists about gender, putting forward and advocating for a position that is more apt for contemporary transgender and feminist activism. The 21st century requires a new way of thinking about gender. What Gender Should Be sets out to provide it.

When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of 48, she was already a significant influence—even something of a legend—for serious photographers, although only a relatively small number of her most important pictures were widely known at the time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in 1972—along with the posthumous retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art—offered the general public its first encounter with the breadth and power of her achievements. The response was unprecedented. The monograph, composed of 80 photographs, was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in producing the book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by which Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged as a photobook classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with editions in five languages, and remains the foundation of her international reputation. A quarter of a century has done nothing to diminish the riveting impact of these pictures or the controversy they inspire. Arbus photographs penetrate the psyche with all the force of a personal encounter and, in doing so, transform the way we see the world and the people in it.

After graduating from Harvard Law School, Obama spent several years as an attorney at a prestigious Chicago law firm before committing her efforts to public service and community outreach. When her husband, Barack Obama, was elected president in 2008, she began a new chapter of her life as the first Black woman to serve as First Lady of the United States of America.

The expectation used to be that men would be masculine and women would be feminine, and this was assumed to come naturally to them in virtue of their biology. That orthodoxy persists today in many parts of society. On this view, sex is gender and gender is sex.A new view of gender has emerged in recent years, a view on which gender is an identity , a way that people feel about themselves in terms of masculinity or femininity, regardless of their sex. On this view, sex is dismissed as unimportant, and gender is made paramount.In the rush to celebrate this new view of gender, we have lost sight of a more powerful challenge to the traditional orthodoxy, namely the feminist sex/gender distinction according to which sex is biological and gender is social. On this view, gender is something done to people on the basis of sex. Women are socialised to conform to norms of femininity (and sanctioned for failure), and masculinity and femininity exist in a hierarchy in which femininity is devalued. This view helps us to understand injustice against women, and what we can do about it.Holly Lawford-Smith introduces and defends gender-critical feminism, a theory and movement that reclaims the sex/gender distinction, insists upon the reality and importance of sex, and continues to understand gender as a way that men and women are made to be, rather than a way they really are.

This timely manifesto calls for a future free from gender-based assumptions about human potential. Written by the internationally renowned neuroscientist whose game-changing research debunks the myth of male and female brains.For generations we ve been taught that women and men differ in profound ways. Women are supposedly more sensitive and cooperative, whereas men are more aggressive and sexual because this or that region in the brains of women is larger or smaller than in the brains of men, or because they have more or less of this or that hormone. This story seems to provide us with a neat biological explanation for much of what we encounter in day-to-day life. It s even sometimes used to explain why, for example, most teachers are women and most engineers are men. But is it true? Using the ground-breaking results from her own lab and from other recent studies, neuroscientist Daphna Joel shows that it is not. Instead, argues Joel, every brain - and every human being - is a mosaic, or mixture, of female and male characteristics. With urgent practical implications for the world around us, this is a fascinating look at gender - how it works, its history and its future - and a sorely needed investigation into the false basis of our most fundamental beliefs. Perfect for readers of Mary Beard s Women Power, Cordelia Fine s Testosterone Rex, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie s We Should All Be Feminists and Gina Rippon s The Gendered Brain. Brilliantly accessible. Gender Mosaic takes you on a fascinating scientific journey that will transform how you think about sex, gender and the brain.

Gender is a polyphonic portrait of the representation of gender in art, from acclaimed, award-winning playwright and artist Travis Alabanza.  Gender is performance. Think of the acts of drama that go hand in hand with our experiences of gender: a man spreading his legs on a train; a woman showing biceps in a boiler suit saying, “We Can Do It!”; a stiletto heel stepping on a briefcase. It seems wherever gender goes, there follows a show of what it might be trying to say. Art is also wrapped up in performance. We see a piece of art as a still of a performance in motion, a moment of drama, a snapshot, a glimpse into a spectacle—it captures a breath to be immortalized.  In this book, celebrated playwright and artist Travis Alabanza offers a revelatory new perspective on the ways that art and gender have interacted through the ages, taking us into the drama that always follows gender, and the drama that always follows art. Through a number of recognizable works from the national collection of art at Tate, we discover who is really putting on a show, and what they are trying to tell us.  Includes Color Photographs

DVD film Gorily v mlze - Příběh Dian Fosseyové [1988]. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Sigourney Weaver, Bryan Brown. Její život skončil předčasně. Její životní dílo přetrvává. Inspirativní, pravdivý příběh Dian Fosseyové. Uprostřed hluboké zeleně, prozařované záblesky slunečního svitu, si v tropickém pralese Rwandy hraje a dovádí rodina horských goril. Spolu s nimi tu sedí žena, která napodobuje jejich pohyby, předstírá, že žvýká listy a nakonec se jí dostane přijetí od dominantního samce stáda. Ta žena je Dian Fosseyová. Pozoruhodný příběh průkopnické antropoložky Fosseyové se před námi odvíjí ve filmu, který režisér Michael Apted natočil převážně v autentickém prostředí horských goril ve Rwandě. Sigourney Weaver představuje Fosseyovou způsobem, který jí vynesl Zlatý glóbus pro nejlepší herečku: jako charismatickou, rozhodnou ženu, hnanou cílevědomostí, která byla její silou a možná vedla k její tragické vraždě.Bonusy:• Ze zákulisí• Trailer

Malá Michelle Robinsonová vyrůstala v jižní části Chicaga, bydlela ve společném pokoji s bratrem Craigem a hrávala si s ním v nedalekém parku. Její rodiče, Fraser a Marian Robinsonovi, ji odmalička vedli k nebojácnosti a otevřenosti. Postupně ji život zavál mnohem dál: přes kampus Princetonské univerzity, kde poprvé pocítila, jaké to je být jediná černoška v přednáškové aule, až do proskleného kancelářského věžáku na post vysoce postavené firemní právničky. Tady se také jednoho letního dopoledne objevil student práv jménem Barack Obama. V knize Můj příběh Michelle Obamová líčí počáteční léta svého manželství, kdy se snažila sladit práci a rodinu se strmě stoupající politickou kariérou svého muže. S grácií, humorem a nevídanou upřímností nám nabízí sugestivní pohled do zákulisí oněch chvil, kdy její rodina přelomovým způsobem vstoupila na světovou scénu, i na osm historických let, jež prožila v Bílém domě - na to, jak se postupně seznamovala se svou zemí a její země se seznamovala s ní. Michelle Obamová nás ve svých vzpomínkách nechá nahlédnout do duše jedinečné, průkopnické osobnosti, jež se snaží žít nearanžovaný život a své síly i hlas propůjčuje do služeb vyšších ideálů.

V knize Světlo v nás navazuje se čtenáři otevřený a upřímný dialog a zabývá se otázkami, s nimiž mnozí z nás zápolí: Jak si vybudovat trvalé a upřímné vztahy? Jak objevit sílu a pospolitost i přes rozdílné názory? Jak se vypořádat s pochybnostmi o sobě samých či pocity bezmoci? Co dělat, když už je toho na nás moc? Michelle Obamová nabízí čtenářům nové příběhy a bystré postřehy na téma změn, výzev a moci, včetně svého přesvědčení, že když se rozsvítíme pro ostatní, osvětlíme tím bohatství a potenciál okolního světla, odhalíme hlubší pravdy a nové cesty pokroku. Vychází ze svých zkušeností matky, dcery, manželky, přítelkyně a první dámy a prozrazuje, jaké návyky a principy si vypracovala, aby se úspěšně přizpůsobila změnám a překonala rozmanité překážky - dělí se s námi o získanou moudrost, jež jí pomáhá dál psát její příběh . Popisuje ty nejužitečnější praktiky, mezi něž patří například začínat den radostně, nesnižovat se k podlostem a vytvořit si vlastní společenství kuchyňského stolu z důvěryhodných přátel a moudrých lidí. Se svým typickým humorem, otevřeností a porozuměním se také zabývá rasovými, genderovými a dalšími společenskými otázkami, aby čtenářům pomohla překonat obavy, čerpat sílu ze své komunity a nebát se žít. Když rozpoznáme vlastní světlo, dokážeme ho použít, říká Michelle Obamová.

From challenging expectations as a bright and restless child of the Windrush generation to making history as the first elected Black female MP in the UK, Diane Abbott has seen it all.A Woman Like Me takes readers through Dianeâ ™s incredible journey, painting a vivid picture of growing up in 1960s North London with her working-class Jamaican parents, before entering the hallowed halls of Cambridge University to study history. Ever since the day she first walked through the House of Commons as the first Black woman MP, she has been a fearless and vocal champion for the causes that have made Britain what it is today, whether itâ ™s increasing access to education for Black children and speaking out against the Iraq war or advocating tirelessly for refugees and immigrants.A unique figure in British public life, Diane has often had nothing but the courage of her convictions to carry her through incredibly hostile environments, from torrential abuse in the mainstream media and on social media, to being shunned by the political establishment, including by her own party. Written with frankness and wry humour, A Woman Like Me is an inspirational account that celebrates how one woman succeeded against massive odds and built an extraordinary legacy.

An eye-opening account on what we get wrong about sex and gender and a “formidable challenge to our politics, on both the right and the left…informed by science, law, and personal experience” (Guy-Uriel Charles, Harvard Law School professor)—and how we can be a thoughtful, sex-smart society.On Sex and Gender focuses on three sequential and consequential questions: What is sex as opposed to gender? How does sex matter in our everyday lives? And how should it be reflected in law and policy? All three have been front-and-center in American life and politics since the rise of the trans right movement: They are included in both major parties’ political platforms. They are the subject of ongoing litigation in the federal courts and of highly contentious legislation on Capitol Hill. And they are a pivotal issue in the culture wars between left and right playing out around the dinner tables, on campuses and school boards, on op-ed pages, and in corporate handbooks. Doriane Coleman challenges both sides to chart a better way. In a book that is equal parts scientific explanation, historical examination, and personal reflection, she argues that denying biological sex and focusing only on gender would have detrimental effects on women’s equal opportunity, on men’s future prospects, and on the health and welfare of society. Structural sexism needed to be dismantled—a true achievement of feminism and an ongoing fight—but going forward we should be sex smart, not sex blind. This “seminal book—the science, the law, the politics all explained so clearly” (Edwin Moses, two-time Olympic gold medalist) is a clear guide for reasonable Americans on sex and gender—something everyone wants to understand but is terrified to discuss. Coleman shows that the science is settled, but equally there is a middle ground where common sense reigns and we can support transgender people without denying the facts of human biology. She livens her narrative with a sequence of portraits of exceptional human beings from legal pioneers like Myra Bradwell and Ketanji Brown Jackson to champion athletes like Caster Semenya and Cate Campbell to civil rights giants like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Pauli Murray. Above all, Coleman reminds us that sex not only exists, but is also good—and she shows how we can get both sex and gender right for society.

This book offers new perspectives on gender-based violence in three regions where the subject has been taboo in everyday discourse often due to patriarchal cultural norms that limit womenâ ™s autonomy. The contributions to this book provide rare insight into not only the levels and the socio-demographic determinants of domestic violence, but topics ranging from menâ ™s attitudes toward wife beating; domestic violence-related adolescent deaths, and womenâ ™s health problems due to sexual and physical abuse. With a comprehensive introduction that provides a comparative international research framework for discussing gender-based violence in these three unique regions, this volume provides a key basis for understanding gender-based violence on a more global level. Part I, on Africa, covers menâ ™s attitudes towards domestic violence, the impact of poverty and fertility, the association between adolescent deaths and domestic violence, and the link between domestic abuse and HIV. Part II, on the Middle East, covers the importance of consanguinity on domestic violence in Egypt and Jordan, the effects of physical abuse on reproductive health, and the link between political unrests and womenâ ™s experience and attitudes towards domestic violence. Part III, on India, shows how sexual abuse puts women at risk of reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted infections, as well as the role of gender norms in wife abuse and the role of youth aggressive behavior in nonconsensual sex. With such a deep and broad coverage of factors of intimate partner abuse, this book serves as a reference document for researchers, decision-makers, and organizations that are searching for ways to reduce gender-based domestic violence. This book is of interest for researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, as well as Sociology, Social Work, Public Health and Human Rights.

A new collection of photographs by Diane Arbus illuminates her singular ability to enter private worlds. Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum brings together forty-four photographs made in private places across New York, New Jersey, California, and London between 1961 and 1971. Through her singular combination of intelligence, charisma, intuition, and courage, Diane Arbus (1923–1971) was frequently invited into personal realms seldom seen by strangers. Though made in intimate settings, the photographs collected in this volume convey no sense of intrusion or trespass—instead, they reveal an unspoken exchange between photographer and subject, a moment of recognition in which confidences emerge freely and without judgment. Arbus’s desire to know people embraced a vast spectrum of humanity. Her subjects featured in Sanctum Sanctorum include debutantes, nudists, celebrities, aspiring celebrities, socialites, transvestites, babies, widows, circus performers, lovers, female impersonators, and a blind couple in their bedroom. Through a fresh consideration of little-known photographs among works that may be more familiar, this publication invites viewers to discover aspects of even well-known images that have previously gone unnoticed. Published on the occasion of the exhibitions presented jointly by David Zwirner, London, and Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, Sanctum Sanctorum is an invaluable addition to the understanding of one of the most daring and transformative photographers of the twentieth century.

Technology has advanced significantly over the past 200 years, but have ideas about gender and technology also changed over time? Are modern technologies gendered?In this comprehensive text, Holly Kruse explores how notions of gender and technology have been socially constructed. Organized historically, the book provides a broad overview of global developments in technology and how these technologies have been (ideologically) gendered. Focusing on communication and media technologies and analysing an array of household and workplace devices, the text examines the ways in which they have been considered feminine or masculine . These associations, as the text reveals, often have little to do with the complexity of the technology. Rich with historical and contemporary examples â “ from bicycles and washing machines to the telegraph and the computer - Gender and Technology encourages us to take a closer look at how and why modern technologies are gendered. By understanding the origins of our ideas about gender and technology, we can see how they have and have not changed over time. This text is essential reading for undergraduates taking courses on gender and technology, and will be of interest to general readers who want to learn more about the historical relationship between gender and technology.

Michelle Zauner bylo krásných pětadvacet let, žila ve Filadelfii, pracovala jako číšnice a snažila se rozjet kariéru v hudební branži, když se dozvěděla, že její matka onemocněla. Všeho nechala a odletěla domů do Eugune v Oregonu, aby s ní strávila poslední bolestné měsíce boje s rakovinou. Pohlcující upřímný příběh vypráví o Michellině dozrávání: jak se distancovala od korejské identity, aby se k ní následně s pokorou vrátila, a jak si hledala vlastní cestu, díky níž by se s hlubokou ztrátou vyrovnala. S humorem a srdečností popisuje, jak vyrůstala jako dívka asijsko-amerického původu pod tíhou očekávání své matky, až se raději odstěhovala na druhý konec země. Sdílí milé vzpomínky na prázdniny, které jako dítě trávila v babiččině bytě v Soulu, a líčí, jak se jako dospělá učila vařit korejské pokrmy, jež zmíněné vzpomínky oživují. Však si také co týden užívá návštěvy oblíbeného asijského obchodního řetězce, který jí svým způsobem poskytuje konejšivou náruč. Michelle Zauner píše velmi živě a přímočaře, lyricky a otevřeně, takže na stránkách této knihy působí stejně výrazně jako na jevišti.

Třicet let po jeho řádění se Michelle McNamarová vydala po zdánlivě vychladlých stopách a začala pátrat po sériovém vrahovi žijícím v domnění, že už spravedlnosti unikl. Zapálené, trpělivé a pečlivé investigativní novinářce se ve spolupráci s policií podařilo nashromáždit a interpretovat řadu drobných, nicméně podstatných vodítek. Právě ona také dala pachateli přezdívku, pod níž ho americká veřejnost zná. Jenže nic není zadarmo: pod povrchem bublaly problémy a cílevědomá autorka je byla nucena řešit řadou léků. Skutečný příběh mapuje nejen osud brutálního predátora, který toužil navždy zmizet ve tmě, ale i život neohrožené pátračky, jíž se reportérská posedlost stala osudnou… Stejnojmenný dokumentární seriál z roku 2020, volně natočený podle tohoto bestselleru, vznikl v produkci HBO. „Mistrná kniha o skutečném zločinu, kterou si užije každý čtenář zajímající se o hlubiny lidské povahy, o zločin, hádanky a investigativní dramata.“ – Kirkus Review. „Zmizím ve tmě představuje zásadní dílo v oblasti mapování reálného zločinu. Bez uzardění můžeme použít přívlastky ‚fascinující‘ i ‚děsivé‘. Většina z nás asi nikdy nepochopí, jak někdo může být takto krutý a bezcitný. I přesto bychom si měli o těchto hrůzách číst a poučit se z nich, důrazněji dbát na bezpečí své i svých bližních. Ale především se musíme postarat o to, aby podobní zločinci nikdy neunikli svému trestu.“ – Lukbook. „Fascinující a děsivá kniha, kterou přečtete na jedno posezení. Tak moc strhující čtení to je. Michelle McNamara famózně oživila případ Zabijáka z Golden State a nemalou měrou přispěla k jeho vyřešení. “ – Michael Connelly. „Čtenáři by měli vědět, že tato kniha je výjimečná tím, že se zabývá dvěma posedlostmi, jednou světlou a druhou temnou. Zabiják z Golden State je tou temnou polovinou, Michelle McNamara je tou světlou. Je to cesta do dvou myslí, jedné nemocné a narušené, druhé inteligentní a odhodlané.“ – Stephen King.

Michelle Obamová se díky svému životu naplněnému smyslem a úspěchy stala jednou z nejikoničtějších a nejpodmanivějších žen naší éry. Jako první dáma Spojených států amerických a první Afroameričanka v této roli pomohla nastolit nejvlídnější a nejpřístupnější atmosféru v Bílém domě v historii a vybudovala si pozici silné zastánkyně práv žen ve Spojených státech i po celém světě. Radikálně změnila životní styl mnoha rodin, které díky ní vedou zdravější a aktivnější život, naučila nás několik tanečních kroků, zabodovala v Carpool Karaoke Jamese Cordena a v nemilosrdné záři reflektorů dokázala vychovat dvě normální a skromné dcery. Michelle Obamová ve svých pamětech, díle plném hlubokých úvah a úchvatného vypravěčství, zve čtenáře do svého světa a zaznamenává zážitky, které ji formovaly – od dětství v chicagské South Side, přes léta, kdy jako vedoucí pracovnice vyvažovala mateřské a pracovní povinnosti, až po dobu, kterou strávila na nejslavnější světové adrese. S neomylnou upřímností a jiskřivým vtipem popisuje svá vítězství i zklamání na veřejnosti i v soukromí a vypráví svůj příběh, tak jak ho žila – svými slovy a podle svého. Můj příběh je kniha nejen vřelá, moudrá a sdělná, je to také neobvykle důvěrné sdělení ženy, která oplývá silnou duší, inteligencí a přirozenou moudrostí, ženy, která se vždy vzpírala všem očekáváním a jejíž příběh nás inspiruje ke stejnému postoji. Michelle Obamová ke své knize říká: „Když jsem psala Můj příběh, byl to pro mě hluboký osobní zážitek. Úplně poprvé jsem měla prostor se otevřeně zamyslet nad svojí neočekávanou životní dráhou. V této knize hovořím o svých kořenech, o tom, jak malé děvče z chicagské South Side nalezlo ve svém hlase sílu a dokázalo tuto sílu předat jiným. Doufám, že moje osobní cesta bude čtenáře inspirovat k tomu, aby v sobě nalezli odvahu a stali se tím, kým touží být. Nemůžu se dočkat, až se s nimi o svůj příběh podělím.”

In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the east coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, performing gigs with her fledgling band - and meeting the man who would become her husband - her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother s diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.Vivacious, lyrical and honest, Michelle Zauner s voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.
