Feminism: a graphic guide (1785784900)

Kniha - 192 stran, anglicky, Brožovaná bez přebalu matná - autor Cathia Jenainati, 192 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná What is feminism? Why are we still talking about it, and what can it tell us about ourselves, our societies and prejudices? In this unique, illustrated introduction, we’ll explore the early history of conscious struggle against sexist oppression, through the modern “waves” of feminism, up to present-day conversations about MeToo, intersectional feminism, and women’s rights in the Middle East. We’ll look at critical theory, popular action and the social and cultural forces that affect attitudes toward gender, women’s lives and the struggle for equality. And we’ll hear about the contributions of pioneers like Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir and Kimberlé Crenshaw. As we’ll see, feminism is at once global, local and individual. Written by Cathia Jenainati with illustrations from Judy Groves and Jem Milton, Feminism: A Graphic... (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor Simone de Beauvoir, 144 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short formWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY NATALIE HAYNESWhen this book was first published in 1949 it was to outrage and scandal. Never before had the case for female liberty been so forcefully and successfully argued. De Beauvoir's belief that 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman' switched on light bulbs in the heads of a generation of women and began a fight for greater equality and economic independence. These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever. (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor Naomi Wolf, 128 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In the struggle for women's equality, there is one subject still shrouded in silence - women's compulsive pursuit of beauty. The myth of female beauty challenges every woman, every day of her life. Naomi Wolf exposes the tyranny of the beauty myth through the ages and its oppressive function today, in the home and at work, in literature and the media, in relationships between men and women, between women and women. With pertinent and intelligent examples, she confronts the beauty industry and its advertising and uncovers the reasons why women are consumed by this destructive obsession. (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor Mikki Kendall, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues. White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? Insightful, incendiary and ultimately hopeful, Hood Feminism is both an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux and also clear-eyed assessment of how to save it. (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor Helen Lewis, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Well-behaved women don't make history: difficult women do. Feminism's success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women, who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Helen Lewis argues that too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines. It's time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women. In this book, you'll meet the working-class suffragettes who advocated bombings and arson; the princess who discovered why so many women were having bad sex; the pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men's rights activist; the 'striker in a sari' who terrified Margaret Thatcher; the wronged Victorian wife who definitely wasn't sleeping with the prime minister; and the lesbian politician who outraged the country. Taking the story up to the present with the... (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor Mikki Kendall, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?... (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor Mariam Khan, 272 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In 2016, Mariam Khan read that David Cameron had linked the radicalization of Muslim men to the "traditional submissiveness" of Muslim women. Mariam felt pretty sure she didn't know a single Muslim woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were neither Muslim, nor female? Years later the state of the discourse has deteriorated even further, and Muslim women's voices are still pushed to the fringes—the figures leading the discussion are white and male. Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, It's Not About the Burqa is poised to change all that. Here are voices you won't see represented in the news headlines: 17 Muslim women speaking frankly about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about feminism, queer identity, sex, and the twin threats of a...

Věděli jste, že se dobrých 60 % nejdůležitějších uměleckých děl na světě nachází v Itálii a necelá polovina z těch italských ve Florencii? Je to neuvěřitelné, ale měla by to být pravda. Odhady vycházejí ze statistických údajů UNESCO a jeho zaměstnanci by o tom měli mít přesné informace. Gurmánské speciality a víno Florencie a Toskánsko by se rozhodně měly líbit každému milovníkovi umění. V tomto regionu se nacházejí jedinečné destinace jako Arezzo, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Pienza, Montepulciano, Volterra a také Livorno. Vytouženým cílem mnoha evropských turistů se však Toskánsko nestalo jen díky umění. Jen málokterý region na světě se může pochlubit tak bohatou nabídkou pro gur mány. Seznam potravinářských specialit je dlouhý. V toskánské kuchyni přirozeně hrají hlavní roli chléb a těstoviny, kromě toho se zde též podávají chutná jídla založená na místních surovinách jako lanýže, slanina a kaštany. Další podrobnosti k tomuto tématu najdete na straně 36. Zmiňujeme-li se o potravinářských produktech, v tomto výčtu nesmí chybět víno. Mezi pobřežím a oblastí Chianti stále více vinařů dodržuje zásady biologického zemědělství a díky tomu se zde rodí výborná vína. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Pro mě osobně je Sardinie nejatraktivnějším středomořským ostrovem. Ptáte se proč? Kvůli nádherné krajině a vydařenému spojení moře a hor. Jistě, ale někdo může namítnout, že to mají i jiné ostrovní destinace. Snad tedy kvůli poklidným vesnicím nebo nejexkluzivnějšímu pobřeží v Evropě s názvem Costa Smeralda? Nikoli. Sardinie mě fascinuje díky jedinečným plážím nabízejícím klidné zátoky, tu s úžasně jemným pískem, jinde se světlými oblázky či kamínky a křišťálově čistým mořem. Vskutku, nic nádhernějšího v Evropě nenajdete. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Do Skotska se jezdí kvůli nádherné přírodě, ale také kvůli samotě. Když si vzpomenu na Skotsko, vidím před sebou rozlehlá, takřka nedotčená údolí na Skotské vysočině, sním o tajuplných jezerech a idylických říčních údolích, představuji si liduprázdné pláže a impozantní pobřežní útesy, které se halí do neuvěřitelně krásného náladového světla. Th eodor Fontane došel na své cestě po Skotsku v roce 1858 k názoru: „Byla to jedna z nejkrásnějších cest v mém životě... Nikdy dříve jsem neprocházel opuštěnější krajinou!“ (knihydobrovsky.cz)
