Feminismus

Vier Freundinnen. Vier Leichen. Ein großes Problem.Wie werde ich meinen toten Mann los?Diese Frage stellt sich Sally, als sie mit der blutbeschmierten, gusseisernen Pfanne vor der Leiche ihres Ehemanns steht. Ihn zu erschlagen, hatte sie nicht geplant. Eigentlich sollte sie jetzt die Polizei rufen. Eigentlich. Doch stattdessen genehmigt sie sich erst einmal ein schönes Stück Kuchen und lässt sich ein Schaumbad ein. Wenig Grund zur Trauer haben auch Ruth, Samira und Janey, die ebenfalls ihre tyrannischen Ehemänner entsorgen müssen. Dieses ungewöhnliche Problem schweißt zusammen: Die vier Frauen gründen eine Selbsthilfegruppe der besonderen Art - den Club der heimlichen Witwen. Und entwickeln ungeahnte Kreativität ...'Der Club der heimlichen Witwen' nimmt seine Arbeit auf - der unerhörteste Krimi des Jahres!'Sie haben es verstanden, ja?

Jedenfalls eine Art Unfall. Ein Jim-Unfall. Zumindest wird Ihnen klar sein, dass ich es nicht gewollt hatte. Nicht geplant hatte. Ich dachte nicht einmal nach, meine Hand bewegte sich ... von selbst. Mehr oder weniger. Und überhaupt darf man niemanden dafür kritisieren, dass er sich verteidigt. Das ist nicht nur legal, sondern absolut korrekt und angemessen. Moralisch picobello. Ich schaue zur Bratpfanne. Vom Rand fällt noch ein Blutstropfen.'Ein unwiderstehliches Buch über die Macht der Freundschaft, mit viel schwarzem Humorund einer wichtigen MessageDas perfekte Geschenk für die beste Freundin, Schwester, Mutter und jede Frau!

Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition, first published in 1958, considers the importance of worldy existence. She states: "with word and deed we insert ourselves into the human world."2 She then warns that, "A life without speech and without action...is literally dead to the world; it has ceased to be a human life because it is no longer lived among men."3 Speaking and acting allow us to appear before others and facilitate our life in a world made and inhabited by others who speak and act as well. Therefore, following Arendt, we might say that, to deny someone the ability to appear would be to deny his or her life among others.

A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Memoir of the Season<BR><BR>The work of a lifetime from the Tony Award-winning, bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues-political, personal, profound, and more than forty years in the making.<BR><BR>The newest book from V (formerly Eve Ensler), Reckoning invites you to travel the journey of a writer's and activist's life and process over forty years, representing both the core of ideas that have become global movements and the methods through which V survived abuse and self-hatred. Seamlessly moving from the internal to the external, the personal to the political, Reckoning is a moving and inspiring work of prose, poetry, dreams, letters, and essays drawn from V's lifetime journals that takes readers from Berlin to Oklahoma to Congo, from climate disaster, homelessness, and activism to family.<BR><BR>Unflinching, intimate, introspective, courageous, Reckoning explores ways to create an unstoppable force for change, to love and survive love, to hold people and states accountable, to reckon with demons and honor the dead, to reclaim the body, and to see oneself as connected to a greater purpose. It reimagines what seems fixed and intractable, providing a path to understand one's unique experience as deeply rooted in the world, to break through one's own boundaries, and to write oneself into freedom.

Die Studie ist innerhalb der Literaturdidaktik im Schnittbereich von Lese-, Biographie- und Bildungsforschung angesiedelt und befasst sich mit der Entwicklung individueller Werthaltungen gegenüber dem Lesen.Die Dynamik von lesebezogenen Deutungsmustern wird anhand eines echten Längsschnittes vom Beginn des Leistungskurses Deutsch bis zum Studienanfang rekonstruiert. Hierzu werden narrative Interviews mit acht Informant*innen mittels der sozialwissenschaftlichen Hermeneutik analysiert und kontrastiert.Ersichtlich wird die Veränderbarkeit von Deutungsmustern in einer prägenden biographischen Übergangsphase sowie die zunehmende Trennung von privaten und institutionellen Lesewerthaltungen. Zudem scheint die Schule keinen dauerhaft prägenden Einfluss auf lesebezogene Werthaltungen zu haben.

A witty, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greek and Roman myths and their legacy, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé.<BR><BR>The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways -- glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Many of today's harmful practices, like school dress codes, exploitation of the environment, and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world.<BR><BR>But in Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they are told -- and read -- in different ways. Through these stories, whether it's Antigone's courageous stand against tyranny or the indestructible Caeneus, who inspires trans and gender queer people today, Morales uncovers hidden truths about solidarity, empowerment, and catharsis.<BR><BR>Antigone Rising offers a fresh understanding of the stories we take for granted, showing how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo, spark resistance, and rail against unjust regimes.

This new work sets six important texts (two full texts and four novel extracts) in the context of Rosa Mulholland's writing career, and the cultural context of the time. Mullholland's writing reflects a creative tension between issues of class, gender, religion, land politics, the presentation of the Irish peasantry, Irishness and Victorianism.Rosa Mulholland was an important figure in late nineteenth-century Irish fiction writing. She was the author of dozens of novels, short stories and critical pieces.She came from a Catholic, upper middle class family, married a prominent historian and through her sister was related to the Russell family. Their most prominent members were Matthew Russell JS, editor of the Irish Monthly, and Lord Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England.The book is organised in such a way as to give a representative selection of Mulholland's writings in terms of genre (short story, novel extract, essay), theme (famine; middle-class women's aspirations; religion; feminism and the land war; women and ethical decision making; gender and economics; publishing and patriotism) and chronology (1864 to 1908).Interest in Mulholland has been greatly aided by the recovery in feminist literary criticism. She is now regarded as an important figure and this work provides an introductory access to her work to students and scholars.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird untersucht, wie feministische Autorinnen sich des Mythos bedienen, um Subversion gegen patriarchalische Gesellschaftssysteme zu üben. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, werden die spezifischen literarischen Strategien in den Romanen jeweils zweier frankophoner afrikanischer und deutschsprachiger europäischer Autorinnen, Ken Buguls "De l¿autre côté du regard" (2003), Calixthe Beyalas "C¿est le soleil qui m¿a brûlée" (1987), Ingeborg Bachmanns "Das Buch Franza" (1979) und Elfriede Jelineks "Die Klavierspielerin" (1983), in vergleichender Perspektive analysiert. Diese Analyse geht von der ambivalenten Schilderung der Frau in der Mythologie aus und befasst sich mit der Frage nach der Stellung, der Bedeutung und der Rolle des Mythos in der Literatur und in der Tradierung von Konstrukten wie Gender und von Machtverhältnissen innerhalb der Gesellschaft.

Una Isabel Allende más Allende que nunca. Un regalo para todos sus lectores, una lección de vida y coraje. Cada año vivido y cada arruga cuentan mi historia. Isabel Allende bucea en su memoria y nos ofrece un emocionante libro sobre su relación con el feminismo y el hecho de ser mujer, al tiempo que reivindica que la vida adulta hay que vivirla, sentirla y gozarla con plena intensidad. En Mujeres del alma mía la gran autora chilena nos invita a acompañarla en este viaje personal y emocional donde repasa su vinculación con el feminismo desde la infancia hasta hoy. Recuerda a algunas mujeres imprescindibles en su vida, como sus añoradas Panchita, Paula o la agente Carmen Balcells; a escritoras relevantes como Virginia Woolf o Margaret Atwood; a jóvenes artistas que aglutinan la rebeldía de su generación o, entre otras muchas, a esas mujeres anónimas que han sufrido la violencia y que llenas de dignidad y coraje se levantan y avanzan... Ellas son las que tanto le inspiran y tanto le han acompañado a lo largo de su vida: sus mujeres del alma. Finalmente, reflexiona también sobre el movimiento #MeToo -que apoya y celebra-, sobre las recientes revueltas sociales en su país de origen y, cómo no, sobre la nueva situación que globalmente estamos viviendo con la pandemia. Todo ello sin perder esa inconfundible pasión por la vida y por insistir en que, más allá de la edad, siempre hay tiempo para el amor.

'Fallen Among Reformers' focuses on Stella Miles Franklin's New Woman protest literature written during her time in Chicago with the National Women's Trade Union League (1906-1915). This time away from literary pursuits enriched Franklin's literary productivity and provided a feminist social justice ethics, which shaped her writing.Close readings of Franklin's (mostly unpublished) short stories, plays, and novels contextualises them in the personal politics of her everyday life and historicises them in the socio-economic and literary realities of early twentieth-century Australia and United States: themes embedded in broader cultural patterns of socialism, pacifism, and feminism.

This book explores companionship in travel writing in pre-modern and modern times. It features women as travellers from all parts of the world, with varied travel patterns and behaviours. It documents their stories against the backdrop of companionship, or the absence of it. The book reveals that from antiquity onwards traveling together has alw

Promiscuity in Western Literature capitalises on the fact that literature gives us deep and varied resources for reflecting on this controversial aspect of human behaviour. Drawing on authors from Homer to Margaret Atwood, it shows how the idea of promiscuity has been a source of anxiety and fantasy, and a means of control.

Ariana E. Vigil's interdisciplinary study, Public Negotiations: Gender and Journalism in Contemporary US Latina/o Literature examines how the boundaries of the Latina/o public sphere are negotiated through mass media. : Focusing on a wide range of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Latina/o literary texts that feature Latina/o media figures-works by Lucha Corpi, Oscar Zeta Acosta, Cherríe Moraga, and Rubén Salazar, among others-Vigil examines the relationship between Latina/o media and Latina/o publics and reflects on how literature demonstrates a sustained interest in this relationship. Vigil also reveals how these conversations inevitably engage with gender concerns, showing how the role of gender in this relationship is neither static nor consistent over time. Examining how these works represent such things as gendered Latina/o counter publics, how Central American-American communities are gendered in relation to other US Latina/o communities, how and why gendered expressions of Latinidad are produced and marketed, and how print media provides an important space for dissemination of diverse ideas, Public Negotiations considers the way in which gender functions in terms of both the construction and reception of a Latina/o public in a transnational space. Through thorough examination and with deep insight, Vigil shows how literature can invaluably reflect current and historical issues surrounding media and the public sphere and help us imagine new, hopefully better, possibilities.
