Gloria Steinem Knihy

Explains how women can achieve a greater sense of self-worth by learning to understand the unconscious powerful forces that exist within them.

An updated, third edition of the renowned feminist’s most diverse and timeless collection of essays, with a new foreword by Emma Watson. Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions has sold over half a million copies since its original publication in 1983, acclaimed for its witty, warm, and life-changing view of the world, "as if women mattered." Steinem's truly personal writing is here, from the now-famous exposé, "I Was a Playboy Bunny," to the moving tribute to her mother "Ruth's Song (Because She Could Not Sing It)". Her prescient essays on female genital mutilation and the difference between erotica and pornography that are still referenced and relevant today, and the hilarious satire, "If Men Could Menstruate” resonates as much as ever. As Watson writes of Steinem in her foreword, “She makes what otherwise can be arduous and depressing reading into something not only relatable, but also enjoyable... Her plain common sense, calling things out as they are, will make you laugh out loud. This is her superpower.”

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

Co by řekla vaše vagina, kdyby uměla mluvit? Provokativní text, který odhaluje ženský klín a nedbá na dodnes přetrvávající tabu kolem nejintimnějších témat. Autentické výpovědi žen o tom, jak vnímají vlastní tělo, lépe řečeno „místo tam dole“, považované dlouho za něco zakázaného, nečistého, ukrývaného i před nimi samými. Žen, které odbourávají snad poslední existující tabu. Zasazují se o otevřený a svobodný přístup k ženské sexualitě a chtějí, aby jejich těla byla přijímána se vším všudy. Dojemná i drsná exkurze do posledních neprobádaných míst, do v mnoha ohledech zakázané zóny. Oslava ženské sexuality ve vší její složitosti a tajemnosti. Nové vydání kultovní knihy! Pro nové generace žen! Pro generaci nových mužů! Původní název: The Vagina Mologues: 20th Anniversary Edition
