Gloria Steinem Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

"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

Vagina Monology, tato dojemná a rozpustilá exkurze do poslední neprobádané oblasti, do poslední zakázané zóny je oslavou ženské sexuality ve vší své složitosti a tajemnosti. Byla uvítána jako bible pro novou generaci žen. Tato kniha a stejnojmenná divadelní hra, inspirovaly dynamické hnutí - Den-V - jehož cílem je skoncovat s násilím proti ženám. Toto vtipné a neuctivé, soucitné a moudré dílo, oceněné cenou Obie, vyjadřuje ty nejhlubší ženské fantazie a obavy a zaručuje, že se po jejím přečtení nikdo nebude dívat na ženské tělo ani na sex stejně jako předtím.

Gloria Steinem explores the concept of self-authority in the face of societal injustice, aiming to empower individuals to reclaim their inner strength. Recognized as a profound self-help guide, the book delves into the personal and collective struggles against oppression, encouraging readers to recognize and overcome the barriers that diminish their sense of self.

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.

The Berlin Wall has fallen, the Iron Curtain is sundered; in a geopolitical instant Marxism is erased from the blackboard of history with little pain and minor cost. A delusion of course, as Drakulic, a leading Yugoslavian writer from Croatia, proves in this brilliant work of reportage filtered through personal experience.

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.

Mýty jsou úžasné příběhy a jsou ještě zajímavější, když si uvědomíme, že nám mohou sdělit intimní pravdy o nás i ostatních. Jean Shinoda Bolenová oživuje řecký panteon v našich vnitřních archetypech a aplikuje sílu mýtů na naše osobní životy. Když porozumíme přirozenému postupu od mýtu k archetypu a osobní psychice, a uvědomíme si, že pozitivní dary i negativní tendence jsou rysy jednotlivých bohyní, které v nás sídlí, získáme výjimečný vhled do svého nitra. Některé ženy se více věnují profesnímu životu a úspěchu a jiné cítí naplnění svého poslání jako manželky a matky podle toho, která bohyně je nejvíce ovládá. Bolenová učí ženy, jak by se měly rozhodnout, které rysy bohyní rozvíjet, a které potlačovat, a také, jak využít síly archetypů, aby byly ve svém životě tou správnou hrdinkou.

A bestselling first collection of humorous and insightful essays by a luminary of the women's liberation movement These essays from Gloria Steinem's first three decades of work offer a portrait of a woman who was not only one of the savviest leaders of the women's liberation movement, but also a profoundly humane thinker with a wide-ranging intellect and irresistible wit. In "If Men Could Menstruate," Steinem engages readers in a flight of imagination as incisive as it is hilarious. She offers first-person journalism in her underground expos"e" "I Was a Playboy Bunny," provides heartbreaking memoir in the story of her mother's struggles in "Ruth's Song," and stakes important positions in feminist theory in "Erotica vs. Pornography." This is Steinem at her most provocative--and most compassionate.
