Book Description
Edición revisada, actualizada y ampliada del libro de referencia, en España, de la historia del feminismo. ¿Quiénes eran las sufragistas? ¿De dónde sale el feminismo radical? ¿Por qué se habla de marxismo y feminismo como de un matrimonio mal avenido? ¿Por qué el feminismo ha sido vilipendiado y ridiculizado? ¿Por qué las feministas han sido tratadas de «marimachos», feas o mujeres sexualmente insatisfechas? ¿Cómo y dónde surge la expresión «violencia de género»? ¿En qué consiste la masculinidad tradicional? A partir de estos interrogantes, y otros muchos, Nuria Varela repasa tres siglos de hacer y deshacer el mundo, de alumbrar teorías, propuestas y liderazgos fascinantes, y narra la aventura de una agitación social que ningún otro movimiento ha conseguido mantener durante tanto tiempo.

In Defense of Witches
Author: Mona Chollet
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 125027222X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution. Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed? Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions. With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.

Feminismo para principiantes se ha convertido en el libro de cabecera de varias generaciones feministas. En esta edición Nuria Varela une su talento al de la ilustradora Antonia Santolaya para ofrecernos la versión cómic de este libro imprescindible. «El feminismo es la linterna que revela las sombras de todas las grandes ideas gestadas y desarrolladas sin las mujeres y, en ocasiones, a costa de ellas [...] Las feministas empuñamos esa linterna con orgullo por ser la herencia de millones de mujeres que, partiendo de la sumisión forzada y mientras eran atacadas, ridiculizadas y vilipendiadas, supieron construir una cultura, una ética y una ideología nuevas y revolucionarias para enriquecer y democratizar el mundo. La llevamos con orgullo porque su luz es la justicia que ilumina las habitaciones oscurecidas por la intolerancia, los prejuicios, los abusos. La llevamos con orgullo porque su luz nos da la libertad y la dignidad quehace ya demasiado tiempo nos robaron en detrimento de un mundo que sin nosotrasno puede considerarse humano.» Nuria Varela

You Never Forget Your First

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AN NPR CONCIERGE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “In her form-shattering and myth-crushing book….Coe examines myths with mirth, and writes history with humor… [You Never Forget Your First] is an accessible look at a president who always finishes in the first ranks of our leaders.” —Boston Globe Alexis Coe takes a closer look at our first--and finds he is not quite the man we remember Young George Washington was raised by a struggling single mother, demanded military promotions, caused an international incident, and never backed down--even when his dysentery got so bad he had to ride with a cushion on his saddle. But after he married Martha, everything changed. Washington became the kind of man who named his dog Sweetlips and hated to leave home. He took up arms against the British only when there was no other way, though he lost more battles than he won. After an unlikely victory in the Revolutionary War cast him as the nation's hero, he was desperate to retire, but the founders pressured him into the presidency--twice. When he retired years later, no one talked him out of it. He left the highest office heartbroken over the partisan nightmare his backstabbing cabinet had created. Back on his plantation, the man who fought for liberty must confront his greatest hypocrisy--what to do with the men, women, and children he owns--before he succumbs to death. With irresistible style and warm humor, You Never Forget Your First combines rigorous research and lively storytelling that will have readers--including those who thought presidential biographies were just for dads--inhaling every page.

Cansadas
Author: Nuria Varela
Publisher: EDICIONES B
ISBN: 849069625X
Category : Social Science
Languages : es
Pages : 158
Book Description
Cansadas es una mirada feminista que contempla recuerdos, reflexiones, repotajes, artículos, notas de viaje y conversaciones a lo largo de una década. Cansadas es el sugerente título del nuevo libro de la autora de Ibamos a ser reinas y Feminismo para principiantes (publicados por Ediciones B). En él, la autora evidencia las nuevas y sutiles formas del patriarcado para seguir discriminando a las mujeres bajo el velo de la igualdad, nuevas formas de sexismo y de misoginia, más encubiertas pero igual de machistas. «A estas alturas, resulta casi imposible cambiar actitudes y valores en un cuerpo agotado por la doble y triple jornada, por las microviolencias y micromachismos diarios, -en el trabajo y en las relaciones personales-, por la exigencia del mito de la belleza y la eterna juventud, la medicalización excesiva del cuerpo y la patologización de todos los procesos naturales de nuestros cuerpos. Invisibles. Nos hemos hecho mayores y no nos gusta lo que vemos. Es tiempo de nuestra propia reacción .» Nuria Varela

The Art of Flying
Author: Antonio Altarriba
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1448190851
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
When published in 2009, The Art of Flying was hailed as a landmark in the history of the graphic novel in Spain for its deeply touching synthesis of individual and collective memories. A deeply personal testament, Altarriba’s account of what led his father to commit suicide at the age of ninety is a detective novel of sorts, one that traces his father’s life from an impoverished childhood in Aragon, to service with Franco’s army in the Civil war, escape to join the anarchist FAI, exile in France when the Republicans are defeated, to return to Spain in 1949 and the stultifying existence to which Republican sympathisers were consigned under Francoism. The Art of Flying is immensely moving and vivid, beautifully drawn by Kim. It was highly praised in Spain on first publication, where it was compared to Art Spiegelman’s Maus. It went on to win six major prizes, including the 2010 National Comic Prize.

CLIL in Action
Author: David Marsh
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781443875578
Category : Education, Bilingual
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This volume explores the current position of CLIL on the three main fronts where it is attracting particular attention in specialized literature, namely, implementation, research, and teacher training. To this end, it presents evidence from national and international research projects, governmentally-financed pedagogical initiatives, grassroots experiences and investigations, and inter-institutional training programs which offer insights into how CLIL is working in action on the afore-mentioned three levels. The opening section of the book (â oeCLIL in action: Practical considerationsâ ) provides a window into how CLIL implementation is unravelling at the grassroots level vis-à-vis key aspects for CLIL development, such as the design of materials, the use of ICT, and the importance of extramural exposure. The second part (â oeThe effects of CLIL on language learning: Research-based evidenceâ ) explores some key areas for future research, showcasing how engaging in research as a device that drives reflection is the best possible way to continue moving the CLIL agenda forward. Finally, in the third part (â oePreparing teachers for CLIL: Practical proposalsâ ), the interface of research and pedagogy is discussed, as the former informs the latter in a clear instantiation of what Coyle (2011) terms â oeevidence-based practiceâ in setting necessary teacher training actions in place. As such, the volume addresses three burning issues in the CLIL scenario through practical and research-based proposals of tried-and-true CLIL development. If all three strands â " implementation, research, and training â " dovetail and progress in harmony, a solid template will be built for the future and the CLIL agenda will be pushed forward. By pooling together the insights of a set of researchers, teacher trainers, policy makers, and grassroots practitioners, this volume will contribute to this much-needed endeavour.
