In a series of personal and devastating essays, Before They Were Men argues that we must rewire our entire framework of feminism.

Four months postpartum with her second child, Catherine Simone Gray is back at her doctor’s office, surveying a childbirth wound that refuses to mend. Proud flesh: tissue that overheals to become its own wound. Pregnancy and motherhood had been physically vulnerable for Gray, but this renders her most intimate parts unrecognizable, like her body is no longer her own. Has it ever been her own? As she gets to know her body in its new form, she encounters, too, the girl she’d been at seventeen.

What Pornography Knows offers a new history of pornography based on forgotten bawdy fiction of the eighteenth century, its nineteenth-century republication, and its appearance in 1960s paperbacks. Through close textual study, Lubey shows how these texts were edited across time to become what we think pornography is a genre focused primarily on sex. Originally, they were far more variable, joining speculative philosophy and feminist theory to sexual description.

En las violencias de género no son las mujeres las que tienen un problema que resolver, ni la responsabilidad de educarnos. No están en ellas las respuestas sobre los machismos, sus orígenes y efectos, sino en quienes se quieren deconstruir para dar paso a nuevas masculinidades.

All but 0.0182% of the human race is unequivocally male or female. Yet that distinction is irrelevant in determining who we are attracted to, our public persona or what we can achieve. The last few decades have seen a welcome increase in tolerance, close to the liberal ideal of ‘do what you want as long as you do no harm’. Then came Gender Ideology. It states that how one feels is critical, not the hand nature has dealt. We have each been given an impeccable sense of self, but possibly the wrong body parts.

On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees.

All over the world, Black and racialized women engage in the solidarity economy through what is known as mutual aid financing. Formally referred to as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), these institutions are purposefully informal to support the women’s livelihoods and social needs, and they act to reject tiered forms of neo-liberal development. The Banker Ladies–a term coined by women in the Black diaspora–are individuals that voluntarily organize ROSCAs for self-sufficiency and are intentional in their politicized economic co-operation to counter business exclusion.

We live in a new age of beauty. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, walk-in treatments, augmented reality face filters, photo editing apps, and exposure to more images than ever, we have the ability to craft the image we want everyone to see. We pinch, pull, squeeze, tweeze, smooth and slice ourselves beyond recognition. But is our beauty culture truly empowering? Are we really in control? In Pixel Flesh, Ellen Atlanta holds a mirror up to our modern beauty ideal, as well as the pressure to present a perfect image, to live in an age of constant comparison and curated feeds.

Women are expected to be many things. They should be creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile, feminine and self-reliant, not barren, butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.
