Cada feminicidio es un escándalo abrumador. ¿Cómo entender la saña, la violencia, el resentimiento y el odio raigal que asoman tras el deprecio con que se arrancan vidas de mujeres en México?, ¿cómo concebir la indiferencia institucional en torno a la cotidiana aparición de cuerpos ultrajados en todo el país?

Superwoman is alive and well and strutting around in her stilettos, sabotaging our right to an imperfect life. She is feeding our insecurities, she is damaging our self-belief, she is sabotaging our businesses, our careers and our relationships and she is NOT a great life model to pass on to our daughters. She is what happens when we buy into the modern myth of 'having it all' and she has to go! She empowers us to stay small; shop for things we don't...

Both unabashed in its love for the guilty pleasures of consumer culture and deeply thoughtful about the way the pop landscape reflects and impacts women's lives, Bitch grew to be a popular, full-scale magazine with a readership that stretched...

In Defence of Separatism is a timely book. When it was first written in 1976, although it was an important subject of conversation among many feminists it was not welcomed by academics or publishers.
