In Republic, Plato argues poets should be banned from the ideal society for their interest in illusion, in things other than the truth. In Suffrage Songs and Verses, Charlotte Perkins Gilman proves that poets are a danger to government¿not because they speak of illusions, but because they threaten the illusion by which the few hold power over the many.

Hvordan forhindres krig? Spørgsmålet stilles til Virginia Woolf på kanten til 2. verdenskrig. Hendes svar er denne bog. For at forhindre krig kræver det ifølge Woolf et opgør med den patriarkalske kultur, som leder til militarisme. Derfor skal kvinder gøres økonomisk uafhængige og have lige adgang til uddannelse, arbejdsmarkedet og den offentlige debat. Sprogligt virtuost og intellektuelt overbevisende giver Virginia Woolf i dette klassiske essay fra 1938 svar på et spørgsmål, som i dag fortsat er smerteligt aktuelt.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) er en af de største skønlitterære forfattere nogensinde og har skrevet romanklassikere som "Til fyret", "Mrs. Dalloway" og "Bølgerne".Bogen er en del af serien Feministisk bibliotek, der samler fire af de mest markante feministiske stemmer fra de sidste 100 år og introducerer de vigtigste diskussioner om forholdet mellem køn, magt og historie
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global world but impacted women with children and careers disproportionately. The social, familial, and professional strains of this crisis birthed with it the opportunity to reflect on the values, expectations, lifestyle, and priorities that have defined motherhood. This book uplifts the shared consciousness of motherhood; the common veil that transcends time, region, and boundary. Part contemporary anthology, part historical narrative, and fully nestled in the tenets of psychological science, this book spotlights the awakenings of 33 mothers of varied ages, ethnicities, family compositions, and professional backgrounds in the United States as they renegotiated motherhood and career. Each reflection offers a window into the heart of a career mother, capturing the kaleidoscope of her struggles, vulnerabilities, and hopes, while empowering her insights. The reflections are bound together by themes that cut across lived maternal experiences, bringing to light a powerful creed for a life re-imagined- one that propels mothers forward in all of their roles.
"A brilliantly funny and razor-tongued debut which follows a writer lured to Los Angeles to adapt her feminist mermaid novel into a big-budget action film, who believes her heroine has come to life to take revenge for Hollywood's violations. Penelope Schleeman, a consistently broke Connecticut high school teacher, is as surprised as anyone when her sensitive debut novel, "American Mermaid"-the story of a wheelchair-bound scientist named Sylvia who discovers that her withered legs are the vestiges of a powerful tail-becomes a bestseller. Penelope soon finds herself lured to LA by promises of easy money to co-write the "American Mermaid" screenplay for a major studio with a pair of male hacks. As the studio pressures Penelope to change "American Mermaid" from the story of a fierce, androgynous eco-warrior to a teen sex object in a clam bra, strange things start to happen. Threats appear in the screenplay draft; siren calls lure people into danger. When Penelope's screenwriting partners try to kill Sylvia off entirely in a bitterly false but cinematic end, matters off the page escalate. Is Penelope losing her mind, or is Sylvia among us? American Mermaid follows a young woman braving a world of casual smiles and ruthless calculation, where she discovers a beating heart in her own fiction--a creature she'll do anything to protect. By turns both a comic and fabulously insightful tale of two female characters in search of truth, love, and self-acceptance as they move between worlds without giving up their voices"--
This book uses the overlapping approaches of political care ethics and feminist posthumanism as a lens to focus on the notions of privileged irresponsibility, responsibility and response-ability within the context of higher education and as it pertains to the issues of colonialism/decolonisation, pandemics and the climate crisis. The book will appeal to scholars in the field of higher education as well as to those in several other fields, such as ecology, gender studies, sociology, philosophy, and political science.
