'I dissent - Ich widerspreche.': Die wichtigsten Statements der berühmten Supreme Court Richterin un
'Vorreiterin. Heldin. Wonderwoman.' (ttt) 'I dissent - Ich widerspreche.' - diese Worte haben sie berühmt gemacht. Ruth Bader Ginsburg hat die Welt verändert. Die zierliche Richterin am Obersten Gerichtshof der USA war moralischer Kompass und feministische Ikone der Millennials - geschätzt, mitunter auch gefürchtet für ihren messerscharfen Verstand, ihren Witz und ihren Kampfgeist. Zeit ihres Lebens hat sie unbeirrt für Gerechtigkeit gekämpft. Im Alter von 87 Jahren ist sie am 18. September 2020 in Washington einem Krebsleiden erlegen. Nicht nur ihre hier ausgewählten wichtigsten Statements wirken weiter, auch ihre Botschaften hallen unvermindert nach. Ihre mutige Haltung inspiriert Menschen aller Generationen. Die Meilensteine ihrer Biografie sprechen für sich. 1956 begann RBG, wie viele sie heute nennen, ihr Jurastudium an der Eliteuniversität Harvard - als eine von nur neun Frauen unter 500 Männern. Sie wurde eine der ersten Jura-Professorinnen in den USA und erkämpfte in den 1970er-Jahren gegen alle Widerstände bahnbrechende Gerichtsurteile zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. 1993 ernannte Präsident Clinton sie zur Richterin am Supreme Court, die zweite Frau überhaupt am Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten.

'Until I Smile At You': How one girl's heartbreak electrified Frank Sinatra's fame
“Until I Smile At You” is a biography/memoir profiling one of the 20th century’s most enduring musical talents: Ruth Lowe, who overcame her grief by writing the song that launched Frank Sinatra’s career into the stratosphere in 1940, “I’ll Never Smile Again”. As Nancy Sinatra writes in the Foreword, “There’s a reason why ‘I’ll Never Smile Again’ has endured: it was a perfect song, interpreted by the perfect singer, at the perfect time.” The book details how Ruth managed to defeat the roadblocks that threatened her life, adopting a fearless attitude by overcoming challenges that might otherwise have broken her soul. And in today’s era of women claiming their full rights, “Until I Smile At You” also reveals Ms. Lowe as one of the earliest liberated females who worked in a man’s world (Tin Pan Alley) and never let her gender, nor her attractive good looks, get in the way of her outstanding talent. That’s why she’s been called, “One of the Architects of the American Ballad”, she is the recipient of a Grammy Award, her songs have been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, her signature tune has been selected as one of the best pop songs of all time and she’s soon to be added to the Great American Songbook Foundation Hall of Fame. “Until I Smile At You” opens up Ruth’s life for the first time, revealing her “on the road” adventures across North America as a member of the all-female band, Ina Ray Hutton’s “Mellowdears”. We also read about luminaries whom the author interviewed and who cast a warm glow on Ruth’s talents such as Bernie Taupin (Elton John’s lyricist), Sir Tim Rice (lyric writer for Andrew Lloyd Webber), Alan Bergman (award-winning songwriter for Barbra Streisand, Sinatra, etc.), the late Frank Sinatra Jr., music historian Chuck Granata, Sinatra biographer James Kaplan, singer David Clayton-Thomas, etc.

(Her)oics: Women's Lived Experiences During the Coronavirus Pandemic
(Her)oics: Women's Lived Experiences During the Coronavirus Pandemic draws together the stories of fifty-two women across the U.S. during the Covid-19 pandemic. The collection encompasses the perspectives of women who are: frontline responders and recovering patients; going out to work, staying home to work, and losing their jobs; living with multiple generations and living in isolation; women grieving loved ones and celebrating new love; women preparing to give birth and supporting the dying. Although differing based on location, age, race, and health, they share the unique capacity of women to bring their strength, ingenuity and love-for others and for self-to an uncertain time. The anthology is inspired by both the risks of the pandemic inherent to women and their tremendous role in the country's response.

Audiobook
Twenty-five percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. One woman out of four, in short. So it is not an isolated case, but millions of women who are faced with what remains one of the biggest taboos to this day. This same taboo is placed within a broader category that is the unapproachable topics related to the female world. This book aims to be an exploration of femininity in the round through the experience of involuntary termination of pregnancy. In the different chapters we will go along more or less beaten paths to understand what it means to be a woman in 2020. Being a woman is not a universal experience, but there are recurring themes on which it is correct to question ourselves in order to interface with the world around us. This book opens by questioning some parts of today's feminism and going through the personal experience of the author, including eating disorders, PCOS, depression and miscarriage.

25%: Una de Cada Cuatro Mujeres
El 25% de los embarazos acaban en aborto. En otras palabras, una de cada cuatro mujeres. Así que no es un caso aislado, sino que son millones de mujeres las que se enfrentan a lo que sigue siendo uno de los mayores tabúes. Este libro aborda algunos de los tabúes asociados al hecho de ser mujer, reflexionando sobre ciertas cuestiones que parecen especialmente interconectadas. La salud de la mujer, desde la menstruación hasta la infertilidad, desde los abortos hasta la salud mental. A pesar de algunos avances en los últimos años, los numerosos ejemplos recogidos en este libro demuestran que los progresos realizados hasta ahora no son suficientes. ¿Por qué las mujeres sienten la necesidad de esconder sus productos sanitarios cuando van al baño en el trabajo? ¿Por qué las mujeres deberían sentirse avergonzadas de hablar con su jefe sobre el dolor menstrual? ¿Por qué es una norma social que las mujeres anuncien su embarazo sólo después del primer trimestre? Esto normaliza el silencio a la fertilidad y las complicaciones del embarazo e ignora las implicaciones para la salud emocional.

Nei diversi capitoli andremo a percorrere sentieri più o meno battuti per comprendere cosa significhi essere donna nel 2020.

Questo audiolibro si apre mettendo in discussione alcune parti del femminismo odierno e attraversando l'esperienza personale dell'autrice, tra disordini alimentari, PCOS, depressione e aborto spontaneo.

5 Gallons to Empty: A Woman's Guide to Healthy Life Choices
I have created a memoir based narrative road map so that other young women can enjoy their feminity and gain a sense of inner strength while avoiding some of the painful roadblocks, quicksand, and dead ends that many falsely believe are a fact of life. I worked diligently to educate and rebuild myself and I have sifted through the years of workshops, manuscripts, therapists and outlets to highlight the few tools that I find to be the most efficient. In Five Gallons to Empty I share with honesty and vulnerability, my journey from despair and pain to strength and inner fortitude. It is my deepest desire to inspire other young women and to help them avoid the painful, unnecessary, and avoidable trials to which so many fall victim. It primarily approaches the subjects of sex, drugs and confidence. I have invested a tremendous amount of time, money, and emotion into this book. But in the end, it is not about me; it is about serving as a guide to young women. I believe they need one. I believe I am one. If you have taken note lately of their current role models, or if you have a daughter, you may agree that they are in dire need of a stronger voice. I am excited to see this audiobook release and to passionately market it so that young women everywhere can learn from my mistakes and live comfortably, powerfully, and productively.
