We remember Audre Lorde as an iconic writer, a quotable teacher whose words and face grace T-shirts, nonprofit annual reports, and campus diversity-center walls. But even those who are inspired by Lorde’s teachings on “the creative power of difference” may be missing something fundamental about her life and work, and what they can mean for us today. Lorde’s understanding of survival was not simply about getting through to the other side of oppression or being resilient in the face of cancer. It was about the total stakes of what it means to be in relationship with a planet in transformation.

Story
Elizabeth Arden was a household name on six continents and a millionaire several times over before her death in 1966. Arden counted British royalty and social elites from the overlapping worlds of New York, Hollywood, London, and Paris among her clients. She revolutionized skin care and cosmetics, making it acceptable for all women to embrace glamour and wear makeup—not just actresses and prostitutes. She created a successful international business empire before women gained the vote and at a time when virtually no woman owned or ran a national company.

Story
Malintzin was the indigenous woman who translated for Hernando Cortes in his dealings with the Aztec emperor Moctezuma in the days of 1519 to 1521. The Spanish called her doña Marina, and she has become known to posterity as La Malinche. As Malinche, she has long been regarded as a traitor to her people, a dangerously sexy, scheming woman who gave Cortes whatever he wanted out of her own self-interest. The life of the real woman, however, was much more complicated.

Everyone in their village knew Agnes Spicer was Russian, that she had been a captive of the Nazis. And that was all they knew, because Agnes kept her secrets close: how she managed to escape Germany, what the tattoo on her arm meant, even her real name. Discovering the truth about her beloved, charismatic, volatile mother became Roxana's obsession.

Vette's story is an honest and compelling look at how the realities of childhood abuse, addiction, and sexual violence can lead to a life of exploitation and human trafficking. She writes with a vulnerability that informs but also inspires the listener to consider the underlying issues of family dysfunction, systemic oppression, religious gender-based violence, addiction, and sex trafficking with a new awareness.

Anerkennung, Freiheit, Karriere: Dafür kämpfte Clara Schumann ihr Leben lang – und stand vor den gleichen Herausforderungen wie Frauen im 21. Jahrhundert. Sie haderte mit ihrer Rolle als Mutter von sieben Kindern und mit der nahezu unmöglichen Aufgabe, Beruf und Familie zu vereinbaren. Gestützt auf bisher unbeachtete Quellen, erzählt Bestsellerautorin Christine Eichel das Leben der gefeierten Pianistin und Komponistin radikal neu und räumt dabei mit einigen Klischees auf. Clara Schumann war keine sanfte Muse im Schatten ihres genialischen Mannes Robert.

Une épopée féministe, portée par un duo complémentaire de comédiennes ! Avant d'être portée disparue avec son biplan en 1950, Marian Graves aura passé sa vie à se jouer des règles imposées au " sexe faible ". Son lien indéfectible avec l'aventure et le danger s'établit dès ses premiers mois, quand elle est sauvée d'un paquebot en flammes. Puis, confiée à la garde d'un oncle fantasque dans le Montana, elle comprend à 12 ans qu'elle ne veut qu'une chose : piloter. Un rêve audacieux, mais si irrésistible qu'il la conduira à tenter un tour du globe par les deux pôles.
