Feminismo y crítica jurídica.

El análisis distributivo como alternativa crítica al legalismo liberal.

Become a more confident, independent, and successful decision maker—savvy to how your emotions, moods, and habits can trip you up.In our fast-moving world, we're overloaded with differing opinions, conflicting data, and changing advice. But how thoroughly do we scrutinize those we listen to? Are we open to new ways of tackling problems or constrained by how we've made past decisions? How much do we challenge ourselves?By combining stories from Hollywood to NASA with the latest in brain science, Noreena Hertz reveals the extent to which life-altering, business-affecting, policy-determining, and health-defining decisions are based on partial information, assumed wisdoms, corrupted data, and insufficient scrutiny. In this essential guide, she offers practical ways to make better, smarter choices and more accurate predictions—in your personal life and at work.

Eyes Wide Open: How to Make Smart Decisions in a Confusing World is Noreen Hertz’s practical, cutting-edge guide to help you cut through the data deluge and make smarter and better choices, based on her highly popular TED talk.In this eye-opening handbook, the internationally noted speaker, economics expert, and bestselling author of IOU: The Debt Threat and Silent Takeover reveals the extent to which the biggest decisions in our lives are often made on the basis of flawed information, weak assumptions, corrupted data, insufficient scrutiny of others, and a lack of self-knowledge.To avert such disasters, Hertz persuasively argues, we need to become empowered decision-makers, capable of making high-stakes choices and holding accountable those who advise us.In Eyes Wide Open, she weaves together scientific research with real-world examples from Hollywood to Harry Potter, NASA to World War Two spies, to construct a path to more astute and empowered decision-making in ten clear steps. With a razor-sharp intellect and an instinct for popular storytelling, she offers counter-intuitive, actionable guidance for making better choices—whether you are a business-person, a professional, a patient, or a parent. In an age of constant distraction and misinformation, how do you learn to see clearly and think for yourself? <ul><li>Actionable Strategies: Learn ten clear, counter-intuitive steps to smarter decision-making, designed to help you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters.</li><li>Challenge the Experts: Discover why the people we trust most—from doctors to financial advisors—are often wrong, and learn how to question their assumptions with confidence.</li><li>Overcome Information Overload: Develop practical techniques to filter the data deluge, identify misinformation, and protect yourself from the hidden biases that lead to poor choices.</li><li>Behavioral Economics in Practice: See these powerful principles in action through fascinating, real-world examples from NASA, World War Two spies, Hollywood, and more.</li></ul>

How to Make Smart Decisions in a Confusing World

Eyes Wide Open

"Stylish, striking, and elegantly packaged...as indispensible to confronting, say, your domineering mother-in-law or your local city council as it is to helping foment an ongoing and ever-escalating insurrection against, say, a sexist, racist, nepotistic power-mad oligarchy threatening to destory democracy as we know it...My advice: Buy one"--VOGUEFrom artist, activist, and Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova, a guerilla guide to radical protest and joyful political resistanceThe face of modern protest is wearing a brightly colored ski mask. Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, is a creative activist, professional protestor, brazen feminist, shocking visual artist, and force to be reckoned with. Her spontaneous, explosive approach to political action has involved jumping over barbed wire, kissing police officers, giving guerilla performances in crowded subway cars, and going on a hunger strike to protest the abuse of prisoners. She’s been horse-whipped by police in Sochi, temporarily blinded when officers threw green paint in her eyes, and monitored by the Russian government. But what made Nadya an activist icon overnight happened on February 21, 2012, when she was arrested for performing an anti-Putin protest song in a Moscow church. She was sent to a Russian prison for 18 months and emerged as an international symbol of radical resistance, as calls to “Free Pussy Riot” resounded around the world. With her emblematic ski mask, black lipstick, and unwavering bravery, Nadya has become an emissary of hope and optimism despite overwhelming and ugly political corruption. Read &amp; Riot is structured around Nadya’s ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate! Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the typical “call your senator” guidelines,&nbsp;Read &amp; Riot&nbsp;gives us a refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right to question every status quo and make political action exciting—even joyful. How do you fight an oppressive state and have fun doing it? <ul><li>A Modern Feminist Manifesto: Combining the legacy of riot grrrl with her own brazen philosophy, Tolokonnikova lays out a vision for a new generation of feminist action.</li><li>The DIY Ethos: Learn Pussy Riot's secrets to making art without money, organizing without permission, and creating a political feminist punk band from scratch.</li><li>Joy as an Act of Resistance: Discover why laughter is the ultimate weapon, how to find joy even in a Russian prison, and why your revolution should feel like a party.</li><li>A Guerilla Guide to Radical Protest: Go beyond calling your senator with ten rules for revolution, from making your government shit its pants to committing an "art crime."</li></ul>

Clásicos Hispánicos

La idea del comportamiento civilizado en la Edad Media y Moderna estaba íntimamente relacionada con la representación de la mujer como modelo de la virtud. El refinamiento, la piedad y templanza que mostraban las damas virtuosas en el interior de los palacios serían ejemplos para los hombres con modales rudos adquiridos en los campos de batalla, o los entornos de la sociabilidad masculina. La virtud parece ser mujer, y el vicio hombre, afirmaba con ingenio la dama Emilia Pía en el libro El Cortesano de Castiglione.

La definición de las cualidades típicamente femeninas, y cómo estas se expresaban en la práctica, sin embargo, variaba conforme al papel que se atribuía a la mujer en la sociedad, y según la época. En este libro destacados especialistas analizan la virtud femenina desde los campos de la historia, la literatura y la filosofía, y la contrastan con la representación misógina de la mujer como disoluta y pérfida, igualmente omnipresente en la época. Pasan revista a damas nobles, damas de corte, poetas, monjas, reinas, embajadoras, y se analizan textos literarios y otras fuentes desde los tiempos de los trovadores hasta la Ilustración y el ocaso del Antiguo Régimen, con el fin de estudiar como los diferentes modelos de virtud favorecieron y restringieron la actuación de las mujeres en la sociedad en aquellos tiempos.

La virtud es mujer : la dimensión femenina en la práctica y la teoría moral de la época medieval y moderna

Dua Lipa's September Book Club Pick!Included in The Guardian's Best Translated Fiction of 2024"[Bad Habit] shows us that a 'trans novel' can actually be anything it wants to be." –New York Times"A novel that could very well serve as a surrogate mother for future children who grow up lonely and trans." –Washington PostCombining the raw realism and vulnerability of&nbsp;Shuggie Bain and Detransition, Baby with the poignant sensibility of Pedro Almodóvar, a staggering coming-of-age novel deeply rooted in the struggles of a trans woman growing up in Madrid.Anchored by the voice of its sweet and defiant narrator, Bad Habit casts a trans woman’s trying youth as a heartfelt odyssey. Raised in an animated yet impoverished blue-collar neighborhood, Alana S. Portero’s protagonist struggles to find her place. As the city around her changes–the heroin epidemic that ravages Madrid through the '80s and '90s, rallying calls of worker solidarity and the pulsing beat of the city's night scene– she becomes increasingly detached from the world and, most crucially, herself.Yet through her eyes, the streets and people of Madrid are illuminated by a poetry absent from everyday life. And by this guiding light she begins to plot her own course, from Margarita, the local trans woman whose unspoken kinship both captivates and frightens her, to Jay, her first love and source of an inevitable heartbreak, to the irrepressible diva Caramel.&nbsp;As she forges ahead, she sets her compass to a personal north star: endeavoring to find herself.&nbsp;But with each step forward, she is confronted by a violence she doesn’t yet know how to counter; in this exciting, often terrifying, world each choice is truly a matter of life and death.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With her first novel, Alana S. Portero strikingly underscores the ties between gender and class, the search for identity, and the power of sisterhood and community. Gentle but blistering,&nbsp;Bad Habit&nbsp;is a mesmerizing story of self-realization that speaks to the outsider in all of us.&nbsp;&nbsp;Translated from the Spanish by Mara Faye Lethem

NATIONAL BESTSELLERThe world has changed in the wake of the #MeToo movement. What comes next? Going beyond the message of Lean In and The Confidence Code, Joanne Lippman, Gannett's Chief Content Officer, offers solutions to help professionals solve gender gap issues and achieve parity at work in this inclusive and realistic handbook. Newly updated by the author to include a cheat sheet for taking positive action now, this timely, essential book also offers tools for having tough-but necessary-discussions.Companies with more women in senior leadership perform better by virtually every financial measure, and women employees help boost creativity and can temper risky behavior-such as the financial gambles behind the 2008 economic collapse. Yet in the United States, ninety-five percent of Fortune 500 chief executives are men, and women hold only seventeen percent of seats on corporate boards. More men are reaching across the gender divide, genuinely trying to reinvent the culture and transform the way we work together. Despite these good intentions, fumbles, missteps, frustration, and misunderstanding continue to inflict real and lasting damage on women's careers.What can the Enron scandal teach us about the way men and women communicate professionally? How does brain circuitry help explain men's fear of women's emotions at work? Why did Kimberly Clark blindly have an all-male team of executives in charge of their Kotex tampon line? In That's What She Said, veteran media executive Joanne Lipman raises these intriguing questions and more to find workable solutions that individual managers, organizations, and policy makers can employ to make work more equitable and rewarding for all professionals.Filled with illuminating anecdotes, data from the most recent relevant studies, and stories from Lipman's own journey to the top of a male-dominated industry, That's What She Said is a book about success that persuasively shows why empowering women as true equals is an essential goal for us all-and offers a roadmap for getting there. This essential book moves beyond the blame game to offer a clear, actionable guide for men and women to build a better workplace together, including: <ul><li>Unconscious Bias: Discover why well-intentioned people still make biased decisions, and learn proven techniques to de-bias hiring, promotions, and daily interactions.</li><li>Men as Allies: Move beyond the “men are the enemy” narrative with concrete strategies that bring men into the conversation, showing why gender parity benefits everyone.</li><li>Closing the Gender Pay Gap: Understand why women often don’t ask for a raise—and what managers can do right now to ensure fair compensation and equal opportunity.</li><li>Gender Dynamics at Work: Explore real-world case studies from Enron to the tech industry that reveal how men and women communicate differently, and what to do to bridge that divide.</li><li>Women in Leadership: Get a practical roadmap for organizations to empower women, remove systemic barriers, and achieve true parity in the C-suite and beyond.</li></ul>
