New Perspectives on Global Gender-Based Violence

A brutally honest confessional that reckons with the darkest parts of the male psyche and provides a framework for men to heal themselves and their relationships. When Sean Hotchkiss watched his father spiral after his second divorce and jump off a thirty-six-story bridge, the cause of his suicide to Sean, even at twenty-two, was clear: his father couldn’t live without a woman. And following his father’s death, Sean vowed to never find himself in the same position. He’d never be alone. Women became Sean’s compass. They were the way he clocked if he was doing okay in the world: if women liked him, desired him, wanted to sleep with him, all was well. And he dated and slept with as many women as possible in the coming years, running away from himself and his pain. Then, in 2015, he hit rock bottom after another breakup. Like his father before him, he became depressed and finally, suicidal. It was the beginning of a decade-long odyssey towards healing. A candid and vulnerable memoir, Hating Women is a book for men who are disappointed by dating or by relationships that stagnate and sour; men who are struggling to confront their demons and with the pain they’ve caused the women in their lives. By detailing the connection between his toxic experiences with women and suppressed rage, Hotchkiss offers a roadmap out. What begins as confession becomes initiation: a reckoning that each man must go through to reclaim a capacity for vulnerability and live a life grounded in core values, including loving and honoring the women in his life.

A Memoir of Male Rage and Recovery

Hating Women

Nobody is coming to save us - so we'll lead a revolution to save ourselves.The 'glass ceiling' was just the first barrier - now comes the 'glass cliff' and the takedown playbook. The global rollback of DEI programs, the literal deletion of women in leadership and the entrenched assumption that only white men are competent leaders make one thing clear: institutional bias isn't going anywhere and, in fact, is likely to go backwards.In short, nobody is coming to save us. If women want to drive real change, we must claim our power and take control of our own destiny by banding together to make progress. The science is clear: more diverse teams drive better business outcomes.Shannon Nutter and Julia Carreon know this from first-hand experience. They climbed to the C-suite at some of the world's largest financial institutions while staying true to who they are. They built careers that weren't just successful, they were fully their own. And along the way, they learned that what women really need isn't another set of instructions for how to change themselves, it's a playbook for how to identify and prepare for bad behavior, from women with lived experience of it.

Navigating the aftermath of the glass ceiling

Walking on Broken Glass

'Magical ... truly original ... Writing of people who limited themselves and died of it, Als has overcome limits' The New York Times Book Review What are the forces that shape us? Hilton Als's brilliant, now-classic meditation on gender, race and personal identity in America In The Women, Hilton Als explores-with breath taking originality-the role of sexual and racial identity in marginalized lives. With a blend of fact and fiction, Als brings to vivid life a number of extraordinary characters, including: his mother, a singular woman whose West Indian heritage and determination inspired her son to write; Malcolm X's mother, whose mixed-race background and eventual descent into madness contributed to her son's burgeoning misogyny and fear; brilliant, Harvard-educated Dorothy Dean, who deeply empathized with white gay men; and Owen Dodson, teacher and poet, who played an important role in the author's development as a gay man, and thinker.Combining memoir, cultural history, social theory and storytelling, The Women is a profoundly innovative work which has inspired a generation of writers. Here, Als submits both racial and sexual stereotypes to scrutiny, showing 'no mercy but every tenderness'. The results are exhilarating. The Women is that rarest of books: a memorable work of self-investigation that creates a form of all its own.

The Women

The Margellos World Republic of Letters

The extraordinary testimony of a daring Caribbean writer-activist, determined to expose injustice and defend the dignity of migrant workersA Words Without Borders Most Anticipated Book of 2026 &nbsp; In the 1960s, hundreds of women traveled from French colonies in the West Indies to become domestic workers for white families in France. Lured by the French government with the false promise of economic opportunity, these women instead found themselves subjected to racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, overwork, and no pay until they "earned back" the cost of the trip to France.After hearing the shocking stories of Caribbean domestic workers, Françoise Ega took a position as a cleaning woman in wealthy French homes in order to chronicle these abuses. Structured as a collection of unsent letters to the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, Notes to a Black Woman weaves the story of Ega's experiences in France with her memories of Martinique, her observations on the joys and tribulations of family life, and her reflections on the power of the written word to reveal the discomfiting truths behind the facade of bourgeois French society.Composed on her bus commutes and by candlelight at her kitchen table while her five children slept, Notes to a Black Woman is a piercing denunciation of the legacies of colonialism and slavery, a wholesale rejection of alienation, and an intimate archive of friendship, joy, solidarity, motherhood, and hope.

Notes to a Black Woman

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A GMA BOOK CLUB PICK • A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (SO FAR) • A traditional American woman, a “tradwife” influencer, suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855—where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister in this sensational debut novel. "A bold and biting satire, Yesteryear…will have you cackling and gasping right to the final page." —Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive. Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalie’s followers—all 8 million of them—don’t know won’t hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They’re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn’t simply living the good life, she’s living the ideal—and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn’t hers. Her home, her husband, her children—they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she’s expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible. A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.

Fantastically Great Women Who Saved the Planet

“An unputdownable paean to female rage and retribution.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author JODI PICOULT You know her name, but you’ll never know her secrets. The glitz and gritty glamour of 1970s New York City hides a much more sinister reality for the women who live there, but Ginger Daughtry and her two beloved roommates refuse to be victims. They are living the dream, embracing all the city has to offer—dancing under the glow of the disco ball, discovering themselves and what they want out of life—until one of them is assaulted. When the cops do nothing, they take matters into their own hands and Lady X is born. What starts as a little vandalism soon escalates to something far more dangerous. After a body is found fallen—or pushed—from five stories high, all eyes are on Lady X. But she’s vanished into thin air. In modern day Los Angeles, Margot Cooper wants nothing more than to run away from the world—and the paparazzi—after it’s very publicly revealed her actor husband has betrayed her. While hiding in her childhood home with her sister and teenage daughter, she discovers a box full of old clippings in the attic all about Lady X, a mysterious vigilante who exposed and vandalized terrible men throughout New York City in the summer of 1977, including a blurry newspaper photo that stops her in her tracks. Suddenly the consequences of the past race to meet Margot as she contends with her own future in this powerful and propulsive novel.

The search for a notorious vigilante exposes the secrets among three generations of women, from contemporary L.A. to gritty 1970s New York, in this propulsive novel hailed as “an unputdownable paean to female rage and retribution” by #1 bestselling author Jodi Picoult. Los Angeles, 2024. After learning that her A-list actor husband sent explicit photos to multiple girls on social media, Margot Cooper runs away from the world—and the paparazzi—by fleeing to her childhood home with her teenage daughter in tow. But home isn’t the sanctuary Margot was hoping for. In a cardboard box in the corner of the attic, she finds damning evidence of an infamous urban legend, the mysterious vigilante “Lady X”—including a blurry newspaper photo of a woman who looks an awful lot like Margot’s mother. New York City, 1977. In the midst of an infamous summer, Ginger Daughtry and her two beloved roommates are able to shield one another from the chaos—until one of them is assaulted. Astounded by the lack of response from police, the young women decide to engage in some light payback, signing their handiwork as “Lady X.” Soon copycats appear, and a movement inspired by acts of vandalism against terrible men spirals out of control, with criminals running amok under the guise of the enigmatic Lady X. When a body is found fallen—or pushed—from five stories high, the hunt reaches a boiling point.

Fantastically Great Women Who Worked Wonders

A fearlessly feminist philosophical approach to defying diet culture, cultivating radical self-care, and rediscovering empowered embodiment Informed by personal narrative, cultural studies, and the work of luminaries from Simone de Beauvoir and Mary Wollstonecraft to Audre Lorde and Roxane Gay In this timely and unflinching manifesto, Dr. Celine Leboeuf unpacks the philosophical and oppressive systems that sustain our cultural obsession with being thin—why it’s framed as something to “achieve,” how it’s predicated on exclusion, and that the goalposts are racist and misogynistic—and always moving. Drawing on memoir, feminist theory, and cultural analysis, The Tyranny of Thinness is a wide-ranging and erudite treatise on how the skinny ideal shapes our earliest memories and experiences—and steals joy, agency, and self-determination from our adolescences, our social identities, our ambitions, and even our sense of moral worth. <ul><li>Part 1 traces the origins of fatphobia in anti-Black racism, unpacking how thinness is a carefully constructed ideal. Dr. Céline Leboeuf shows how self-objectification is instilled in young girls and diverted toward activities that enforce objectification.&nbsp; </li><li>Part 2 offers a path forward. Through embodied practices like intuitive eating, joyful movement, sensual awareness, community care, and the philosophical exercise of world-remaking, The Tyranny of Thinness outlines a new way of living in one's body that is compassionate, realistic, and self-empowering. </li></ul> From the resurrection of heroin chic and thinspo to the rise of #SkinnyTok and Ozempic, Dr. Leboeuf exposes how thinness becomes a political weapon—and shows how the body positivity movement has been coopted and repackaged. This book is an elevated must-read for anyone struggling with body image—and every reader searching to understand what the culture dictates about beauty and perceived worth.

Understanding and Resisting the Pressure to Be Skinny

The Tyranny of Thinness

'The feminist manifesto we should all read - even men' Telegraph 'Honest, brave, and hilariously funny, this is the book on women I've been waiting for' Celia Walden 'Strimpel's challenge to the culture of victimhood and pessimism around young women is well made and worth serious thought' Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP, Leader of HM Opposition &amp; Leader of the Conservative Party 'Zoe is a brilliant writer and this is an engaging and fascinating book. Like all the best journalists she dares to question the received thinking passed down to woman by society, in this case liberal feminism. Her ideas are clear, sharp and uncomfortable - every young woman should read it' Camilla Long Women's freedom is in jeopardy. Misogyny is everywhere. Courtship, duty and marriage are dying phenomenons - nails in the coffin to female happiness. Our bodies are an inventory of pain and weakness. Evidently, it is a very bad time to be female. Or so we're told. In Good Slut, Zoe Strimpel examines the myths that submerge women in narratives of victimhood and fragility, instead offering a much-needed dose of realism. Because while women's agency is increasingly under threat by the return of 'traditional' values, fuelled by fear-mongering discourse from both the political left and right, it's unequivocally never been a better time to be a woman. It may be complex terrain, yet women's pain, injustices, experiences and achievements are taken more seriously now than ever before. What's more, the opportunities in free societies are endless: whether sexual freedom, bodily autonomy or financial independence, women can, should and will - if they desire - have it all. Courageous, defiant and incisive in its approach, Good Slut argues that liberation - true liberation - comes not from fear or shame, but from making the most out of the intertwined forces of money, power, and, of course, sex. A fierce celebration of female agency and choice, it is a timely reminder to get back in touch with the joy and freedoms available to us - if only we dare to grasp it.
