A spirited, deeply researched exploration of why capitalism is bad for women and how, when done right, socialism leads to economic independence, better labor conditions, better work-life balance and, yes, even better sex. In a witty, irreverent op-ed piece that went viral, Kristen Ghodsee argued that women had better sex under socialism. The response was tremendous -- clearly she articulated something many women had sensed for years: the problem is with capitalism, not with us. Ghodsee, an acclaimed ethnographer and professor of Russian and East European Studies, spent years researching what happened to women in countries that transitioned from state socialism to capitalism. She argues here that unregulated capitalism disproportionately harms women, and that we should learn from the past. By rejecting the bad and salvaging the good, we can adapt some socialist ideas to the 21st century and improve our lives. She tackles all aspects of a woman's life - work, parenting, sex and relationships, citizenship, and leadership. In a chapter called "Women: Like Men, But Cheaper," she talks about women in the workplace, discussing everything from the wage gap to harassment and discrimination. In "What To Expect When You're Expecting Exploitation," she addresses motherhood and how "having it all" is impossible under capitalism. Women are standing up for themselves like never before, from the increase in the number of women running for office to the women's march to the long-overdue public outcry against sexual harassment. Interest in socialism is also on the rise - whether it's the popularity of Bernie Sanders or the skyrocketing membership numbers of the Democratic Socialists of America. It's become increasingly clear to women that capitalism isn't working for us, and Ghodsee is the informed, lively guide who can show us the way forward.

1928年10月，伍尔夫在剑桥大学做了两场面向女性的演讲——“女性与小说”。之后她在此基础上撰写《一间只属于自己的房间》，并于1929年出版。 伍尔夫讲述了在男权社会中，女性生存的困境、历史对女性的偏见、女性面对的共同命运以及女性贫困对其创作的影响等问题；提出女性要认清自身的境遇，积极争取独立的经济力量和社会地位，独立思考，自由生活，发挥出女性的最大优势，成就自我。 “女性身上有一种高度发达的创造力，生来复杂且强大……她们的创造力和男性的极为不同。这种力量是几个世纪的严厉约束换来的，它不可替代，如果遭到遏制或者白白浪费，那绝对是一万个可惜。”

颠覆性的LES情欲私密之书 台湾几个世代拉子圈的“圣经” 蒋勋 骆以军 陈雪 推荐 告别人世的心路剖析 女性情欲的深度书写 以死亡的决绝和纯粹 见证爱的不朽不灭 对生命终极意义的追寻，对灵魂绝望的拷问，永久地震撼着世上所有苍白的灵魂 深深堕入生命中最黑暗的痛苦里，挣扎着爱与死的意义——死亡，也是创作的一部分吗？ 一九九五年夏天，才华洋溢的台湾小说家邱妙津在巴黎以惨烈的自杀结束了自己年仅二十六岁的生命。这二十封信，是她留给这个世界的生命告白。爱欲的强烈、背叛的痛苦、不顾一切的占有与痛切的自我剖析在文字中喷薄而出，而关于爱与艺术的纯粹追问，也永久地震撼着世上所有苍白的灵魂。 本书甫一问世就引爆了整个台湾，对于整整一代尚未有机会深思爱与死真谛的青年来说，邱妙津的文字提供的，不仅是经典的阅读对象，更是一个朝圣的坐标，以及面对诚实爱欲的灵魂自白。 “我对我的生命意义是真正诚实与负责的，尽管我的肉体死了，形式的生命结束了，但是我并不觉得我的灵魂就因此被消灭，无形的生命就因此而终止。” 我们可以用“死亡”去答辩这个荒谬的世界吗？于是，我读到了《蒙马特遗书》。台湾战后少数让我掩面哭泣的一本书。——蒋勋 《蒙马特遗书》在台湾，几乎已是女同志人人必读的经典，甚至可能几个世代（至今二十年了）拉子圈的“圣经”……《蒙马特遗书》已不止是邱妙津自己的创作资产，它像《红楼梦》、莎翁的戏剧，成为台湾拉子世界那极域之梦，浓缩隐喻。——骆以军 人们崇拜一个死者，并由此得到生的力量，无论对于作者或读者而言，这是意义非凡的作品，“有如此的灵魂存在，世界真美，我更舍不得死了。”但愿这会是大家读完《蒙马特遗书》的赞叹。 ——陈雪

《在期待之中》是法国女哲学家西蒙娜•薇依的书信及文集。西蒙娜•薇依(Simone Weil,1909-1943)，20世纪法国哲学家、社会活动家、神秘主义思想大师。在西方神秘主义思想史上，西蒙娜•薇依的思想占有独特的地位，既表达出西方神秘主义的诸种基本共性，亦表达出她自己独具的个性。 薇依思想广博、著述亦丰。但法文原著版本颇为散乱，《在期待之中》是一个比较好的法文选本，从中可大致窥见其思想特点。

I ask no favors for my sex… All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks. —Sarah Moore Grimké, activist for women’s suffrage, 1837 As the United States Supreme Court leans increasingly to the right, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s vigorous dissenting opinions and ferocious 20-push-up workouts have earned this tiny, soft-spoken, intellectual giant the status of rock star and the title “Notorious RBG.” What many don’t know is Ginsburg’s strategic, trailblazing role in defining gender-discrimination law. Intent on systematically releasing women from second-class status, she argued six pivotal gender-bias cases in the 1970s before an all-male Supreme Court blind to sexism. Now 84, and still inspired by the lawyers who defended free speech during the Red Scare, Ginsburg refuses to relinquish her passionate duty, steadily fighting for equal rights for all citizens under the law. Through intimate interviews and unprecedented access to Ginsburg’s life outside the court, RBG tells the electric story of Ginsburg’s consuming love affairs with both the Constitution and her beloved husband Marty—and of a life’s work that led her to become an icon of justice in the highest court in the land.

《给一个未出生孩子的信》是一本社会历史、真诚忏悔与虚构故事的混合物，是作者“刻骨铭心的情感经历这颗精子”和“想象力这颗卵子”天然受孕的结果。 它的主题不仅涉及文学史上从未接触过的内容— 一个未婚母亲与她腹中胎儿的一段旷世未有的缠绵恋情，而且涉及作者对人类生与死、爱与恨的深刻怀疑与痛苦思索。无论从哪方面说，这本书都是法拉奇的不朽之作。
