Story
It was one of the happiest and strangest marriages there has ever been. Both Vita and Harold were always in love with other people and each gave the other full liberty 'without enquiry or reproach', knowing that their love for each other would be unaffected and even strengthened by the crises which it survived. This account of their love story is now a modern classic.

Story
When we talk about motherhood and politics together, we usually talk about isolated moments - the policing of breastfeeding, or the cost of childcare. But this is not enough: we need to understand motherhood itself as an inherently political state, one that has the potential to pose a serious challenge to the status quo. In Mother State, Helen Charman uses this provocative insight to write a new history of Britain and Northern Ireland. Beginning with Women's Liberation and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an alternative future.

Story
During the pandemic, trapped at home with young children and struggling to find creative space to write, journalist Begoña Gómez Urzaiz became fixated on artistic women who were able to overcome both society’s judgement and their own maternal instincts in order to leave their children. More than anything, she was fascinated by her own prejudice towards these women, so clearly tied up in a much wider cultural bias.

Story
"Considerate se questa è una donna | Senza capelli e senza nome | Senza piú forza di ricordare | Vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo | Come una rana d'inverno". È con questa immagine scarnificata che Primo Levi, nell'incipit di Se questo è un uomo, indica la necessità di riflettere sulla condizione delle donne prigioniere ad Auschwitz. Eppure per molti anni la storiografia e la testimonianza hanno appiattito l'esperienza femminile in una declinazione universale, in un neutro linguistico che, dimenticando i corpi sessuati, ha reso opaca l'intenzionalità stessa dello sterminio.

Story
Immaculate Forms examines all the ways in which medicine and religion have played a gatekeeping role over women's organs. It explores how the womb was seen as both the most miraculous organ in the body and as a sewer; uncovers breasts' legacies as maternal or sexual organs - or both; probes the mystery of the disappearing hymen, and asks, did the clitoris need to be discovered at all?

Story
December 8th, 1941 marked the start of the full-scale invasion of the Philippines during World War 2. With the surrender of the Bataan Peninsula and the fortified island Corregidor in the Spring of 1942, all hope seemed lost. But, almost overnight, the Philippine underground resistance began to take shape. Units made up of guerrilla volunteers from all walks of life participated in the liberation of the Philippines.
