Todos conocemos la historia de Sherezade, pero nadie ha leído Las mil y una noches como lo haría Jeanette Winterson, que se sumerge en este libro legendario para plantear preguntas y respuestas aún hoy vigentes: ¿cómo influyen nuestros relatos en las creencias sobre el mundo?, ¿cuál es el impacto de la imaginación sobre la realidad?, ¿dónde está el límite entre la honestidad y la mentira?, ¿es el amor, acaso, lo más importante?

Etwas fühlt sich falsch an: Wenn wir lächeln, obwohl wir eigentlich streiten möchten. Wenn wir unsere Freundinnen ghosten, weil wir Konfrontation fürchten und Konflikte vermeiden wollen. Wenn wir uns für Feminismus einsetzen, aber anderen Frauen* nicht vertrauen und instinktiv nach ihren Fehlern und Schwächen suchen. Was lauert da in uns weiblich sozialisierten Menschen, dass wir uns immer wieder gegen uns selbst und andere richten? In mutiger Selbstbefragung führt uns Sophia Fritz dorthin, wo es weh tut, und zeigt uns ein Phänomen, von dem wir gerade erst begreifen, wie sehr es unsere Lebenswelt bestimmt: Toxische Weiblichkeit.

We live in a wonderfully diverse and increasingly connected world. With that rise in connection comes a steep rise in expectations... Expectations that we know how to talk about diversity, including with people who are different than ourselves... Expectations that we lean into uncomfortable conversations, with sufficient fluency that we don't cause offence... Expectations that we act, instead of simply walking by inequality. Although most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go as far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion.

Noi diversamente performanti esistiamo davvero, non solo nei giudizi delle nostre madri e nella nostra psiche. Noi, che non ci collochiamo né qui né lì, o meglio, a volte qui, a volte lì, tiriamo avanti per la nostra strada con una sola costante: ci sentiamo sempre come se stessimo perdendo qualcosa, in colpa, in difetto. “Le donne hanno risorse infinite”, “come lo fa la mamma non lo fa nessuno”, “i figli sono delle madri”, “le donne sono multitasking”. Quante volte abbiamo sentito queste frasi? Belle eh, ma non ci vivremmo.

Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision.

There was once a time in Ancient Egypt where women ruled like Kings and enjoyed more equal rights than modern women today. Revolutionary Woman reminds us of that time and calls for an all-out revolt.

With personal stories, history lessons, research, and humor—this book will light a fire under your ass, make you laugh, and help you create the life you truly deserve.
