"It's a truism, for instance, that a few clothes are more shocking than none. But for women especially, bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without those visual references, however, each individual woman's body can be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique."

"I intend to do everything...I shall anticipate pleasure everywhere and find it too, for it is everywhere! I shall involve myself wholly...everything matters!" This first selection from Susan Sontag's diaries (from 1947-1963) takes us from early adolescence through to when Sontag was in her early 30s. It is an astonishingly affecting and honest self-portrait which is also a fascinating, revealing account of an artist and critic being born. We see Sontag honing her skills and fashioning herself, by a supreme act of will, into an intellectual force.

This is the riveting story of Noor Inayat Khan, the descendant of an Indian Prince Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore, who became a British secret agent for SOE during World War II. Born into an illustrious Indian family in 1914 and brought up in the non-violent Sufi religion, Noor seemed an unlikely secret agent. Yet she became the first female radio operator to be landed in enemy-occupied France, and refused to abandon her post in Paris in 1943, continuing her work under extremely dangerous circumstances.

In the early years of the 18th century, a band of French scientists set off on a daring, decade-long expedition to South America in a race to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000-foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats in the jungle, the scientists barely completed their mission.

«E noi, che cosa stiamo diventando? E io, cosa sono diventato?» si chiede Paolo Nori. E la risposta viene da una lontananza che in verità brucia distanze e porta con sé, come fosse turbine di visioni, di fatti, di sentimenti, e naturalmente di poesia, la vita di Anna Achmatova. «Vogliamo raccontare» dice Nori «la storia di Anna Achmatova, una poetessa russa nata nei pressi di Odessa nel 1889 e morta a Mosca nel 1966.

From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

يكاد قارئُ تاريخِ الفَلْسَفَة يتساءَل: لم كانت الفلسفةُ حِكراً على الذكور دون النساء؟ لكنَّه يعْدِل عن السُّؤال حينَ يبحث في كتبٍ أَفردتْ مساحةً للفَيلسوفات من النساء، ومنها «مَلِكات الفَلْسَفَة»، الذي اقتصرت صفحاته على 20 مُفكِّرةً مِمَّنْ برزْنَ، فنحتْنَ مصطلحاتٍ، وقدَّمْنَ إِسهاماتٍ رفدت الفكرَ الفَلسفيَّ على امتداد أَلْفِيَّتَيْن ونيِّف، بَدْءاً من دَيوتيما، وبانْ تجو (أوَّل مؤرِّخةٍ في تاريخ الصين القديم)، وحَنَّة آرِنتْ، والأكسفورديَّات، وهيباتْيا، مروراً بآنْجِلا ديفِزْ (الرَّمْز الأشهر لحركة القوَّة السوداء الأمريكيَّة)، ثم عزيزة الهِبْري (التي أوقفتْ بَحْثَها على تقاطُع مَفاهيم غربيَّةٍ مُعاصرة، مثل المُساواة بين الجنسيْن، مع التَّشريع الإسلاميِّ). سيجدُ القارئُ الـمعنيُّ بالمُنْجَز الفلسفِيِّ النِّسويِّ ضالَّته في «مَلِكات الفَلْسَفَة»، بما حوى مِنْ سِيَرٍ شخصيَّة ورُسومات، وبما توفَّر عليه من تبصُّرٍ وفكر. لكنَّ السُّؤال، بأثرٍ مِنْ هذا الكتاب وأَضْرابه، قد غدا: لماذا أقصيَتْ النِّساءُ من المِضْمار الفَلْسَفيِّ؟!
