Western folklore and mythology are rife with brilliantly creative, fulfilled, feisty, and furious role models for aging women, despite our culture's focus on youthfulness. In her exciting new book, mythologist and psychologist Sharon Blackie explores these archetypes, presenting them in a way sure to appeal to contemporary women. Drawing inspiration from these examples, women can reclaim midlife as a liberating, alchemical moment rich with possibility and their elder years as a path to dynamic power.

Livre simple et direct pour que tous comprennent, livre lucide et courageux où l'humour est aussi une arme dans un combat qui se veut toujours positif. "Il faut que les femmes crient aujourd'hui. Et que les autres femmes - et les hommes - aient envie d'entendre ce cri. Qui n'est pas un cri de haine, à peine un cri de colère, mais un cri de vie." (Benoîte Groult)

Notre société trie les enfants à la naissance en fonction de leurs organes génitaux et en déduit leur rôle : homme ou femme, dominant ou dominée. Mais la société ne s'arrête pas à cette différenciation arbitraire. Vient ensuite la mise en relation obligatoire : chaque dominée devra vivre en couple avec un dominant. Le tout, paraît-il, pour assurer la reproduction, donc la survie de l'espèce. Mais dans ce cas, pourquoi être obligé de vivre en couple, toute sa vie ? Se reproduire ne prend pas autant de temps.

Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. Here, Virginia Woolf perfected the interior monologue and the novel's lyricism and accessibility have made it one of her most popular works.

Il est temps de réinventer le travail. On a répété à l'envi que le travail serait un refuge, un moyen pour les femmes de s'extirper de leur rôle assigné de mère et d'épouse, de gagner leur argent, leur liberté, de trouver leur place dans la société… De devenir, en somme, grâce à la sueur de leur front, les égales des hommes. Et si tout cela n'était qu'une grande illusion ? Le monde du travail n'est pas un espace neutre, un tremplin méritocratique ou égalitaire. C'est un monde construit par et pour les hommes, dont les règles du jeu garantissent le maintien de leurs privilèges.

The most important issue in a gay man’s life is not “coming out”, but coming to terms with the invalidating past. Despite the progress made in recent years, many gay men still wonder, “Are we better off?” The byproduct of growing up gay in a straight world continues to be the internalization of shame, rejection, and anger - a toxic cocktail that can lead to drug abuse, promiscuity, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.
