Beschreibung

Self-Identity Shifts explores the significant psychological impact of motherhood on a woman's sense of self. It examines how becoming a mother prompts identity shifts, challenging pre-existing notions of who a woman is and what she values. The book highlights how societal expectations and internal role negotiation shape the maternal identity, often leading to a re-evaluation of personal priorities. For example, many women find their career goals shifting as they consider the needs of their child, or experience the pressure of societal expectations regarding parenting styles. The book uniquely blends historical context with contemporary insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of maternal well-being. It traces the evolution of motherhood through different eras, highlighting the changing pressures and expectations faced by women. The book moves systematically across chapters, beginning with an introduction to self-identity and maternal identity, then examining the psychological processes at play, the impact of societal pressures, and finally, strategies for navigating these shifts. This approach helps women proactively engage with their changing identities, fostering self-awareness and resilience in the face of a profound life transition.

Twelve Feminist Lessons of War

Cynthia Enloe

Renowned scholar-activist Cynthia Enloe lays out the lessons that women activists have drawn from their immediate experiences of war. 
 
 
  
Twelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on firsthand experiences of war from women in places as diverse as Ukraine, Myanmar, Somalia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Algeria, Syria, and Northern Ireland to show how women's wars are not men's wars. With her engaging trademark style, Cynthia Enloe demonstrates how patriarchy and militarism have embedded themselves in our institutions and our personal lives. 
 
 
  
Enloe reveals how the social and political influences that shape war—from military recruitment and economic collapse to sexual assault and reproductive rights (and their denial)—are deeply gendered and pervade women's lives before, during, and in the aftermath of war. Her razor-sharp analysis, at once accessible and provocative, highlights how women's emotional and physical labor is used to support government policies and how women's rights activists—against all odds—remain committed in the midst of armed violence. Twelve Feminist Lessons of War is the gritty and grounded book we need to understand what is happening to our world.

The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising

Jack Houston

Playful, formal, satirical and tender, the poems in The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising are wildly wide-ranging. Jack Houston whisks the reader through meditations on family life, the teachings of Lucretius, the sexual potential of Captain Barnacles, and dreams of a socialist utopia, managing to be both deeply weird and touching.
In his debut pamphlet, Houston draws out and scrutinises the mundanities of life, showing how they can form part of something much bigger. His poems aim to awaken the capacity for revolution within us all, even if it only gets us as far as the roundabout in the local playpark.
"In the year 2121, we're all now too aware that a sofa is simply a bench

constructed from the hewn corpse

of a tree, covered in a mesh made from the amniotic fibres

of oppressedly mono-cropped cotton plants

& filled with the plumage

from many a murdered full-grown duck [...]"
