Grandmothering
Contemporary grandmothers are often marginalized from extended family life because social institutions and grandmothers themselves do not understand that they could be vital for working parents, for overactive children, for suicidal youth, indeed for many of the problems of modern grandchildren. The genetics and hormones of older women have designed them to be vital family members, with patience and perspective that come with age and experience. In addition, biology helps directly via menopause. The grandmother hypothesis explains that human women, unlike almost any other living creature, experience decades of life after menopause, in order to make grandmothers available to their descendants...

Somos Latinas
Twenty-five Latina agents of change share their inspirational stories. Celebrated Latina civil rights activist Dolores Huerta once said, “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” These are the stories of some of the Latina activists from Wisconsin who have lived Huerta’s words. Somos Latinas shares the powerful narratives of 25 activists—from outspoken demonstrators to collaborative community-builders to determined individuals working for change behind the scenes—providing proof of the long-standing legacy of Latina activism throughout Wisconsin. Somos Latinas draws on activist interviews conducted as part of the Somos Latinas Digital History Project, housed at the Wisconsin Historical Society, and looks deep into the life and passion of each woman. Though Latinas have a rich history of community activism in the state and throughout the country, their stories often go uncelebrated. Somos Latinas is essential reading for scholars, historians, activists, and anyone curious about how everyday citizens can effect change in their communities.
The Time Has Come
“For too long the struggle for the rights of women and girls was seen as women’s business. Of course, it’s equally men’s business and stops being such a struggle when it’s seen that way. This reframing gives us a chance to understand violence against women as deeply toxic for us all.” —Phumzile Mlambo–Ngcuka, UN Under–Secretary–General and Executive Director of UN Women The Time Has Come explores how a patriarchal culture that has given power to men comes at a huge cost to women, children, and, surprisingly, to men as well. It details how very achievable changes in our workplaces, in the ways we raise boys to be men, and in the movement to end men’s violence will bring ...

Allions-nous
Michael Kaufman œuvre depuis près de quarante ans auprès des hommes pour susciter leur engagement envers les luttes entreprises de longue date par les femmes en vue d’atteindre l’égalité des sexes. Selon Kaufman, le temps est venu pour les hommes de devenir des alliés de la révolution en cours, et d’y contribuer par leurs réflexions et leurs actions. Dans cet essai percutant, Kaufman explique comment une culture patriarcale basée sur une masculinité toxique affecte les femmes, les enfants, et les hommes eux-mêmes. Et surtout, il démontre comment des changements très réalisables sur nos lieux de travail et dans la manière dont nous éduquons les garçons pourraient aider à créer un monde égalitaire. À travers des anecdotes personnelles et des observations issues de décennies consacrées à la lutte contre la violence basée sur le genre, Michael Kaufman offre ici une réflexion inspirante, empreinte d’humour et de compassion, pour bâtir une société plus aimante et enrichissante pour tous et toutes.
Creierul matern. Cum rescriu neuroștiințele povestea parentalității
Ce înseamnă să devii mamă? Cu siguranță, experiența fiecărei persoane este diferită și este modelată chiar de la început de circumstanțe proprii. Depinde dacă vorbim de o sarcină planificată sau nu, de zbuciumul care însoțește așteptarea până la momentul descoperirii ei sau, dimpotrivă, de panica unei sarcini nedorite. Contează și dacă e dusă la termen alături de un partener sau în lipsa unuia, dacă e concepută datorită unui donator, dar și dacă necesită asistență permanentă sau evoluează fără nicio dificultate. Dar parentalitatea – în general – și maternitatea – în special – sunt adesea privite ca ceva extrem de personal. O mamă este sacr...
Mother Brain
Health and science journalist Chelsea Conaboy explodes the concept of “maternal instinct” and tells a new story about what it means to become a parent. Conaboy expected things to change with the birth of her child. What she didn’t expect was how different she would feel. But she would soon discover what was behind this: her changing brain. Though Conaboy was prepared for the endless dirty diapers, the sleepless nights, and the joy of holding her newborn, she did not anticipate this shift in self, as deep as it was disorienting. Mother Brain is a groundbreaking exploration of the parental brain that untangles insidious myths from complicated realities. New parents undergo major structur...
Positive Psychology in Racial and Ethnic Groups
Positive psychology has become a vibrant, well-regarded field of study, and a powerful tool for clinicians. But, for many years, the research in areas relevant to positive psychology, such as happiness, subjective well-being, and emotional intelligence, has been based on findings from largely White samples and has rarely taken the concerns of the ethnic community into consideration. Now, for the first time, leaders in the field have come together to provide a comprehensive reference that focuses specifically on how a culturally-informed approach to positive psychology can help capitalize on the strengths of racial minority groups and have a greater potential to positively impact their psycho...
