Die »Pille" und ihre globalen Auswirkungen. Die »Pille" veränderte die Welt. Im Osten wie im Westen entwickelte sie sich zum zentralen Symbol einer »sexuellen Revolution", stellte die überkommenen Normengefüge in Frage und die Machtverhältnisse der Geschlechter auf den Kopf - mit weitreichenden Folgen. Ihre Markteinführung Anfang der sechziger Jahre geriet zu einer fundamentalen Herausforderung: nicht nur für die Frauen und Männer auf allen Kontinenten, für ihr Sexualleben und für ihre Familienplanung. Herausgefordert fühlten sich auch die Hüter traditioneller Werte in Politik, Religion und Kultur. Manche Gesellschaften hießen das Pharmazeutikum der Moderne willkommen, andere verweigerten sich strikt.
Pocos medicamentos existen que superen en influencia social a la píldora que, desde mediados del siglo veinte, ha ayudado a redefinir el significado de la anticoncepción y de la sexualidad. Este libro estudia cómo se introdujo, se usó y se explicó, entre 1960 y 1980, en dos países sometidos a sendas dictaduras pero ambos con una fuerte influencia católica. Para ello examina, desde la historia social y cultural y la historia de género, los discursos, los debates y las prácticas generados de forma simultánea en el mercado farmacéutico, la profesión médica, los medios de comunicación y entre las mujeres usuarias, y lo hace de manera comparada entre ambos mundos. Se adentra así en una fascinante indagación sobre la memoria y sobre las ideologías y jerarquías construidas sobre la desigualdad social de las mujeres, a la vez que reivindica la agencia de estas sobre su cuerpo.

For all her wisdom as a teacher, Cyndi Lee understood intuitively that she still had a lot to learn. In spite of her success in physically demanding professions - dancer, choreographer, and yoga teacher - Lee was caught in a lifelong cycle of repetitive self-judgment about her body. Instead of the radical contentment expected in international yoga teachers, she realised that hating her body was a form of suffering, which was infecting her closest relationships - including her relationship to herself. Inspired by the honesty and vulnerability of her students, Lee embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led her outward - from the sacred sites of the parched Indian countryside to the cente...
