Meike Stoverock ist Biologin, Autorin, und Feministin! Sie erzählt in diesem Interview vom Prinzip der "Female Choice", das man bei den meisten Tierarten findet. "Female Choice" bedeutet, dass die Weibchen einer Art sich ihre Sexualpartner aussuchen. Folgt man Meikes Argumentation, dann trifft das auch auf die Spezies Mensch zu.Die biologische Erklärung für das PatriarchatEigentlich. Denn weil bei diesem Prinzip der Partnerwahl viele Männchen übrig bleiben und keine Partnerin finden (wenn sie denn heterosexuell sind), kann bei den Männchen einer Art, in der das Female Choice Prinzip gilt, sexuelle Frustration entstehen, die sich oft auch in Aggression äußert. Und Menschenmännchen, so Meike, sind davon nicht ausgenommen. Sie erklärt so die Entstehung der Unterdrückung und Kontrolle der weiblichen Sexualität - kurz: Das Patriarchat.Einlassen auf ein GedankenexperimentWer jetzt denkt: Okay, krass biologistisch! - den oder die möchte ich ermuntern, sich auf das Gespräch einzulassen, es als Gedankenexperiment zu sehen. Ich verspreche: Es lohnt sich! Denn mit der Hypothese der Female Choice betrachtet, ergeben die letzten Jahrtausende Menschheitsgeschichte, in der Frauen ihrer Rechte beraubt, in das Haus und die heterosexuelle Ehe gezwungen und teils bei Todesstrafe für Ausbruch aus diesem System bestraft wurden, ein schlüssiges Bild. Man kann damit viel erklären, das ansonsten ungeheuerlich wirkt. Wohlgemerkt: Erklären, nicht entschuldigen!Und viel mehr noch: Wir bekommen eine Chance uns selbst besser zu verstehen und in Zukunft besser miteinander zu leben. Gerechter. Und freier.Anzeige: Das neue Buch "Miss Kim weiß bescheid" von Cho Nam-Joo versammelt die Leben von acht koreanischen Frauen im Alter von 10 und 80 Jahren.

Why listen to Alexandra Pringle? Because Richard Charkin told me that she's the best editor in the English speaking world, that's why.   Alexandra was editor-in-chief at Bloomsbury Publishing for more than two decades. She was recently appointed Executive Publisher.    She began her publishing career at the British magazine Art Monthly before joining the women's publisher Virago in 1978. She became Editorial Director in 1984, and moved to Hamish Hamilton in 1991 to undertake the same role. Through much of the 1990s she was a literary agent for, among others, Amanda Foreman, Geoff Dyer, Maggie O'Farrell and Ali Smith. She joined Bloomsbury in 1999 as head of the adult publishing division where her authors included Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sheila Hancock, Anne Michaels, Ann Patchett, George Saunders and Richard Ford. Among other things we talk about editing's "what if" conversations, about houseboats, socialism, building confidence, Harry Potter, tempering criticism, teasing, instinct, luck, and yes, arm-hair.     Note to Listener: My apologies. The Zoom connection was poor on this one. But what Alexandra has to say is delightful and informative, so I hope you'll agree with me that it's worth putting up with. I plan to interview her again. In person. With a good microphone. On her houseboat. 

Donna intelligente, estremamente scaltra e dotata di un forte carisma legato ad una cultura sopraffine. Circondata da intellettuali e letterati, teneva uno dei salotti più in voga a Londra, in cui si dettavano le mode per l'intera società. Un'icona che sminuirebbe non poco moltissime influencer di oggi. Una donna da cui prendere esempio ma che gli scandali della sua vita privata nei successivi anni estremamente bigotti, ne hanno ingiustamente offuscato l'importanza. È giunta l'ora di far risplendere nuovamente la luce di Georgiana Spencer e la sua storia.

Written in the tradition of historians like Stacy Schiff and Amanda Foreman who find modern lessons in ancient history, this provocative narrative explores the lives of five remarkable pharaohs who ruled Egypt with absolute power, shining a new light on the country's 3,000-year empire and its meaning today.In a new era when democracies around the world are threatened or crumbling, best-selling author Kara Cooney turns to five ancient Egyptian pharaohs--Khufu, Senwosret III, Akenhaten, Ramses II, and Taharqa--to understand why many so often give up power to the few, and what it can mean for our future.As the first centralized political power on earth, the pharaohs and their process of divine kingship can tell us a lot about the world's politics, past and present. Every animal-headed god, every monumental temple, every pyramid, every tomb, offers extraordinary insight into a culture that combined deeply held religious beliefs with uniquely human schemes to justify a system in which one ruled over many.From Khufu, the man who built the Great Pyramid at Giza as testament to his authoritarian reign, and Taharqa, the last true pharaoh who worked to make Egypt great again, we discover a clear lens into understanding how power was earned, controlled, and manipulated in ancient times. And in mining the past, Cooney uncovers the reason why societies have so willingly chosen a dictator over democracy, time and time again.KARA COONEY is Professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture at UCLA and chair of its Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. Her academic work focuses on death preparations, social competition, and gender studies. She appeared as a lead expert in the popular Discovery Channel special "The Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen" and produced and wrote Discovery's Out of Egypt. The author of When Women Ruled the World (2018) and The Woman Who Would be King (2014), Cooney lives in Los Angeles, CA.

Gail, Hazel and host Philippa enter the world of second-hand bookselling with Chris Saunders of Henry Sotheran’s, the world’s oldest antiquarian bookshop. From folios to quartos, half-binding to cockling, foxing to forgery, they tackle trade terminology and share tales of rarities and curiosities. The conversation ranges far and wide in the typical Slightly Foxed manner – from Parisian romances and the libraries of English country houses to outsized ornithological specimens and books of unusual provenance. In this month’s wander through the magazine’s archives Nigel Anthony recounts the tale of a bookseller’s quest for bibliophilic bliss in a sleepy corner of the Cotswolds, and there’s the usual round-up of recommended reading from off the beaten track.

The second-bloodiest riot in the history of New York was touched off by a dispute between two Shakespearean actors. Their supporters started a brawl that killed as many as 30 people and changed the institution of theater in American society. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Astor Place riot, "one of the strangest episodes in dramatic history." We'll also fertilize a forest and puzzle over some left-handed light bulbs. Intro: In 1968, mathematician Dietrich Braess found that installing a traffic shortcut can actually lengthen the average journey. What key is "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" written in?

I want to get him a book he’ll enjoy about American history but would love some recs for female authors or native voices. Right now, he is really into revolutionary war time biographies as well as books about native culture in early America. He doesn’t read fiction (but maybe a bomb historical fiction that’s hyper truth-based?). I want to gently open his eyes to diverse writers (without spooking him like a baby deer). Thanks so much! and love from PHILLY!!! -Stephanie   2. Hi, Amanda and Jenn! I listen to your show every week, and my TBR list keeps growing. But, here I am, with a request all the same. I recently read Helen Macdonald’s H is for Hawk, and I couldn’t put it down. It was a new experience because I don’t usually read a lot of nonfiction or memoirs. And it’s something I want to change about my reading life. I’m a teacher and scholar, so I often read many academic texts and essays for work. And, when I have time to read something for pleasure, I gravitate more toward fiction, something with a driving plot that keeps drawing me in. I also have trouble reading memoirs because many feel inauthentic to me, or I just simply can’t relate (e.g. Eat, Pray, Love). So, how very surprising that I would fall in love with a book that was, in part, about falconry. Specifically, I loved the beauty of the book, its language, and the descriptions of nature. I also related to the author’s authentic and open description of her grief after losing her father. But, it also had a driving plot that drew me in again and again. Surely, there are other memoirs and nonfiction titles that can cure my book hangover and fill a very large gap in my reading list. Thanks in advance for the help! -Kelli   3. Hey Amanda and Jen! I recently started watching and fell in love with the new Hulu show ‘The Path.’ I also recently listened to Leah Remini’s ‘Troublemaker’ memoir on audio and I’ve found myself really interested in reading more about cults. I’m open to memoir, nonfiction, or fiction books that examine the nature of cults and either living in them or escaping from them. Thanks for the suggestions! -Jackie   4. I’ve been watching The Ascent of Woman on Netflix, and now I’m just dying to read some nonfiction books about women in history. I want some history books about kick ass women in history, and you two seem like the people to ask. I have a particular fascination with ancient history, and the Middle Ages, so if you guys know of any books about those times it would be great. Otherwise I’m fine with pretty much any time, as long as it’s not too modern. Basically the older the better. (P.S. I’ve already read Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff, and Romantic Outlaws by Charlotte Gordon, and The Peabody Sisters by Megan Marshall is on my TBR list.) -Donna   5. Hi! I love your podcast and was happy you moved from biweekly to weekly productions. I’m looking for nonfiction recommendations. I’m a writer and tend toward creative nonfiction, but I have trouble to find nonfiction that I find as enjoyable and interesting as I find fiction. Some books that I have enjoyed are Lucy Grealy’s Autobiography of a Face, Ann Patchett’s Truth and Beauty, Mindy Kaling’s memoirs, and Sloane Crosley’s essays (interestingly, I did not enjoy her novel as much as her nonfiction). Do you have any other rec’s for a fiction reader and nonfiction writer? Thanks! -Taryn   6. I’m pretty fascinated by serial killers and would like book recommendations about either real serial killers or fictional. I recently read The Girls (and didn’t realize it was about the Charles Manson group until afterwards- face palm). I liked the book and am looking for more like that. There are so many nonfiction books about serial killers that aren’t well written, I think mostly because they are written by newspaper columnists who wrote about the story at the time in the news and then crammed all the articles into a book, lacking flow. Major bonus points: I read a book about serial killers about 10 years ago, it was a conglomeration of nonfiction short stories about serial killers and their background, basically how they became serial killers (their childhood, abuse they faced, etc) but, for the life of me, I cannot find that book again, if you can find it that would be amazing. THANKS! -Tracey   7. Whenever I hear about a new feminist essay collection or memoir, I get really excited, run out to get the book, and then am crushingly disappointed. I don’t quite understand why I’m so often disappointed by these books, but it’s definitely a recurring problem – and it’s very frustrating! I love the IDEA of the books and always start out so optimistic, but it seems like the essay and memoir formats just don’t work for me. Can you recommend some feminist reading that is NOT a memoir or essay collection? Either fiction or nonfiction is fine. -Heidi   Books Discussed These Truths by Jill Lepore A World On Fire by Amanda Foreman (rec’d by Liberty) The Cooking Gene by Michael W.

In London on May 22nd 1846, the great anti-slavery campaigner and orator Frederick Douglass - who himself was a former slave – stood before a large audience and related to them the reasons why he was there:  “Why do I not confine my efforts to the United States? My answer first, that slavery is the common enemy of mankind and it should be made acquainted with its abominable character. Slavery is a system of wrong, so blinding to all around, so hardening to the heart, so corrupting to the morals, so deleterious to religion, so sapping to all the principles of justice, in its immediate vicinity, that the community surrounding it lacks the moral stamina necessary to its removal. It is a system of such gigantic evils, so strong, so overwhelming in its power, that no one nation is equal to its removal. I want the slaveholder surrounded, by a wall of anti-slavery fire, so that he may see the condemnation of himself and his system glaring down in letters of light. I want him to feel that he has no sympathy in England, Scotland, and Ireland, that he has none in Canada, none in Mexico, none among the poor wild Indians…” On this episode of American History Too! we're joined by University College London's Matt Griffin (@mattrgriffin) to explore the fascinating who, what, and why of trans-Atlantic anti-slavery campaigns in the mid-nineteenth century.

Award-winning historian Dr. Amanda Foreman argues that a history that pushes women to the margins is an untruth that must be challenged. To this end, she created the four-part documentary series "The Ascent of Woman" with the BBC.

Writer and historian Dr Amanda Foreman takes a personal journey through the musical history of Britain, introducing works which have inspired her over the years and which reflect different aspects of what it is to be British. Foreman is the author of the award-winning best sellers, 'Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire' (1999) and 'A World on Fire: A Epic History of Two Nations Divided (2011), and is seen and heard frequently on TV and radio history programmes. Having lived in the UK and the United States, Foreman has both an inside and outside view of Britain and the music which defines it. In her varied choice, she introduces works such as the Medieval "Agincourt Carol", pieces by Byrd and John Bull which entertained women in the Tudor Court, as well as evocative musical portrayals of the 20th century English and Scottish landscapes by Elgar and Hamish MacCunn. 2016 sees the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, and in amongst Foreman's choices are works inspired by his writing, including Judith Weir's "Storm" with texts from "The Tempest", incidental music from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Mendelssohn and Henry Bishop's "Lo! Here the lark" from his music for "The Comedy of Errors". Other music includes works by Henry Wood, Ethel Smyth, Thomas Weelkes, Henry Purcell, William Walton and Hubert Parry. Producer Helen Garrison.

Anne-Marie Slaughter is the Washington power player who upset the feminist applecart. At the peak of her career — as first female Director of Policy Planning at the US State Department — she turned her back on her dream job with Hillary Clinton in order to spend more time with her teenage sons. How, cried her contemporaries, could she have sacrificed her high-powered career for her family? Slaughter’s ensuing article for The Atlantic, ‘Why Women Still Can’t Have It All’, went viral, sparking furious debate about how men and women juggle their working lives. Having it all, Slaughter argued, remained a mirage. Women who managed to be both mothers and top professionals were either ‘superhuman, rich or self-employed’. On January 26, Anne-Marie Slaughter came to the Intelligence Squared stage, together with Amanda Foreman, award-winning historian and presenter of the recent BBC documentary series The Ascent of Woman, which charts the role of women in society over 10,000 years. They were joined by... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss biography which sells more books now than ever before; last year people in this country spent 115 million pounds on 12 and a half million copies of biographies. And it’s not just in Britain that life stories are popular; the United States Library of Congress found recently that in the previous six months more people had read a biography than any other kind of book. But what drives this fascination in the lives of others; lives which have often long since passed. Why do the literary studies of often long dead characters make such popular books? And what is the role of the biographer who provides that account? Truthful chronicler, or inevitably biased re-inventor?With Richard Holmes, writer, biographer and the author of Sidetracks:Explorations of a Romantic Biographer; Nigel Hamilton, biographer, Director of the British Institute of Biography and Professor of Biography, De Montfort University, Leicester; Amanda Foreman, biographer of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.
