Black women have been balancing the competing demands of work and home since before women even won the right to vote. But black voices are barely acknowledged in the mainstream "mommy wars" dialogue. Lonnae O'Neal Parker is determined to change that, in this uncommonly smart, highly acclaimed, and often witty examination—part memoir, part reportage—of how today's black women meet the challenges of marriage, motherhood, and work.

C'est d'épouses, fiancées et copines dont il est question dans ce livre... Madame Elvis Presley, Madame Joseph Staline, Madame Jackson Pollock et plein d'autres. Réunies par un seul et même destin : être les victimes d'hommes incapables de se comporter de façon normale et raisonnable avec leur partenaire. Qui étaient vraiment ces femmes et comment leur désir de vivre un amour romantique a pu pourrir à un tel point toute leur existence ? Page après page, Liv Strömquist lance ses flèches empoisonnées contre l'ordre patriarcal. Elle en explore dans les moindres recoins les dispositifs de domination sans oublier de donner au passage, toujours avec l'humour cinglant et la légèreté qui sont les siennes, des réponses à des questions telles : Qui étaient les pires boyfriends de l'Histoire ? Pourquoi Ingmar Bergman a cru bon féconder toutes les femmes qu'en Suède avaient des ambitions artistiques ? Pourquoi l'archange Gabriel a appelé les femmes des "putains" ? Pourquoi tous les enfants sont-ils des conservateurs bien de droite ? Et pourquoi les hommes qui plus défendent les valeurs de la famille nucléaire (à l'instar d'un certain Pape), ne vivent jamais dans des familles nucléaires ? En s'appuyant sur des références qui vont de la sitcom "Friends" à la biographie de Staline de Simon Sebag Montefiore, Liv Strömquist poursuit avec intelligence et finesse sa critique sans concessions des valeurs masculines qui dominent la société contemporaine.

Women write about their experiences of loving music that doesn’t love them back – a feminist 'guilty pleasures'.e - a kind of feminist guilty pleasures. In the majority of mainstream writing and discussions on music, women appear purely in relation to men as muses, groupies or fangirls, with our own experiences, ideas and arguments dismissed or ignored. But this hasn’t stopped generations of women from loving, being moved by and critically appreciating music, even – and sometimes especially – when we feel we shouldn’t. Under My Thumb: Songs that Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them is a study of misogyny in music through the eyes of women. It brings together stories from journalists, critics, musicians and fans about artists or songs we love (or used to love) despite their questionable or troubling gender politics, and looks at how these issues interact with race, class and sexuality. As much celebration as critique, this collection explores the joys, tensions, contradictions and complexities of women loving music – however that music may feel about them. Featuring: murder ballads, country, metal, hip hop, emo, indie, Phil Spector, David Bowie, Guns N’ Roses, 2Pac, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, AC/DC, Elvis Costello, Jarvis Cocker, Kanye West, Swans, Eminem, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Combichrist and many more.
