How to Resist Guilt
A powerful exploration of self-blame, its origins, why women are prone to it, and what we can do about it. Many of us battle a relentless inner critic, which whispers to us that we are unworthy or inadequate, whether in our role as parents, employees, or citizens of an unjust world. In How to Resist Guilt acclaimed feminist writer Mona Chollet asks why we so often succumb to these feelings and settle for a second-rate life lived under constant pressure, instead of fighting back, having the courage to say no, protecting our boundaries and living the life that we deserve.Drawing widely on popular culture and literature to expose this "enemy within," Chollet encourages us to reject the fear of not being good enough, to liberate ourselves from overwhelming duty and to enjoy the profound simplicity of just being. Delving into the insidious ways guilt is wielded as a tool by those with power and privilege, particularly against marginalized communities including women and sexual and racial minorities, she helps us to identify the source of the critical voice, question its validity, and ultimately silence it.

Reinventare l'amore
Si può essere femminista e vivere in una coppia eterosessuale? Ci hanno insegnato per secoli a inseguire un amore assoluto, a cercare 'l'altra metà' per raggiungere la completezza esistenziale, a scegliere tra la piena espressione di sé e la felicità romantica: "Reinventare l'amore" ci invita invece a liberarci delle maschere con cui il potere patriarcale ha ingabbiato questo sentimento per riappropriarci davvero, tutte e tutti, del nostro desiderio. C'è una questione, portata alla luce dal femminismo contemporaneo, che è ormai impossibile da ignorare: è raggiungibile l'emancipazione all'interno della coppia uomo-donna? Mona Chollet indaga questo tema nel profondo a partire dalle riflessioni di grandi scrittrici femministe del passato e del presente, da Simone de Beauvoir a bell hooks, da Nancy Friday a Liv Strömquist. Nel corso della sua trattazione, Chollet analizza modelli che identificano la donna in quanto fragile, devota ed eternamente disponibile, prendendo in esame prodotti culturali quali la serie "Normal People" o film come "L'amore sbagliato" e "Inception": il suo è un tentativo di 'salvare' l'amore dal controllo patriarcale dando vita a un nuovo patto relazionale basato su una reale parità, una vera libertà e un autentico rispetto reciproco. In queste pagine non c'è la volontà di cancellare la passione o di arrendersi all'impossibilità di superare l'oppressione sociale sulle dinamiche di genere. Al contrario, "Reinventare l'amore" vuole restituire alla dimensione sentimentale la complessità che merita, per farne il motore di relazioni più sane, eque e appaganti. Bisogna cambiare l'amore perché l'amore possa tornare, ancora una volta, a cambiare le nostre vite.

Lo spazio della casa. Un'odissea domestica
Siamo abituati a pensare alla casa come a un luogo di ritiro e riposo, di separazione dal mondo; a uno spazio di reclusione in cui per secoli il patriarcato ha creato e istituzionalizzato i compiti destinati al maschile e al femminile. Nello Spazio della casa Mona Chollet ci invita a ribaltare questa prospettiva: a fare delle nostre abitazioni degli spazi di libertà e liberazione. Degli spazi politici, femministi, rivoluzionari. Degli spazi collettivi. Negli ultimi decenni, nelle grandi città, avere un tetto sulla testa è sempre più complesso. Le cicliche impennate del prezzo d¿immobili e affitti hanno ormai offuscato l'idea stessa di diritto all'abitazione, facendo così perdere valore a tutto il suo immaginario e potenziale sociale. È da qui, da quell¿immaginario perduto, che comincia l'analisi di Chollet per ripensare e rinvigorire il concetto di casa: dalle meditazioni assorte di Oblomov alle architetture popolari del Rural Studio, dalla saggezza giapponese al movimento femminista che ha decostruito il mito della donna come «angelo del focolare», quest¿opera esplora lo spazio domestico in tutte le sue declinazioni e in tutte le sue possibili letture e problematicità. Cosa significa avere una proprietà? È giusto che il possesso implichi dei ruoli definiti? Esiste ancora differenza tra pubblico e privato? Possiamo immaginare un¿utopia anche all¿interno di quattro mura? ¿Lo spazio della casä ci invita a riflettere su come «abitare» non sia solo accasciarsi sul divano dopo il lavoro in un posto freddo e inospitale, ma possa diventare la creazione di un¿isola di senso in mezzo al caos della nostra esistenza. Un modo per ritrovare noi stessi in un porto sicuro, in cui far riposare e crescere le idee, i desideri e i ricordi di una vita intera.

Reinventing Love

In her new book, acclaimed French feminist Mona Chollet tackles some of these long-held and pervasive ideas that remain stumbling blocks for many women in heterosexual relationships.Drawing from popular culture, politics, and literature, Reinventing Love provides a provocative, accessible look at how heterosexual relationships can improve and evolve under a feminist lens.

In Defense of Witches
Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a "brilliant, well-documented" celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution.Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed?Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society's seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions.With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.

Wir müssen die Liebe neu erfinden
Unsere gesamte Kulturgeschichte ist durchdrungen von Darstellungen idealtypischer Paarbeziehungen, die - direkt oder unterschwellig - eine weibliche Unterlegenheit inszenieren. Es sind Bilder, die suggerieren, dass die Frau nur durch Unterwerfung romantische Erfüllung erlangen kann. Diese gesellschaftliche Konditionierung impft Frauen und Männern die Überzeugung ein, dass Männern alles zusteht, während von Frauen Selbstlosigkeit und Hingabe erwartet werden. Durch das erzwungene Leugnen eigener Interessen, Bedürfnisse und Wünsche wird das Selbstvertrauen der Frauen untergraben. Dieses Machtungleichgewicht kann in physischer und psychischer Gewalt gipfeln. Und auch was die Sexualität anbelangt, wird das Begehren weiterhin von männlichen Fantasien dominiert.Mona Chollet führt uns vor Augen, dass unsere romantischen Vorstellungen stets auf der Unterordnung der Frauen basieren. Anschaulich und präzise legt sie dar, was dies für heterosexuelle Beziehungen bedeutet.

Hexen
Die Hexenverfolgungen waren ein Krieg gegen Frauen, dessen Auswirkungen bis heute spürbar sind. Frauen, die unabhängig lebten, keine Kinder hatten oder einfach alt geworden waren, liefen zur Zeit der Renaissance Gefahr, verfolgt und verbrannt zu werden. Unser Bild von Frauen ist noch heute von negativen Stereotypen geprägt - entstanden in einer Geschichte, die ohne und gegen sie geschrieben wurde. Mona Chollet macht die Hexerei zu einer großen feministischen Metapher und die Hexe zu einem begeisternden Vorbild selbstbestimmter Weiblichkeit. Mit über 200.000 verkauften Exemplaren wurde »Hexen« in Frankreich zum Bestseller.
