Travelling as a tourist, she also gained access to some of the world’s most impenetrable places like China, Tibet and Burma. During her 40-year-long career she witnessed the worst atrocities inflicted on women across the world. But in observing first-hand the war on the female race she also documented their incredible determination to fight back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'The War on Women' brings to life the inconceivable and dangerous life Sue led. It tells the story of orphan Mary Merritt who, age sixteen, instead of being released from the care of nuns was interned by them in a Magdalen Laundry and forced to work twelve hours a day six days a week, without pay, for over a decade. She gives voice to Maimouna, the woman responsible for taking over her mother’s role as the village female circumciser in The Gambia and provides a platform for the 11-year-old Manemma, who was married off in Jaipur at the age of six. From the gender pay gap in Britain to forced marriage in Kashmir and from rape as a weapon of war to honour killings, Sue has examined humankind’s history and takes us on a journey to analyse the state of women’s lives today. Most importantly she acts as a mouthpiece for the brave ones; the ones who challenge wrongdoing; the ones who show courage no matter how afraid they are; the ones who are combatting violence across the globe; the ones who are fighting back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSue sadly died in 2015, shortly after writing this book, today she is widely recognised as one of the most acclaimed television journalists of her generation. This book is the small tribute to the full and incredible life she lived and through it these women’s voices are still being heard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peace and Release HK Bookstore 中東伊斯蘭文化雜貨店","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040221266022,"sku":null,"price":209.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6125\/4246\/files\/IMG_6584.jpg?v=1755968522"},{"product_id":"the-sex-lives-of-african-women-self-discovery-freedom-and-healing","title":"The Sex Lives of African Women: Self Discovery, Freedom, and Healing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn these confessional pages, women control their own bodies and desires, work toward healing their painful pasts, and learn to assert their sexual power.

Global networks have formed “anti–gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous, perhaps diabolical, threat to families, local cultures, civilization―and even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWho’s Afraid of Gender?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and trans-exclusionary feminists. In their vital, courageous new book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWho’s Afraid of Gender?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements and to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless―a book whose verve and rigor only they could deliver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peace and Release HK Bookstore 中東伊斯蘭文化雜貨店","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45390784233574,"sku":null,"price":182.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6125\/4246\/files\/IMG_4019.jpg?v=1775818826"}],"url":"https:\/\/peaceandreleasehkbookstore.myshopify.com\/collections\/feminism.oembed","provider":"Peace and Release HK Bookstore 中東伊斯蘭文化雜貨店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
