Mujeres que reclaman su derecho a trabajar en un mundo de hombres, valientes guerreras indias, forajidas del Oeste americano, inmigrantes sin pelos en la lengua, heroínas atrapadas en tenebrosos bosques… Estas son algunas de las protagonistas de La nueva mujer: relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX.

La nueva mujer reúne a diez escritoras que, después de haberse forjado una carrera a la sombra de un canon literario eminentemente masculino, brillan ahora con más fuerza que nunca gracias a la riqueza y diversidad de unos relatos que reflejan desde múltiples perspectivas la realidad de la condición femenina en un tiempo marcado por profundas transformaciones políticas y sociales. Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sui Sin Far, Zitkala-Ša, Susan Glaspell, Harriet E.

Las mujeres blancas de clase media alta han sido las únicas que han ocupado durante mucho tiempo el lugar de «expertas» en feminismo. Han presidido organizaciones feministas multinacionales y han escrito gran parte de lo que consideramos el canon feminista, propugnando la liberación y la satisfacción sexual, la inclusión LGBTQ y la solidaridad racial, todo mientras marcan el lenguaje del movimiento mismo y la agenda de objetivos a cumplir. Una feminista blanca es aquella que se niega a aceptar el papel que la blanquitud y el privilegio racial que lleva aparejado han desempeñado y siguen desempeñando en la universalización de las inquietudes y las convicciones de las feministas blancas como las del feminismo en su totalidad. Este ensayo, escrito por la abogada y periodista pakistaní Rafia Zakaria, señala a través de ejemplos concretos la complicidad perversa que ha existido entre el imperialismo, el capitalismo y el feminismo blanco, y mira hacia nuevos horizontes libres de racismo. En palabras de Esther (Mayoko) Ortega Arjonilla, prologuista: «El libro de Zakaria es una obra punzante. […] Zakaria realiza un brillante ejercicio de análisis de la blanquitud feminista y su racismo, y deja una puerta abierta al diálogo, la conversación y el encuentro». Con traducción de Matilde Pérez.

The Odyssey - Homer - This is Alexander Pope's translation of The Odyssey; one of the oldest existing works of literature, and one of two epic poems attributed to Homer. It follows Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats - shipwrecks, battles, monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea-god Poseidon - Odysseus must test his bravery and native cunning to the full if he is to reach his homeland safely. But even there, in his absence he has been assumed dead and a group of unruly suitors are competing for his wife's (Penelope) hand in marriage. The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences. As with the Iliad, the poem is divided into 24 books. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War. After the war itself, which lasted ten years, his journey lasted for ten additional years, during which time he encountered many perils and all his crew mates were killed. In his absence, Odysseus was assumed dead, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus had to contend with a group of unruly suitors who were competing for Penelope's hand in marriage. The Odyssey was originally composed in Homeric Greek in around the 8th or 7th century BCE and, by the mid-6th century BCE, had become part of the Greek literary canon. In antiquity, Homer's authorship of the poem was not questioned, but contemporary scholarship predominantly assumes that the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed independently, and the stories themselves formed as part of a long oral tradition. Given widespread illiteracy, the poem was performed by an aoidos or rhapsode, and more likely to be heard than read. Crucial themes in the poem include the ideas of nostos, wandering, xenia ("guest-friendship"), testing, and omens. Scholars still reflect on the narrative significance of certain groups in the poem, such as women and slaves, who have a more prominent role in the epic than in many other works of ancient literature. This focus is especially remarkable when considered beside the Iliad, which centres the exploits of soldiers and kings during the Trojan War. The Odyssey is regarded as one of the most significant works of the Western canon. The first English translation of the Odyssey was in the 16th century. Adaptations and re-imaginings continue to be produced across a wide variety of mediums. In 2018, when BBC Culture polled experts around the world to find literature's most enduring narrative, the Odyssey topped the list.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona - William Shakespeare - The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1589 and 1593. It is considered by some to be Shakespeare's first play,[a] and is often seen as showing his first tentative steps in laying out some of the themes and motifs with which he would later deal in more detail; for example, it is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. The play deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity, the conflict between friendship and love, and the foolish behaviour of people in love. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed. As the play begins, Valentine is preparing to leave Verona for Milan so as to broaden his horizons. He begs his best friend, Proteus, to come with him, but Proteus is in love with Julia, and refuses to leave. Disappointed, Valentine bids Proteus farewell and goes on alone. Meanwhile, Julia is discussing Proteus with her maid, Lucetta, who tells Julia that she thinks Proteus is fond of her. Julia, however, acts coyly, embarrassed to admit that she likes him. Lucetta then produces a letter; she will not say who gave it to her, but teases Julia that it was Valentine's servant, Speed, who brought it from Proteus. Julia, still unwilling to reveal her love in front of Lucetta, angrily tears up the letter. She sends Lucetta away, but then, realising her own rashness, she picks up the fragments of the letter and kisses them, trying to piece them back together. Meanwhile, Proteus' father has decided that Proteus should travel to Milan and join Valentine. He orders that Proteus must leave the next day, prompting a tearful farewell with Julia, to whom Proteus swears eternal love. The two exchange rings and vows and Proteus promises to return as soon as he can. In Milan, Proteus finds Valentine in love with the Duke's daughter, Silvia. Despite being in love with Julia, Proteus falls instantly in love with Silvia and vows to win her. Unaware of Proteus' feelings, Valentine tells him the Duke wants Silvia to marry the foppish but wealthy Thurio, against her wishes. Because the Duke suspects that his daughter and Valentine are in love, he locks her nightly in a tower, to which he keeps the only key. However, Valentine tells Proteus that he plans to free her by means of a corded ladder, and together, they will elope. Proteus immediately informs the Duke, who subsequently captures and banishes Valentine. While wandering outside Milan, Valentine runs afoul of a band of outlaws, who claim they are also exiled gentlemen. Valentine lies, saying he was banished for killing a man in a fair fight, and the outlaws elect him their leader.
