On Women, Love, Writing, and her “Corpo felice”: An Interview with Dacia Maraini

"This is not a novel, but an autobiographical book that originates from the very painful memory of a child that I lost when I was seven months pregnant. But this work is also an opportunity to talk about maternity, as I imagine a relationship with a son that grows and matures through the years. I have seen many of my friends’ children grow older and rebel against their parents--some got lost in this process, but others returned and recovered. So this book is a journey inside the mother and son relationship. It starts from a personal circumstance but then tries to expand the question by pondering on discourses that touch upon history, mythology and education."

Women’s Day 2019, Guterres: “Gender Equality Essential to Global Progress”

The MeToo Movement Must Embrace All Women, also the Displaced Ones

After all, the global humanitarian crisis we currently face -- with 65 million people, the greatest number since WWII, displaced around the world -- is deeply gendered. Despite making up an historic 80 percent of that figure, women and girls are among those at greatest risk of paying for conflict and disaster with their lives

And When God Spoke, They Listened: A Reflection on Loss

Loss is not something unfamiliar to those in the countries I visited, especially in Niger. Loss is an everyday occurrence with its difficult feelings, unreliable outbursts, and harrowing birthmarks. Loss is as uncontrollable as the desert.

Leaders in the US: How Long Before There Is a Woman in the White House?

March 8 is an important date to reflect on why the United States never had a woman as their Commander in Chief. One pundit suggested that if the US has not elected a woman president yet, it certainly isn’t for women’s lack of trying. On the other hand, another opined that the US has failed to produce a female president because “only one remotely serious woman has run for this position.”
