内容简介：
金智英，1982年4月1日出生于首尔某医院妇产科。成长于公务员家庭，一家六口人住在三十三平的房子里。
她就是那种你每天都会迎面遇到的普通女孩。
从小，金智英就有很多困惑。
家里最好的东西总是优先给弟弟，她和姐姐只能享有剩下的食物，共用一间房、一床被子。上小学时，被邻座男孩欺负，她哭着向老师倾诉，老师却笑着说：“男孩子都是这样的，愈是喜欢的女生就愈会欺负她。”上了中学，常要提地铁、公交车上的咸猪手。在学校也不能掉以轻心，也有男老师喜欢对女同学动手动脚。可她们往往选择忍气吞声。大学毕业，进入一家公关公司。她发现虽然女同事居多，高管却几乎都是男性。下班不得不去应酬，忍受客户的黄色笑话和无休止地劝酒。三十一岁结了婚，不久就在长辈的催促下有了孩子。在众人“顺理成章”的期待下，她辞掉工作，成为一名全职母亲。
金智英感觉自己彷彿站在迷宫的中央，明明一直都在脚踏实地找寻出口，却发现怎么都走不到道路的尽头。

《我的天才女友》是埃莱娜·费兰特“那不勒斯四部曲”的第一部，讲述了两个女主人公莉拉和埃莱娜的少女时代。故事一开始，已经功成名就的埃莱娜接到莉拉儿子里诺的电话，说他母亲彻底消失了。埃莱娜想起莉拉对自己命运的预言，于是她写下她们一生的故事……

莉拉和埃莱娜一起成长于那不勒斯一个破败的社区，从小形影不离，彼此信赖，但又都视对方为自己隐秘的镜子，暗暗角力。

莉拉聪明，漂亮。她可以毫不畏惧地和欺凌自己的男生对质，也可以去找人人惧怕的阿奇勒﹒卡拉奇要回被他夺走的玩具；埃莱娜既羡慕莉拉的学习天赋和超人的决断力，又一直暗暗模仿莉拉。

家人不支持莉拉继续求学，因此她到父亲和兄长苦苦维持的修鞋店帮工，又面临几个纨绔子弟的追求。埃莱娜则怀着对朋友的关爱、嫉妒和理解，独自继续学业，却始终无法面对和莉拉竞争的失落。

最终，十六岁的莉拉决定嫁给肉食店老板，但在婚宴上，她发现了丈夫的背叛。而埃莱娜也站在成人世界的入口，既为前途担忧，也因对思想前卫的尼诺产生朦胧好感而彷徨。

奥芙弗雷德是基列共和国的一名使女。她是这个国家中为数不多能够生育的女性之一，被分配到没有后代的指挥官家庭，帮助他们生育子嗣。和这个国家里的其他女性一样，她没有行动的自由，被剥夺了财产、工作和阅读的权利。除了某些特殊的日子，使女们每天只被允许结伴外出一次购物，她们的一举一 动都受到“眼目”的监视。更糟糕的是，在这个疯狂的世界里，人类不仅要面对生态恶化、经济危机等问题，还陷入了相互敌视、等级分化和肆意杀戮的混乱局面。女性并非这场浩劫中唯一被压迫的对象，每个人都是这个看似荒诞的世界里的受害者。

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching meditation on the nature of friendship. The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as their paths repeatedly diverge and converge, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected and refracted in the other. They are likewise the embodiments of a nation undergoing momentous change. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her protagonists, the unforgettable Elena and Lila. Ferrante is the author of three previous works of critically acclaimed fiction: The Days of Abandonment, Troubling Love, and The Lost Daughter. With this novel, the first in a quartet, she proves herself to be one of Italy’s great storytellers. She has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative details and characterizations, that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win new readers to her fiction.

新手妈妈里沙子，被选为了一名陪审员，接受审判的是一名杀害幼女的“恶母”。随着庭审的深入，里沙子却发现被告和自己是如此相似……
为了育儿放弃职业生涯，却因此失去了最后一点属于自己的空间；再多的辛苦都被认为是理所应当，丈夫帮忙再少都会被外界赞扬；育儿中有无数的疑问和困难，却只会被敷衍“大家都是这么过来的”。
里沙子开始怀疑：“是不是每个母亲，都有可能因为这些遭遇，变为被告席上的嫌犯？”

揭露丧偶式育儿困局，探究女性生存真相。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
郝景芳 —— 作家
现代社会往往鼓励母亲、赞扬母亲，却鲜少有人看到并理解女性的孤独和倦怠。家庭内部的日常琐碎而繁复，社会的压力无形而持续，而这些本不该由她们独自背负。
侯虹斌 —— 媒体人、作家
虽然说的是日本的故事，但是，中国女性仍然心有戚戚。水穗和里沙子这样的人生，表面光鲜漂亮，实则压抑、窒息、绝望，无从逃脱。年轻妈妈们需要被看见、被理解、被接纳。
库索 —— 旅日作家、媒体人
现代社会把“母亲”和“妻子”默认为一种义务劳动，普通女性想要摆脱这两个标签的束缚而拥有自己的生活，是一件非常困难的事情。比起社会环境的不宽容，让女性更为崩溃的是家庭和职场的不兼容。
张怡微 —— 作家、学者
《坡道上的家》带着平实的情感和真诚的困惑提醒年轻女性，人生目标的设定、亲密关系的沟通、自我教育的准备不应只做到婚前为止。生活的考验静水流深，幸福的旅程是漫长的上坡路。
顾湘 —— 作家、画家
生活真是又苦又累啊。为什么不能叫苦叫累呢？哪怕是叫一叫，或者只是听见同样的别人叫一叫，心里也会好过不少，才能够继续活下去吧。有时候听不见别人的声音，自己也叫不出声，就在寂静里面坏掉了。
戴潍娜 —— 作家、诗人
世上没有天生的母亲。那些犹疑的笔触所带出的，婚姻和育儿生活中难于澄清，却无处不在的微妙的“不公感”，令人毛骨悚然。
匡匡 —— 作家、日文译者
这部小说不是什么恶母的故事，是所有女性从同类的苦难中照见和救赎自身的洞口。

《给一个未出生孩子的信》是一本社会历史、真诚忏悔与虚构故事的混合物，是作者“刻骨铭心的情感经历这颗精子”和“想象力这颗卵子”天然受孕的结果。
它的主题不仅涉及文学史上从未接触过的内容— 一个未婚母亲与她腹中胎儿的一段旷世未有的缠绵恋情，而且涉及作者对人类生与死、爱与恨的深刻怀疑与痛苦思索。无论从哪方面说，这本书都是法拉奇的不朽之作。

The second book, following 2012’s acclaimed My Brilliant Friend, featuring the two friends Lila and Elena. The two protagonists are now in their twenties. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila. Meanwhile, Elena continues her journey of self-discovery. The two young women share a complex and evolving bond that brings them close at times, and drives them apart at others. Each vacillates between hurtful disregard and profound love for the other. With this complicated and meticulously portrayed friendship at the center of their emotional lives, the two girls mature into women, paying the sometimes cruel price that this passage exacts.

Soon to be an HBO series, book three in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, “one of the great novelists of our time.” (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times)
In the third book in the Neapolitan quartet, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.
Ferrante is one of the world’s great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.

关于男女平等，她说——

作为一个网红和一位基层女性代表，她正在做着一件渺小又伟大的事——
替那些失语的基层女性发声。
因为一条讲述基层女性婚姻困境的短视频，作者从此常驻新浪热搜。在视频中，她用开公司的比喻，讲述了在当下的生育福利制度下，女性应该如何更好地保护自己。王慧玲制作了一系列视频，阐述自己的婚恋观点，内容涉及原生家庭、恋爱生育、强弱势关系，以及约会文化、穿衣自由等等，几乎每一条视频内容都引发了热烈的关注和讨论。
本书脱胎于这一系列短视频，紧紧围绕当下性别权益的热门议题展开，通过原生家庭、自我成长、两性关系三个主题，论述女性要如何摆脱环境与观念的束缚，正确对待恋爱与婚姻，成为一个精神、物质双独立的女性。
作者将讲述对象界定为精神、物质双不独立的女性人群。这一选择的原因有二：第一，在作者看来，难以独立的基层女性，在当下婚姻制度中处于弱势地位，她们遇到的困境，既有其独特性，也有之于全体女性而言的普遍性；第二，作者自己的人生就是一个逃离基层女性命运的故事，她为此感到庆幸，也希望能鼓励更多女性逃离困境，把握命运，成为独立的自己。

Following her bestselling, critically acclaimed The Silence of the Girls, Pat Barker continues her extraordinary retelling of one of our greatest myths.
'Taut, masterly, wholly absorbing. Still one of the greatest stories ever written. A book that will be read in generations to come' Daily Telegraph on The Silence of the Girls
Troy has fallen. The Greeks have won their bitter war. They can return home as victors, loaded with their spoils: their stolen gold, stolen weapons, stolen women. All they need is a good wind to lift their sails.
But the wind does not come. The gods have been offended - the body of Trojan king Priam lies desecrated, unburied - and so the victors remain in limbo, camped in the shadow of the city they destroyed, pacing at the edge of an unobliging sea. And, in these empty, restless days, the hierarchies that held them together begin to fray, old feuds resurface and new suspicions fester.
Amidst her squabbling captors, Briseis -- now married to Alcimus, but carrying the child of the late Achilles -- must forge alliances where she can: with young, dangerously naïve Amina, with defiant, aged Hecuba, and with wild-eyed Cassandra, the unheeded seer. And so begins the path to a kind of revenge. Briseis has survived the Trojan War, but peacetime may turn out to be even more dangerous...

《女性主义》是李银河40年女性主义研究精华。基于对中西方社会学理论的研究，基于对中国进行了多年的的田野调查和社会观察。
李银河在这本《女性主义》中，对女性主义理论、女性主义运动、女性主义流派、女性主义论争和女性主义之后的思潮进行了条分缕析的梳理。综观这些理论，有些激烈如火，有些平静如水，有些主张做决死抗争，有些认可退让妥协。归根结底就是一句话：在全人类实现男女平等。
如果你想要了解女性主义却不知道从何着手，李银河老师这本书可以为你建构一个坚实的理论框架。

本书是一本讲述女性历史人物的传记作品，选取了12位在历史上具有影响力的杰出女性领袖，展现她们拥有的勇气与智慧，揭示她们面对的困难与挑战。伊丽莎白一世和梅厄夫人是老练的政治家，娴熟地运用外交手段削弱自己的敌人；布狄卡和满都海是勇敢的战士，像男人一样在战场上冲杀；埃及艳后和卡泰丽娜·斯福尔扎是阴谋的策划者，假他人之手实现自己的目标。从古波斯的炎热沙漠到中世纪一望无垠的中亚草原，再到现代南大西洋的荒凉群岛，历史上最有权势的女性或隐于幕后制定完美的战略，或浴血前线施展绝妙的战术，她们拥有不同的肤色、年龄和领导风格，但对于她们的敌人，却同样危险而致命。本书作者从历史典籍中还原她们的性情，倾听她们的声音，重现属于她们的传奇。

这是一部女性健康科普著作，图书出版后在德国医学界和科普界收获了一致盛赞，长踞《明镜》周刊畅销榜，领衔了各大健康百科及女性健康图书榜单。
这是一部温情的女性身体启蒙著作。许多女性对自己身体所持的态度是不确定的，甚至是否定的，特别是对生殖器官，提及时总带有羞耻感。其实，子宫、乳房、卵巢、生理期，它们存在于世界上半数人的体内，它们与生命密切相连，它们的健康直接决定了女性的生命质量，因此，它们是应当“被看见”、“被了解”的。如果足够了解，有很多痛苦，女性原本可以不必承受。
在认知身体的旅途中，女性将意识到，很多心理的变化和情绪的起伏，都是由体内的荷尔蒙所掌控的，对荷尔蒙系统的深入认知，能够帮助我们理解抵御衰老和守护健康的准则。而所有的知识储备升级，都将带领我们，找到更加广阔的那个自己。
本书作者是拥有超过30年科研及临床经验的畅销科普作家希拉•德利兹博士。她在德国屡次受邀参加电视台和广播电台的健康节目录制，被誉为“人们理想中的妇科医生”。她以带领女性冲破禁忌与成见为使命，希望帮助所有女性积极大方地探索自己无与伦比的身体。在这部书中，所有照本宣科都是被禁止的，这里的女性健康通识课，会如同“网飞”（Netflix）剧集一般引人入胜，情节扣人心弦。

在东京尽情享受大学生活的川尻笙，某天父亲突然到访，告知他30多年前失踪的松子姑姑*近在东京被人杀害了。负责整理姑姑遗物的笙，开始调查松子的一生。

她的一生，是荒诞的一生，是失败的一生，却也是不放弃希望的一生，是认真活过的一生。

《始于极限》是女性主义先驱上野千鹤子与人气作家铃木凉美历时一年的通信。

The story is written in the first person as a series of journal entries, the narrator a woman whose physician husband has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house he has rented for the summer. She is forbidden from working, and has to hide her journal entries from him, so she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency," a diagnosis common to women in that period. The windows of the room are barred, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, allowing her husband to control her access to the rest of the house.
The story depicts the effect of confinement on the narrator's mental health, and her descent into psychosis. With nothing to stimulate her, she becomes obsessed by the pattern and color of the wallpaper. "It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw — not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things. But there is something else about that paper—the smell! ... The only thing I can think of that it is like is the color of the paper! A yellow smell."
In the end, she imagines there are women creeping around behind the patterns of the wallpaper, and comes to believe that she is one of them. She locks herself in the room, now the only place she feels safe, refusing to leave when the summer rental is up. "For outside you have to creep on the ground, and everything is green instead of yellow. But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way."

With a foreword by Athene Donald, Professor of Experimental Physics, University of Cambridge and Master of Churchill College.Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines their remarkable achievements.These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women their science and their lives were driven by personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. What drove these remarkable women to cure previously incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for their pioneering achievements - Madame Curie, twice - others were not and, even if they had, many are not household names.Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women, in a variety of ways, has made the world a better place.AstronomyHenrietta Leavitt (United States of America) (1868-1921) - discovered the period-luminosity relation(ship) for Cepheid variable stars, which enabled us to measure the size of our Galaxy and the Universe.PhysicsLise Meitner (Austria) (1878-1968) - fled Nazi Germany in 1938, taking with her the experimental results which showed that she and Otto Hahn had split the nucleus and discovered nuclear fission. Chien-Shiung Wu (United States of America) (1912-1997) - Chinese-American who disproved one of the most accepted 'laws of nature', that not all processes can be mirrored. She showed that the 'law of parity', the idea that a left-spinning and right-spinning sub-atomic particle would behave identically, was wrong.ChemistryMarie Curie (France) (1867-1934) - the only person in history to have won Nobel prizes in two different fields of science.
