Hey there. We just got to know about this documentary about female music bands (of different genres) in Argentina. The movie is from 2018, so it was done in the midst of the (still ongoing) revolutionary feminist fights in Argentina... Check it out!
We don't know the filmakers yet, but they have a facebook-site (for those of you that understand spanish).
Recently we discovered a very inspiring collection of poems in the bookshop. As the editor (suhrkamp) states: For millions of women in the US self esteem began with a poem of Maya Angelou.
An excerpt:
"You may shoot me with your words / you may cut me with your eyes / you may kill me with your hatefulness / but still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you? / does it come as a surprise / that I dance like I've got diamonds / at the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame / I rise / Up from a past that's rooted in pain / I rise / I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, / Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear / I rise / Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear / I rise / Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, / I am the dream and the hope of the slave. / I rise / I rise / I rise."
Breathtaking, don't you think?
