Our bodies, their battlefields : war through the lives of women / by Lamb, Christina,author.;
Includes bibliographical resources and index."In Our Bodies, Their Battlefields, longtime intrepid war correspondent Christina Lamb makes us witness to the lives of women in wartime. An award-winning war correspondent for twenty-five years (she's never had a female editor) Lamb reports two wars-the "bang-bang" war and the story of how the people behind the lines live and survive. At the same time, since men usually act as the fighters, women are rarely interviewed about their experience of wartime, other than as grieving widows and mothers, though their experience is markedly different from that of the men involved in battle. Lamb chronicles extraordinary tragedy and challenges in the lives of women in wartime. And none is more devastating than the increase of the use of rape as a weapon of war. Visiting warzones including the Congo, Rwanda, Nigeria, Bosnia, and Iraq, and spending time with the Rohingya fleeing Myanmar, she records the harrowing stories of survivors, from Yazidi girls kept as sex slaves by ISIS fighters and the beekeeper risking his life to rescue them; to the thousands of schoolgirls abducted across northern Nigeria by Boko Haram, to the Congolese gynecologist who stitches up more rape victims than anyone on earth. Told as a journey, and structured by country, Our Bodies, Their Battlefields gives these women voice."--Amazon.

Nobody ever asked me about the girls : women, music, and fame / by Robinson, Lisa(Music journalist),author.;
"From the effects of fame on family and vice versa to motherhood and drugs, sex, and romance, Lisa Robinson has discussed every taboo topic with nearly every significant living female artist to pass through the pages of Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. Here, her interviews with and observations of fabulous female pop and rock stars, from Tina Turner and Alanis Morrissette to Rihanna, show how these powerhouse women, all with vastly different life experiences, fell in love with music, seized their ambitions, and changed pop culture. Grouped by topic, ranging from hair and makeup to sexual and emotional abuse, Robinson's interviews reveal each individual artist's sense of humor, private hopes, and personal devastations-along with the grit and fire that brought each woman to the stage in the first place and empowered her to leave her mark on the world"--

Want : women's fantasies in the twenty-first century / by Anderson, Gillian,1968-editor.;
"A raw, revelatory, and inclusive exploration of women's sexual fantasies, Want is a collection of anonymous letters written by women across the world, curated by the legendary Gillian Anderson. I wonder so many things and I would give anything to know if someone else has these same thoughts, solely so I can know I'm not alone. As women, we know that sex is about more than just sex. It always has been. When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, identity and community, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet for many reasons -- perhaps shame, guilt, embarrassment, insecurity, social and cultural expectations to name a few -- so many of us don't talk about it. Our deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key. In this generation-defining book, Gillian Anderson compiles the anonymous letters of hundreds of women to reveal their varied fantasies and how women today really think about sex. From fear and frustrations to BDSM and polyamory, together their stories produce an expansive, inclusive portrait of sexuality in the twenty-first century. The result is an essential and fascinating exploration of not only the broad desires of women, but what it means to be a woman today."--
