That's What She Said. by Sutherland, Natasha,film director.; Gravel Road Africa (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Gravel Road Africa in 2023.After writing Brutal Legacy, a memoir about abusive relationships with men in her past, Tracy Going offers up her story to be scrutinized by a random group of men in the present. They watch her account as it is displayed in a theatre production adaptation of her book. The film documents this process and the frank discussions that follow the performance, offering a unique social dialogue to bring an important message across as a relatable film without diminishing the abused, or men/women in general. In a conscientious manner, it gives an opportunity for men to be heard on a huge, often polarising, social issue.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Theatre Girls. by Pollack, Claire,film director.; Longinotto, Kim,film director.; Royal Anthropological Institute (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Royal Anthropological Institute in 1979.The “Theatre Girls Club” is a hostel for homeless, destitute and alcoholic women in Soho, London. It is run by six paid workers and it is the only hostel in London which takes any women at any time. The filmmakers lived in the hostel for more than two months, establishing an extraordinary level of trust with their “cast” —from the home’s feisty cook to an elderly resident who was a terminal alcoholic. In what will later be recognized as a signature style, Longinotto films without judgement and finds the humor and humanity in situations and characters that might otherwise be seen as tragic.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Listening in the dark : women reclaiming the power of intuition / by Tamblyn, Amber,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references.For generations, women have been taught to ignore their intuitive intelligence, whether in their personal lives or professional ones, in favor of making logical, evidence-based decisions. But what if that small voice or deeper knowing was our greatest gift, an untapped power we could use to affect positive change? Edited by author, activist, and actress Amber Tamblyn, Listening in the Dark is a compilation of some of today's most striking women visionaries across industries-in literature, science, art, education, medicine, and politics-who share their experiences engaging with their own inner wisdom in pivotal, crossroad moments. Filled with deeply personal and revelatory essays, Listening in the Dark will empower readers to reconnect with their own unique intuitive process, to see it as the precious resource it is, and to be unafraid to listen to all that it has to say and all that it has to offer.

The stronger sex : what science tells us about the power of the female body / by Vartan, Starre,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A myth-busting vindication of women's physical strengths. For decades, Starre Vartan -- like most women -- was told that having a woman's body meant being weaker than men. Like many women, she mostly believed it. Following a half decade of research into the newest science, Vartan shows in The Stronger Sex that women's bodies are incredibly powerful, flexible, and resilient in ways men's bodies aren't. Tossing aside the narrow notion of a fully ripped man as the measure of strength, Vartan reveals the ways that women surpass men in endurance, flexibility, immunity, pain tolerance, and the ultimate test of any human body: longevity. In interviews with dozens of researchers from biology, anthropology, physiology, and sports science, plus in-depth conversations with runners, swimmers, wrestlers, woodchoppers, thru-hikers, firefighters, and more, The Stronger Sex squashes outdated ideas about women's bodies. It's a celebration of female strength that doesn't argue "down with men" but "up with us all""--
