This "hilarious and honest" bestselling memoir from a rising comedy star tackles issues of gender, sexuality, feminism, and the Catholic childhood that prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian (Abby Wambach).Cameron Esposito wanted to be a priest and ended up a stand-up comic. Now she would like to tell the whole queer as hell story. Her story. Not the sidebar to a straight person's rebirth-she doesn't give a makeover or plan a wedding or get a couple back together. This isn't a queer tragedy. She doesn't die at the end of this book, having finally decided to kiss the girl. It's the sexy, honest, bumpy, and triumphant dyke's tale her younger, wasn't-allowed-to-watch-Ellen self needed to read. Because there was a long time when she thought she wouldn't make it. Not as a comic, but as a human. SAVE YOURSELF is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasn't in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if you're, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was). Packed with heart, humor, and cringeworthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty, fallen in love, started a career, or had period sex in Rome can relate to, Cameron's memoir is for that timid, fenced-in kid in all of us-and the fearless stand-up yearning to break free.

Nées en Italie dans les années 1940, Silvia Federici et Mariarosa Dalla Costa sont des militantes pionnières et des intellectuelles féministes de premier plan. Dans ces entretiens avec Louise Toupin, elles reviennent sur le mouvement qu’elles ont cofondé en 1972, le Collectif féministe international, qui fut à l’origine d’une revendication radicale et controversée au sein du féminisme, celle de la rémunération du travail domestique. À partir de ce riche terreau, elles racontent comment s’est développée leur pensée au fil du temps, et formulent une critique intersectionnelle du capitalisme néolibéral, depuis la notion de crise de la reproduction sociale.
