¿Qué te viene a la mente cuando oyes el término “ama de casa”? Aunque algunos piensen en dedicación y valores familiares, en nuestra cultura hay muchas ideas negativas sobre las mujeres que dedican su tiempo a cuidar de sus hijos y de su hogar. Inculta, aburrida y poco ambiciosa son algunas, y más recientemente, el término “tradwife”. Aunque esta palabra describe técnicamente a las mujeres que promueven un estilo de vida “tradicional” en las redes sociales, “tradwife” se ha convertido en la práctica en una etiqueta despectiva utilizada ampliamente para cualquier mujer que se dedique a tiempo completo a las tareas del hogar. Un libro publicado a principios de este mes, The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids-and Come Back Stronger Than Ever, de Neha Ruch, aborda directamente esta dinámica. Desafía los tópicos de una madre “en casa” y explora el pensamiento simplista que persiste obstinadamente en torno a la maternidad y la carrera profesional.

We all aspire to live a full, successful and balanced life. However, on many occasions we feel disoriented and confused about what decision to make in an increasingly uncertain and complex environment, we do not know what attitude to take or the certainties we had are blurred. Three books approach this subject from complementary perspectives, connected by a clear common thread: the aspiration to integrate life in all its dimensions. Each work offers a unique vision, forming an itinerary of reflection and practice that guides the reader in his or her search for a successful and fulfilled life.

For a long time, we asked female leaders to act… like men. For a long time, the only women that managed to reach key positions were the pioneers, who opened and led the way with a machete (yes, I’m talking about the jungle of companies) and who only had men as models. So, to feel accepted in this very masculine world, they replicated their behaviors on their colleagues.
And when women started becoming models for the new generation, it was no surprise that they had a management style that was… masculine.
I’m writing these things because I’ve been there myself!

One addiction that is becoming more normalized is viewing pornography, defined as “sexually explicit videos, images, or writing with the intent to cause sexual arousal in its viewers.” Creating pornography is a huge billion-dollar industry. This is troubling because pornography is increasingly impacting children and youth in negative ways. With technology and the internet as a crucial and necessary part of life, pornography has never been more easily accessible to children: 93% of boys and 63% of girls report being exposed to internet pornography before the age of 18, with the average age of first exposure being 12 years old.

Actress, singer, politician and convinced Europeanist, Maria Amalia Merkouri was born in Athens in 1920, according to some biographies, and five years later according to others (she never wanted to clear up any doubts). She was born into an aristocratic and politically involved family. Her grandfather was mayor of Athens and her father and uncle were members of parliament.
