Feminist fast and easy

Feminists deal with nonsense like letting women in the door. Women should have children. You should have just said no. These are just a few of the many remarks that everyone encounters sooner or later during conversations about feminism. It is tiresome to say the least to constantly put together arguments and offer a different perspective. Sociologists Lucie Jarkovská and Kateřina Lišková, aka Duo docents, have therefore written a book that will can save you time and energy in this fight. It offers witty and pertinent contributions to debates with family and friends that will help you stay on top of things and perhaps even offer you new food for thought. You will read, for example, about the flip side of romantic love, that study materials from primary school to university are far from gender balanced, or that not every compliment is actually a compliment. The book is accompanied by illustrations and comic strips based on the authors' designs by artist Leny Vítková. A handbook of arguments for debates with family and friends. Lucie Jarkovská and Kateřina Lišková started performing as Duo Associate Professors in 2019, when they first popularized feminism and research on gender and sexuality through stand-up. But they have been working together for many years: co-founded the gender studies department at the Faculty of Social Studies at Masaryk University and since the 1990s have been active in organizations advocating for women's, minority and environmental rights. Lucie works at the Institute of Inclusive Education Research at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk University. She also works as a lecturer in gender sensitive education and sex education. She is the author of Gender in front of the blackboard and Ethnic Diversity at School. She has contributed to the children's book Drops on Stone. 50 stories of Czech and Slovak rebels. Her articles are published not only in Czech and foreign professional journals, but also in the media, e.g. a2larm.cz or Heroine. Kateřina works at the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences, where she leads an international team researching knowledge about women's and children's health under socialism. Her research on sexuality and gender in communist Czechoslovakia has resulted in a number of publications in English that have won international awards. The documentary series Chronicle of Orgasm, based on Katerina's book, which you can read in Czech under the title The Politics of Desire, is available on iBroadcast CT.
