Razors, tweezers, wax and hair removal creams: these are the tools for the initiation rites that signal the passage from girl to woman. Today the only acceptable places for a woman to have hair are on her head (preferably long), her eyebrows (not too wild) and eyelashes (not too sparse). All kinds of cosmetics are sold to achieve the desired effect of localized luxuriance. At the same time, the industry of removing hair everywhere else on the body advances relentlessly. Hair is no longer a sign of joy but a battleground of cosmetic surgery.In this short book, the Catalan writer Bel Olid draws on personal experience to dismantle preconceived ideas about the supposed benefits of waxing and shaving, and to lay bare the social penalties that are meted out to any woman who allows their body hair to grow. With clarity and courage, Bel Olid exposes the contradictions and hidden costs of hair removal, and issues a rousing call to women everywhere to set themselves free from the urge to please everyone else and to focus, instead, on what pleases them.

A woman’s life is different. This is clear when a stranger’s catcall makes her feel targeted in the street. When politicians make off-the-cuff sexist remarks. When media commentators wade in with their condemnation of free, unrestricted abortion. When a father is praised to the skies for attending parents’ evening while the mother’s attendance is taken for granted. When they fire her because she’s pregnant. When they dismiss her medical symptoms as anxiety. To counter sexism today, we need to learn the art of self-defence. Today, feminism is more alive and more necessary than ever because discrimination against women has become more subtle and difficult to detect, yet it retains its paralysing power. With combative energy and acerbic wit, Bel Olid explains the key concepts of the current feminist struggle in a smart, radical and often counterintuitive way.

Following our desires, sharing pleasure: sounds easy, right? And yet our sexualities are conditioned by expectations, prejudices and taboos that make it difficult to listen to our own bodies, let alone anyone else’s. Bel Olid clears away the taboos and invites readers to explore pathways to more connected sexualities and more pleasurable relationships. Because perhaps the first thing we need to learn about sex is to unlearn. Unlearn the desire we’ve been taught we must feel, unlearn the shame. Forget the bodies that we’ve been obliged to like, forget the behaviour presented as the only type possible. And then, with fresh eyes, look deep inside and ask ourselves what we want, what we like, what we feel like discovering. Listening to our desire, and listening to the other person too. Daring ourselves to doubt, explore, make mistakes, stop at any time. Let’s step into the ocean of possibilities.

In Wilder Winds, Bel Olid presents a stunning collection of short stories that draw on notions of individual freedom, abuses of power, ingrained social violence, life on the outskirts of society, and inevitable differences. Alongside these are small acts of kindness capable of changing the world and making it a better place. Like flowers stubbornly growing and blooming in the cracks of a pavement, Olid’s work seeks out beauty without renouncing truth, and never avoids conflict or intimacy. Wilder Winds creates scenes and fragile, yet hardy characters that will stay with the reader for years to come.

Es fascinante que un cuerpo sin pelo, fruto de un artefacto social como la depilación, se considere una muestra de feminidad innata. Sería lógico que el vello corporal, que separa la niña de la mujer, se considerase intrínsecamente femenino, incluso sexi. En cambio, hemos llegado al punto en que es todo lo contrario. La mayoría de las mujeres de nuestra sociedad afirman que se depilan porque quieren, porque se sienten más atractivas o por motivos de higiene. En cambio, no depilarte o mostrar públicamente que no te depilas suele ser una decisión política.Este libro desmonta las ideas preconcebidas sobre las supuestas bondades de la depilación y analiza la penalización social que conlleva mostrar el pelo corporal tal y como nos nace. Con los datos en la mano, veremos que la elección no es libre y que mostrar o no mostrar el pelo corporal no es una simple opción inofensiva. ¿Qué vello estamos obligadas a erradicar si queremos ser vistas como "mujeres de verdad"? ¿Qué impacto tiene sobre nuestra salud física y mental acatar las normas sociales sobre depilación? ¿Qué pasa si no podemos? ¿Y si no queremos? Bel Olid expone con claridad y valentía no solo las contradicciones de la depilación de la mujer, sino también todo lo que conlleva de sumisión social, de obediencia a unas normas de mercado exigentes y de inseguridad personal de tantas mujeres.

"Mi fantasía es una metralleta. Cuando voy por la calle y un desconocido me grita algo: metralleta. Cuando el político de turno hace el comentario machista de turno: metralleta. Cuando el obispo dice en los periódicos que cómo queremos que no nos violen, si pedimos el aborto libre y gratuito: metralleta. Cuando en la escuela se valora hasta el infinito que el padre de los críos vaya a la reunión, pero se da por supuesto que las madres irán: metralleta. Cuando me echan del trabajo porque estoy embarazada: metralleta. Cuando me dicen que no me exalte, que no es para tanto: metralleta. Podría parecer una fantasía violenta, pero no lo es; es una fantasía de autodefensa."Hoy día el feminismo está más vivo y es más necesario que nunca porque la discriminación hacia las mujeres se ha vuelto más sutil y difícil de detectar, pero mantiene su poder paralizador. Con espíritu combativo Bel Olid expone los conceptos clave de la lucha feminista actual de una manera inteligente, radical y, a menudo, sorprendente.

El desig de tenir una criatura es una forca misteriosa i pot ser un moment clau en la vida d'una persona. Projectar el futur embaras i com sera la personeta que en naixera es facil i natural. Per aixo, quan proves de quedar-te embarassada i no ho aconsegueixes, la sensacio de vergonya, de fracas i fins i tot de dol son dificils de gestionar. "e;La mare incompleta"e; omple aquest silenci que ens hem imposat com a societat, i aborda la complexitat dels processos de reproduccio assistida i el miracle que prometen. La tesi es clara: actualment no es possible prendre una decisio realment informada abans de comencar el proces. Pero lluny de plantejar-ho com un arid assaig estadistic, Bel Olid ha escrit un llibre precios i emocionant. Seguint el fil conductor del relat d'una perdua es trenen mes de cinquanta testimonis que, de fet, condensen moltes altres veus que han compartit parts de la mateixa historia. Llegir aquest llibre es tota una experiencia: et fara sentir acompanyada, et fara reflexionar i et fara valorar les promeses i els costos de la reproduccio assistida.
