Description
According to the German law, women and men have had equal rights for over 70 years. But is that really the case? Who mainly takes care of the house and children? Who is less likely to make it into management despite equal training and experience? Who still falls through the cracks, linguistically and medically? Women*. They are the survivors of a system that half of humanity simply forgets. Where stereotypical gender roles and sexism have brought us is shown by the eternal discussions about the gender pay gap and the question
of care work. This book is a feminist survey - sometimes amusing, mostly hair-raising. Michaela Leitner illustrates in informative as well as tongue-in-cheek illustrations a huge injustice in the middle of our society.
*Gender categories are diverse and move beyond the binary of ›woman - man‹. In this book, the term ›woman‹ refers to individuals who identify wholly or partially as women, are read as women, and/or have been social- ized as women.

Author Biography
Michaela Leitner studied communication design and transformation design at the University of Augsburg. For years, she has been dealing with the topic of equality and the question of how she, as a designer, can help this topic gain more attention in everyday life. Whether through text, illustration, graphics, lettering or sometimes (bad) humor and sarcasm - to achieve this goal almost any means are fine with her.
When Michaela is not illustrating, giving workshops or getting angry about injustice, she is busy with architecture, letters and modern calligraphy, drinking black tea with cream or going to flea markets.
