        Black is capitalised

        by Evein Obulor/RosaMag

        The Black Lives Matter movement has shaken up society and set changes in motion. Also in Germany. But Black FLINTA* (female, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, agender) living in Germany often do not find themselves and their own stories reflected. What their reality in this country looks like and what aims and visions of the future they dream of, tell intimate and blunt 20 Black FLINTA. In their texts, they break with stereotypes, call for a rethink and create a space for their own identities. With essays by Grimme Online nominee Ciani-Sophia Hoeder, bestseller author Alice Hasters, German afro movement icon Katharina Oguntoye and many more. With illustrations by young art talent Sharonda Quainoo.

        Sei stolz, eine Frau zu sein

        Eine Anleitung für Mütter und Töchter mit inspirierenden Übungen und Ritualen, die Raum schaffen, Weiblichkeit in ihrer Vielfalt lustvoll zu feiern

        by Martina Spierings

        Selbstliebe ist die Superpower, die Frauen befähigt, mit Siebenmeilenschritten in ein stolzes und selbstbestimmtes Frausein voller Lebensfreude zu gehen. Davon ist Martina Spierings, systemische Therapeutin in der Frauenberatung und Mutter von zwei Töchtern im Teenageralter, überzeugt. In einer Zeit, in der Menstruationsblut noch immer mit Scham behaftet ist, will ihr Buch Mütter und Töchter ermutigen, dem eigenen Körper und den mit dem Frauwerden verbundenen Veränderungen wertschätzend und selbstliebend zu begegnen. Sie setzt in ihrem Lebensentwurf dabei auf Eigenermächtigung anstatt auf „Macht über Andere“. Machen wir uns also das Geschenk, uns auf uns selbst zu besinnen, damit wir unseren Töchtern auf dem Weg durch die stürmischen Wasser der Pubertät stärkend zur Seite stehen können. Leben wir eine stolze Weiblichkeit vor und wie sich diese mit inspirierenden Übungen und Ritualen lustvoll entdecken lässt.

        Of sexisms, gender gaps and other absurdities

        by Michaela Leitner

        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 questionof 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.

        The Reason We Remain

        by Marlen Pelny

        This novel begins with the murder of 14-year-old Etty – and ends with it, too. Just the way that for Heide, Etty’s mother, life is over to a certain extent but, at the same time, beginning again anew. Because: it’s governed by a new rhythm. From now on, Heide will always be half composed of her missing daughter. From now on, her existence will centre on the question of how to go on living. How to get out of bed each day. How to go on living in the apartment that was also Etty’s home. How to remember her laugh, her cheeky answers, her delicate facial features without falling apart. The people Heide can rely on for support are her closest friends. And us. With impressive precision, Marlen Pelny portrays violence where it actually happens: in our immediate vicinity. Writing with clarity but not voyeurism, unsparingly yet not brutally, she tells a finely drawn, complex story of loss and solidarity, of grief and love – of an aftermath. In the end, we are united. In the end, we are many. In the end, this novel is a linguistically powerful revolt: against fatal injustices. Against the violence we encounter on a daily basis and which we try to survive.
