Einige Herren sagten etwas dazu. Benefizlesung und Gespräch mit Nicole Seifert

In the organizer's words:

In addition to well-known names such as Ingeborg Bachmann and Ilse Aichinger, many other female authors were part of the legendary meetings of Group 47, but their voices have often been forgotten. Nicole Seifert sheds light on the lives and creative paths of these overlooked women writers, who were often only perceived as attractive companions to male authors. Seifert brings these women of the post-war period to life, makes their work and influence visible and invites us to look at German literary history from a different perspective. "So far, no portrayal has done justice to the women and their works, so Seifert, who for her part does not leave out Böll, Johnson, Enzensberger & Co, is doing pioneering work here" (Berliner Morgenpost).

At the event, donations will be collected for the "Projektgruppe Margaretenhütte e. V.", which supports the concerns of women in Giessen in numerous projects.

Nicole Seifert (*1972) has a doctorate in literature, is a publisher, translator and author. She is committed to the rediscovery of female authors of the 20th century and with FrauenLiteratur - Abgewertet, vergessen, wiederentdeckt (2021) she opened a broad debate on female writing.
