Frauen und Revolution - Lesung mit Shila Behjat

In the organizer's words:

The question of what it means to be a woman in today's society is a complex and presuppositional one: the experience of inequality and lack of social participation cannot be viewed in isolation, but is the result of several overlapping multiple discriminations based on different social categories - for example, the role as a woman and political activist. We therefore want to approach the question of what it means to be a woman in society and in the present from the perspective of intersectionality.

The book "Women and Revolution" by Shila Behjat looks at female revolutions. From Iran to Belarus, from Fridays for Future to the major debates on discrimination - revolutions and processes of social change today often have a female face. Starting with the courageous women in Iran, Shila Behjat examines the special features of female protest. From conversations with the leaders of the movements, a lively reportage emerges that shows: Even under the most adverse circumstances, women are no longer just victims, but protagonists of history.
