Literatur zur Zeit: Rebekka Endler »Witches, Bitches, It-Girls«

In the organizer's words:

Humorous, quick-witted, combative - in her new book, bestselling author Rebekka Endler dares to tackle the big question of the causes of patriarchy and examines misogynistic myths that still determine our thoughts and actions today.

In Rebekka Endler's view, the explanation "men and power" falls far too short, and so she asks: What makes so many women still dream of a Prince Charming to save them today? What is behind the wave of mommy bloggers and what function do images of women such as bitches, witches, bitches and it-girls have? By looking at canonization in art and the era of Romanticism, so-called feminist waves, cancel culture and trans hostility, she succeeds in showing that patriarchy really exists, how we all play a part in keeping it going day after day - and how it can be overcome. "Witches, Bitches, It-Girls" is an anecdotal search for clues, quick-witted, humorous, combative and full of unexpected insights. "Rebekka Endler tells [...] with irony and humor about the unquestioned injustices in everyday life between women and men."
