Franziska Schutzbach: "Revolution of solidarity"

Sociologist and non-fiction author Franziska Schutzbach uses numerous captivating examples from the past and present to show how women have made revolutions possible through their relationships despite division and difference. How they loosened patriarchal structures in everyday life and politics because they allied and became friends. She describes what is possible when women orient themselves towards other women. But it also shows how difficult it is. Because the division of women is one of the foundations of patriarchal power. Women should orient themselves towards men, not each other. They are supposed to align themselves with sexist standards and male favor. They are supposed to cooperate with oppressive systems instead of rebelling against them together.

Unity and harmony are not a matter of course among women, there are cracks and differences, we find disagreements, loss of solidarity and the exercise of power. And a great lack of time. The book also gets to the bottom of these challenges.

"Here and now, women can begin to detach their orientation from the male world and counter traditional patterns such as hierarchy and competition with their longing for cooperation and friendship." Franziska Schutzbach

A passionate plea for empowering, encouraging female relationships.
