Niemand hat die Absicht, ein Matriarchat zu errichten
Geballte humoristische Frauenpower! Frauen sind komisch. Aber auch im Sinne von lustig? In dieser Anthologie beweisen 33 Meisterinnen ihres Faches, dass es den typisch »weiblichen Humor« gar nicht gibt, sondern Dutzende Spielarten. Geschichten, Kolumnen, Reportagen, Gedichte und Cartoons – von hintersinnig bis voll auf die Zwölf. Neben Abhandlungen über die großen gesellschaftlichen Themen wie Alpaka-Wanderungen, neue Erkenntnisse auf dem Gebiet des Kampftrinkens sowie runde Geburtstage von klumpfüßigen Kultmäusen findet die geneigte Leser*innenschaft hier auch endlich Antworten auf die wirklich wichtigen Fragen: Wie verschicke ich ein Babyjäckchen? Was kostet die Schweiz? Wie vie...
Es kann nur eine geben
»Ich will den Finger in die Wunde legen!« Carolin Kebekus über Frauen an der Spitze. Eigentlich klingt es ganz leicht: Frau ist begabt und klug, also kann sie es schaffen, ganz nach oben zu kommen. Aber oft genug ist der eine Platz schon besetzt, es scheint nämlich ein höchst dämliches Gesetz zu geben, das lautet: Eine Frau reicht, mehr brauchen wir nicht. Die große Komikerin, Sängerin, Schauspielerin und Feministin schreibt pointiert, unmissverständlich und gleichzeitig wahnsinnig komisch, dass die Zeit überreif ist, alte (Männer-)Gesetze auf den Müll zu werfen. Wohin man auch schaut, immer ist es die eine Frau, die sich durchsetzt. In der Bibel ist es die jungfräuliche Maria, ...

The Book of Dreams
From the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop, comes a delightful, offbeat, charming and bittersweet tale about the distance one man will travel for the sake of love and friendship.

Tim – The Official Biography of Avicii
The intimate biography of the iconic DJ who was lost too soon. Tim Bergling was a musical visionary who, through his sense for melodies, came to define the era when Swedish and European house music took over the world. But Tim Bergling was also an introverted and fragile young man who was forced to grow up at an inhumanly fast pace. After a series of emergencies resulting in hospital stays, he stopped touring in the summer of 2016. Barely two years later, he took his own life. Tim - The Biography of Avicii is written by the award-winning journalist Måns Mosesson, who through interviews with Tim's family, friends and colleagues in the music business, has intimately gotten to know the star producer. The book paints an honest picture of Tim and his search in life, not shying from the difficulties that he struggled with.
King Kong Theory
With humor, rage, and confessional detail, Virginie Despentes—in her own words “more King Kong than Kate Moss”—delivers a highly charged account of women’s lives today. She explodes common attitudes about sex and gender, and shows how modern beauty myths are ripe for rebelling against. Using her own experiences of rape, prostitution, and working in the porn industry as a jumping-off point, she creates a new space for all those who can’t or won’t obey the rules.
The Stories of Heinrich Böll
Contains 63 stories and novellas by one of Germany's greatest writers.
Dead Funny
In Nazi Germany, telling jokes about Hitler could get you killed Hitler and Göring are standing on top of the Berlin radio tower. Hitler says he wants to do something to put a smile on the Berliners’ faces. Göring says, “Why don’t you jump?” When a woman told this joke in Germany in 1943, she was arrested by the Nazis and sentenced to death by guillotine—it didn’t matter that her husband was a good German soldier who died in battle. In this groundbreaking work of history, Rudolph Herzog takes up such stories to show how widespread humor was during the Third Reich. It’s a fascinating and frightening history: from the suppression of the anti-Nazi cabaret scene of the 1930s, to ...
Sexual Politics
A sensation upon its publication in 1970, Sexual Politics documents the subjugation of women in great literature and art. Kate Millett's analysis targets four revered authors—D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet—and builds a damning profile of literature's patriarchal myths and their extension into psychology, philosophy, and politics. Her eloquence and popular examples taught a generation to recognize inequities masquerading as nature and proved the value of feminist critique in all facets of life. This new edition features the scholar Catharine A. MacKinnon and the New Yorker correspondent Rebecca Mead on the importance of Millett's work to challenging the complacency that sidelines feminism.
