Lesung mit Lea Joy Friedel

On November 20, Lea Joy Friedel will visit us at 8 p.m. in the BUCHBOX! in Kastanienallee and read from her book "Too Much! What it costs to be a woman". The evening will be hosted by Matilde Keizer.

Money, energy, time, power - more is demanded of women. A trenchant analysis that shows how things could be fairer.

Women earn less and pay more: for products and services marketed specifically for women, for menstruation and contraception, for childbirth and for care work. But that is by no means all. Patriarchal structures demand other additional costs from women: Time, influence, energy. This imbalance must be rectified.

Lea Joy Friedel analyzes social conditions with razor-sharp wit and humor, telling of pitfalls, successes and the backlash. She wipes the dust off the structures and shows what is needed for a fair division of labor and a just society for all.
