Lesung "Schwestern" mit Julia Korbik

Schöneberg MP Wiebke Neumann invites you to a reading with author Julia Korbik from her latest work "Schwestern".

Sisterhood is powerful! The exploration of a political principle

Whether #metoo or the protests in Iran, there have been numerous occasions in recent years when women have stood up for each other. It's a principle that was already propagated by feminists in the 1970s - it's not for nothing that one of their most famous slogans was: Sisterhood is powerful! But sisterhood is more than networking, more than female solidarity. It is a political practice. Julia Korbik examines the principle of sisterhood, wants to understand what it can look like - and what prevents it. She questions the feminism of recent years and explores this topic in an inspiring, nuanced and curious way using personal anecdotes and examples from literature, pop culture, history and society.
