Revolution has a female face: Shila Behjat's lively reportage shows what the world can learn from the courage of women - a call for feminism of strength!

From Iran to Belarus, from Fridays for Future to the great debates on discrimination - revolutions and processes of social change today often have a female face. Based on the courageous women in Iran, the award-winning journalist Shila Behjat examines the special features of female protest. From conversations with the leaders of the movements, a lively reportage emerges that shows: Even under the most adverse circumstances, women are no longer just victims, but protagonists of history. Has the female age long since dawned?
