No hace mucho, nadie podía imaginarse que una latina de veintiocho años se postulase para el Congreso en representación de Queens y el Bronx: era necesario enfrentarse a la maquinaria política de la ciudad, casi exclusivamente blanca y exclusivamente masculina.

De var den første generation af kvinder, der fik eget job og løncheck, et fag og en karriere. De blev antropolog, kunsthistoriker, skuespiller, forfatter, fagforeningsleder, terapeut og politiker, og det kom til at forme deres liv og give det et indhold, som generationerne før dem kun kunne drømme om. Hvordan er det nu, hvor de er fyldt 70, at være i udkanten af arbejdslivet og sige farvel til faget, magten, indflydelsen? Og siger de overhovedet farvel? Blev det hele, som de drømte om, og hvilke råd vil de give videre til generationerne efter dem?

Katja Lewina hat Bock, und sie schreibt darüber. Wäre sie ein Mann, wäre das kein Ding. So aber ist sie: "Schlampe", "Nutte", "Fotze", "Hoe"... Seit #metoo werden die Rufe nach der potenten Frau laut und lauter.

The No Club started when four women, crushed by endless to-do lists, banded together to get their work lives under control. Working harder than ever, they still trailed behind their male colleagues. And so, they vowed to say no to requests that pulled them away from the work that mattered most to their careers. Their over-a-decade-long journey and subsequent, groundbreaking research reveals that women everywhere are unfairly burdened with “non-promotable work,” a tremendous problem we can—and must—solve.

Plötzlich sind alle Feminist*innen. Bloß kann von echter Gleichberechtigung keine Rede sein. Warum wirken überholte Strukturen fort? Zur Antwort betrachtet Ann-Kristin Tlusty wie durch ein Brennglas die Zwänge, die das Leben von Frauen auch heute prägen: Noch immer wird ihnen abverlangt, sanft die Sorgen und Bedürfnisse der Gesellschaft aufzufangen. Jederzeit sollen sie dabei auf süße Weise sexuell verfügbar erscheinen, gern auch unter feministischem Vorzeichen. Und bei alldem angenehm zart niemals zu viel Mündigkeit beanspruchen.

Watching identity politics become social media fodder from the confines of her sickbed Ione began to pick apart our obsession with self-care, personal branding, productivity and #LivingYourBestLife.
