Rebekka Endler: Witches, Bitches, It-Girls

In the organizer's words:

How patriarchal myths still shape us today

Patriarchy is not a myth. In her new book, bestselling author Rebekka Endler sets out in search of the causes of patriarchy and explores the misogynistic myths that still shape our thoughts and actions today.

Witches, Bitches, It-Girls is an anecdotal search for clues that leads us through the long history of mankind. Rebekka Endler looks into the engine room of patriarchy, examines canonization in art, the era of Romanticism, so-called normality and feminist waves, cancel culture and trans hostility - and asks: What makes so many women today still dream of a Prince Charming? Why do so-called tradwives promote a life as a housewife and mother? What is behind the wave of mommy bloggers and what function do images of women such as witches, bitches and it-girls have?

Rebekka Endler shows in a humorous, quick-witted and combative way how we all keep the patriarchy going day after day - and how we can still change it if we understand and attack the system behind it.

Rebekka Endler works as a freelance author, journalist and podcaster. Her first book was published in 2021, Das Patriarchat der Dinge. Why the world doesn't suit women.
