Rebellinnen zu Fuß - Lesung mit Anneke Lubkowitz + Konzert DENDERMONDE

In the organizer's words:

Rebels on foot: In the footsteps of eleven literary female hikers

What does the history of hiking look like when it is told by women? Anneke Lubkowitz, who herself has gone from being a stay-at-home mom to an excursionist, has set out to track down and pay tribute to her predecessors. In her research, she combines personal and cultural history and takes us on a journey of discovery through literature. In the process, she comes across a multitude of surprising stories of women who have set out on their journey and written about it: Elisa von der Recke, Sophie von La Roche, Bettina Brentano, Karoline von Günderrode, Mary Shelley, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Mathilde Franziska Anneke, Emmy Hennings, Else Lasker-Schüler, Simone de Beauvoir, Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Octavia Butler. Following in their footsteps shows that hiking is much more than just conquering landscapes. Above all, it is about female autonomy and freedom - and about the many ways in which we experience nature.

Anneke Lubkowitz, born in 1990, studied literature in Berlin and Edinburgh and wrote her doctoral thesis on nature writing. Her anthology Psychogeography was published in 2020. An avid hiker, she has published various texts about forays through Berlin and also loves to explore the area around Münster, where she now lives, on foot.
