Wenn du geredet hättest, Desdemona

There are many speeches of famous men known. Did women have nothing to say? Or was it simply not handed down what they had to say? Christine Brückner does not let this injustice of cultural history rest, she gives a voice to legendary female figures from literature, myth and history. The result is an eloquent choir of strong women: sometimes angry and rebellious, sometimes melancholy and tender. Fourteen texts of furious power and moral strength. When Christine Brückner's "indignant speeches of indignant women" first appeared in 1983, they became an overwhelming surprise success. The collection of fictional monologues has not only been translated into numerous languages, but is still one of the most frequently performed contemporary plays. Now it is finally available again, in a beautiful gift edition - for all disgruntled readers.
