Brief an ein nie geborenes Kind

The feminist cult book – rediscovered!

A young woman becomes unintentionally pregnant. During the first few weeks, which she experiences very consciously, she tries to prepare herself emotionally and mentally for her new role as a mother, which she both longs for and fears. As a professionally successful and emancipated woman, she wants to maintain her independence. The sometimes intense reactions from her environment and the societal pressure she faces weigh heavily on her. She speaks to her unborn child and goes through a rollercoaster of emotions – joyful anticipation, tender impatience, despair, sadness, fear, and hope. A classic of feminist literature, touching and timelessly relevant. With an afterword by Barbara Sichtermann.
