Die Muse hat genug geküsst, sie schreibt!

Women and literature - this special relationship has always fascinated you? Women as muse, reader and author of literature. But: why do the author and the muse form a fatal alliance? Why do the author and the reader seem to be made for each other? Why does women's literature become "women's literature" under the table, while men's literature becomes literature in itself? Is the brilliant author male? Is that why female crime writers receive fewer prizes than their colleagues? ... These and other questions reveal the manifold mechanisms that inscribe women in literary processes and make it clear that gender dictates the rules for this. This must change - and this vivid book contributes to this in a way that is as clever as it is entertaining.
