Es kann nur eine geben

A knowledgeable book that informs while entertaining.

Wherever you look, there is always that one woman who stands out. In the Bible, it is the Virgin Mary, and that is where the trouble began. In fairy tales, there is always the one princess, very beautiful and very foolish. We can set aside the sinful Eve from the Bible and the wicked stepmother or witch, as they serve merely as examples of what happens when women strive for power: they are cast out of paradise or burned. With this conditioning, women are sent into life, and then we wonder about the constant competition among women for these limited spots. It is then suggested that women are naturally catty and to blame for this rivalry. Carolin Kebekus uncovers this wicked phenomenon; she examines old and new stories to show why women are taught that they must compete for that one spot - on television, in the workplace, at carnival, and so on.
