Frauen | Lyrik. Gedichte in deutscher Sprache

Over 500 poems by authors from ten centuries – this anthology offers a new perspective on poetry by, about, and for women. Unique in its selection and structure, this collection takes four different viewpoints: The first perspective features poems that have already been part of various canons in the past; the second focuses on historically significant poems. A third group gathers poems with particular emancipatory strength; a fourth is dedicated to poems by authors of all genders that textually adopt a woman's perspective. In this multiperspective examination, overlaps arise, but also intriguing contradictions and surprising similarities.
