  • "Above all, Heike Kleen succeeds with her humour, she manages to bring the ease and lightness to the subject that it deserves." ZEIT WISSEN

JUST GOING TO QUICKLY DO THE LAUNDRY, THEN I’LL BE A FEMINIST

Heike Kleen considers equality to be essential but does not see herself as a model feminist. She asks herself: why am I stuck in the part-time trap? Why do I smile even when I don’t feel like it? And why do I advise my son to hit back after he’s been hit although I reject toxic masculinity? Many feel like Heike Kleen: the will to be a feminist is there, if only there weren’t the pitfalls of everyday life alongside the structural discrimination. What is the solution? One way is to fight for equality with forbearance and self-irony rather than recriminations. Heike Kleen tells us how to do this in this book.
