Antonia Baums novel about pregnancy, self-determination, and societal expectations. Free entry – with a moderated discussion at Rupertus Buchhandlung.
Description
In the mini reading club HERSTORY LESEN, the novel ACHTE WOCHE by Antonia Baum takes center stage. The book tells the story of Laura, a single parent who becomes pregnant unintentionally. While working at a gynecological practice, she observes other women in similar situations—their joy, uncertainty, and decision-making processes. Laura herself grapples with how to handle her pregnancy. The novel explores themes of desire for children, self-determination, and societal expectations of female bodies.
Alongside the non-fiction book MYTHEN, MACHT UND MUTTERMUND by Helena Barop, which analyzes power dynamics surrounding female sexuality, the reading club provides a space for text discussion and reflection. Moderated by Carmen Schwarz and Martina Fladerer, the event invites participants to exchange perspectives on female experiences in literature and society. Preparation is welcome but not mandatory.
