Look forward to an evening full of humor, honesty, and moving insights into the topics of menopause, self-determination, and solidarity among women. A literary event centered around International Women’s Day that inspires courage, sparks reflection, and shows that the best years are still ahead of us!
What happens when everything suddenly changes? Menopause affects how we feel about our bodies, our relationships, and our outlook on life. It raises new questions, brings challenges, and at the same time opens up unexpected possibilities.
In honor of the upcoming International Women’s Day on March 8, this reading creates a space for women’s perspectives, personal stories, and an open exchange about a phase of life that all too often takes place in silence.
In her book *Menomorphosen*,actress, director, and screenwriter Jule Ronstedt has 26 women—from A to Z—share their very personal stories. The stories cover sleep disturbances, hot flashes, anger, and breakups, but also self-determination, solidarity among women, childlessness, and the question of how women in midlife are perceived in our society.
Jule Ronstedt knows this phase of life from her own experience. Through conversations with other women, she realized how many similar changes and feelings women go through—yet are rarely discussed. With “Menomorphosen,” she brings menopause out of the taboo corner and gives visibility to women in midlife and their stories.
The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes angry, sometimes melancholic, and always encouraging. They show that menopause is not just a time of farewells and change, but also holds new opportunities. It’s about getting to know yourself anew, putting your own desires first, and becoming the woman you’ve always wanted to be.
Look forward to a special literary evening with Jule Ronstedt and an honest and humorous look at what it means to be a woman in midlife.
