Workshop series "When do we meet?"/Labour struggles for care. Gün Tank reads from "Die Optimistinnen"

It's about the big picture. Visions of labour struggles for gender equality and the common good

How have women workers in the past defended themselves against unequal treatment and devaluation? What can we learn from the migrant women's strikes of the 1970s? How do they relate to today's struggles for gender equality?
It is forgetting that author Gün Tank is writing against.
She has collected stories from her mother's generation - a group of migrant women who were the first to come to Germany. In the 1970s, they came from Spain, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia and Turkey. They went to the factory early, went out in the evenings and were sole breadwinners. And they went on strike for better pay and working conditions. Yet their women's stories are barely documented.
In our fourth online workshop, Gün Tank will read from her debut novel "The Optimists". Using interactive methods, we want to consider together what needs to change - and how we can join forces.
