Allies instead of Rivals: How Female Solidarity is changing society

While men form teams, women have always been taught to be rivals. They vie for the most attractive positions that the patriarchy grants them: the "best mother", the "most beautiful woman" or the "most successful manager". Men still set the standards - and women are guided by their favour, judgement and example.
In her new book, sociologist Franziska Schutzbach argues in favour of overcoming such outdated patterns. She shows what changes when women replace the patriarchy's standards with their own, shared ideas and encourages us to start today.

"Women can start here and now to break away from their orientation towards the male world and counter traditional patterns such as hierarchy and competition with their longing for cooperation and friendship." Franziska Schutzbach
