Why are we more afraid of the word “vulva” than of Voldemort? Do we really need to be ashamed of our body hair? Why are mainly male authors studied in school? And why are gender roles in children’s toys still stuck in the 1950s?
In her comic column “Girlsplaining” for the online magazine “Broadly”, Katja Klengel explores these and other questions. With humour and uncompromising honesty, she also examines her own personal fears, worries and perceived shortcomings — and what it means to be a woman in 2018.
“Girlsplaining” brings together the first six episodes of the comic column across 160 pages, presented in a stylish square hardcover edition.
