The name Alice Schwarzer has become synonymous with feminism in Germany's mainstream media—that is, with feminism as it is popularly defined and, often enough, misunderstood. She needs no introduction to those of us who followed her career from the abortion rights rallies of the

This is an unabashedly partisan book, written by two of Alice Schwarzer's long-time friends. The authors make clear in the preface that they will counter the image of Schwarzer as a "verkniffene Emanze" [narrow-minded women's libber]: "We know the participants, we know better.

Two sixty-year old women on a quest for a lost era: Germany's most prominent feminist and her "best friend" from girlhood writing letters to each other in 2004. The two women have not seen each other for years, renew the friendship, hit it off just as in old times, and decide to share memories in an exchange
