Buchvorstellung "Ingrid Brodnig: Feindbild Frau"
Mo., 21.09.2026 from 18:30 o'clock
Book presentation and discussion
Threats of violence, digital hate campaigns, scornful image montages - what sounds like the dark corners of the internet has become a bitter reality for many female politicians. Ingrid Brodnig lays bare in her new nonfiction book how systematic intimidation aims to push women out of the political public sphere and what this means for our democracy.
She has spoken with members of parliament and high-ranking female politicians from Germany and Austria, documenting specific attacks and analyzing how digital violence operates - often fueled by right-wing networks, the logic of social media platforms, and opportunistic media mechanisms.
But Brodnig goes beyond analysis: she outlines ways for those affected to protect themselves - legally, technically, strategically. And she appeals to all of us as citizens to take responsibility. For those who remain silent leave the floor to the loudest voices.
A courageous, clever, and highly relevant book - for everyone who does not want to leave democracy to the fearmongers.
