German Lesbian Feminists with Julia Beck

Join Julia Beck for three delightful interviews with German lesbian feminists Inge Klein, Manuela Kay, and Judith. These three women talk about their experiences in the German world of lesbian feminism and culture. The show is rounded off by Julia's report and commentary on the subject so stay tuned til the very end! After the greeting, hear the beloved German lesbian anthem, “Wir Sind Die Homosexuellen Frauen" by the Flying Lesbians (1975). Then listen to an interview with Manuela Kay, co-owner of L-Mag, the largest lesbian magazine in Germany - with readers in Austria and Switzerland, too! Manuela talks about the Berlin Dyke March and the concept of lesbian visibility. After Zuckerklub's pop-punk song, "Die Zeit steht still", listen to an interview with Judith, who speaks about how current lesbian culture compares to her experiences in the 80’s and 90’s in Berlin. An interlude with the song "Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo" by Godmother of Punk, Nina Hagen, is followed by the third and final interview with Inge Kleine, active member of KOFRA, the communications center for women in Munich, Germany. Inge offers insight into different modes of activism, such as marches and online campaigns, to support women's autonomy and the Nordic Model. Finally, Julia rounds out the episode with a commentary on German lesbian culture, community and herstory. Thanks for staying tuned to feminist community radio, WLRN.
