Deborah Copaken Kogan Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Mal wahnsinnig komisch, mal anklagend: Deborah Copakens Memoiren sind ein schonungsloses Inventar des weiblichen Körpers und der weiblichen Körperpolitik. Was bedeutet es, im Amerika des 21. Jahrhunderts mit weiblichen Organen zu leben? Wieso wird man nur aufgrund dieser Organe nicht gesehen, nicht fair bezahlt und nicht angemessen medizinisch behandelt? Deborah Copaken erzählt von persönlichen, gesundheitlichen und politischen Krisen und deckt dabei den Sexismus in sämtlichen Bereichen der Gesellschaft auf, vom Gesundheitswesen bis zum Dating. Copaken war Kriegsfotografin in Afghanistan, Israel und Simbabwe. Doch abseits dieser Schauplätze kämpft sie eine andere, unsichtbare Schlacht, im ganz normalen Alltag: die Schlacht mit und für ihren Körper. Denn in einem weiblichen Körper zu leben, kann mitunter blutig und gefährlich sein, andererseits aber auch wunderschön. Eine packende weibliche Biografie in Körperteilen, die zeigt: Das Persönliche ist politisch.

Clover, Addison, Mia, and Jane were roommates at Harvard until their graduation in 1989. Twenty years later, their lives are in free fall. Clover, once a securities broker, is out of a job and struggling to reproduce before her fertility window shuts. Addison's marriage to a writer's-blocked novelist is as stale as her so-called career as a painter. Hollywood closed its gold-plated gates to Mia, who now stays home with her children, renovating and acquiring faster than her husband can pay the bills. Jane, the Paris bureau chief for a newspaper whose foreign bureaus are now shuttered, is caught in a vortex of loss. Like all Harvard grads, they've kept abreast of one another via the red book, a class report published every five years, containing alumni autobiographical essays. But there's the story we tell the world, and then there's the real story, as these former classmates will learn during their twentieth reunion, a relationship-changing, score-settling, unforgettable weekend.
