IG feministische Autorinnen

The Interest Group IG feministische Autorinnen (≠igfem) is a dynamic platform dedicated to promoting feminist and socially critical literature. Founded in the summer of 2019, the community aims to make female authors and their works more visible and to establish a feminist agenda in literature, politics, and the public sphere. The ≠igfem sees itself as a laboratory and interest group that creates virtual spaces where literature and art can emerge.

The ≠igfem offers a variety of projects and initiatives that support feminist authors. These include the online writing lab, the feminist reading circle, and the feminist theory group. The community regularly organizes readings and workshops to promote exchange and networking among authors. A special highlight is the Edition ≠igfem, which publishes award-winning texts and thereby promotes new literary voices.

The main mission of the ≠igfem is to highlight the unequal conditions in the literary world and to actively take countermeasures. The community advocates for the equality of women in art and culture and demands consistent support for female authors. The values of the ≠igfem are based on feminism, equality, and social criticism. It strives to artistically break open gender-specific framings and memory practices and to give more space to women's perspectives in public discourse.

The ≠igfem is involved in various projects aimed at sustainability and social justice. A central project is the "Digital Transformation in the ≠igfem," which deals with the integration of AI and digital technologies into literary work. Additionally, the community is part of the EU project "Equal Pay, Equal Show, Equal Pension," which advocates for equal treatment of women in the literary field. The ≠igfem also demands measures to promote women in art and culture to reduce structural disadvantages and achieve true equality.

The ≠igfem invites all interested parties to participate in its projects and support the feminist agenda in the literary field. Volunteer work and support are welcome to further expand the community's diverse activities. The ≠igfem offers an inspiring platform for literary, feminist, and socially critical content and welcomes any form of co-creation.

With its commitment and diverse initiatives, the Interest Group IG feministische Autorinnen makes a valuable contribution to promoting feminist literature and strengthening the role of women in the literary world.
