Carolin Emcke and Anke Engelke focus on strong women in literature: Numerous fairy tales and songs, poems and novels teach about the social expectation for girls and women to comply and conform. However, literature also tells of female figures who break out of the mold through intelligence or independence, those who are rebellious and non-conformist, and who resist taboos and conventions.
Journalist and author Carolin Emcke, together with comedian, actress, and entertainer Anke Engelke, reads angry, cheerful, moving, and, above all, encouraging texts about willful, non-conformist women in literature. A very personal call for steadfastness and individuality – with the Brothers Grimm, Christa Wolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Mely Kiyak, Jeanette Winterson, and many others.

Program and cast
Prinzregententheater
The Prinzregententheater, or Prince Regent Theatre, is a theatre and opera house located at 12 Prinzregentenplatz in theBavarian city of Munich, Germany.
Initiated by Ernst von Possart, the theatre was built in the Prinzregentenstrasse as a festival hall for the operas of Richard Wagner near an area where a similar project of King Ludwig II had failed some decades before. Named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria the building was designed by Max Littmann and opened 21 August 1901 with a production of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" by Richard Wagner. Like the Bayreuth theatre, the auditorium was designed to Wagner’s specifications, however an amphitheater has replaced the loges.
After the destruction of the Nationaltheater during World War II, the Prinzregententheater housed the Bavarian State Operafrom 1944 to 1963 even though it also suffered damage during the war which was not repaired until 1958. Since its renovation in 1988, the Prinzregententheater, with 1122 seats, has served also for the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel and now houses the Bavarian Theatre Academy founded by August Everding. Another theatre in the building, the Akademietheateror Academy Theatre, seats 300.
