Anne Sauer: In the Life Next Door

Moderation: Angelika Atzinger, Managing Director of the Amazone Association. What would her life look like if she had made a different decision in that one situation? In her debut novel "Im Leben nebenan" (In the Life Next Door), Spiegel Bestseller author Anne Sauer tells the story of two possible life realities of a young woman – one with a child and one without. What expectations, patriarchal notions, and conflicts does she face? And how can she find her own happiness amidst all of this? Anne Sauer is a freelance author and moderator and recommends contemporary literature in the podcast "Monatslese" (Monthly Reading). In 2024, she published her much-discussed essay about Taylor Swift. Angelika Atzinger is a political scientist and has been working in feminist contexts since 2012, currently as the head of the Amazone Association and on the board of the network of Austrian women's and girls' counseling centers.
