To be a woman is to be half the world’s population but, in many countries, unfortunately still now and for most of history, women were decidedly second class, normally no more than chattels and the bearers and nurturers of children.

Susanne Krammer ist jahrelang selbst in diese Falle getappt. Als Mode- und Beautyjournalistin hat sie diese Ideale selbst befeuert, und der Wunsch, noch »perfekter« auszusehen, hätte sie fast das Leben gekostet, als eine völlig unnötige Beauty-OP schiefging und sie nach einer schweren Sepsis nur durch eine Notoperation gerettet werden konnte. In ihrem Hörbuch widmet sie sich der Frage, wie es dazu kommen konnte – und warum fast alle Frauen trotz Feminismus und Aktivismus noch nicht weiter zu sein scheinen und es uns einfach nicht gelingt, uns so anzunehmen, wie wir sind: schön.

We often think of the enduring tropes of the Gothic in terms of fiction and film—breath-catching escapes that tap into our fears, anxieties, forbidden desires, and unsettling dreams. But what if some of these chilly vibes are rooted in the experiences of real and tragic people who danced a macabre waltz with love and death? That's why we're here. Take the case of teenage Mercy Brown, victim—or was it predator?—of Rhode Island's vampire hysteria of the 1890s. Marguerite de la Roque, a French noblewoman condemned for "sexual crimes" to Canada's long-lost Isle of Demons.
