Female Rebels on Foot

On July 3, the Mitte Museum invites you to a special evening event: Lubkowitz will present her book *Rebellinnen zu Fuß* (Women Rebels on Foot) and combine the reading with an actual walk through Berlin. The reading begins at 6 p.m. at the Mitte Museum in Wedding—a neighborhood that Bettina von Arnim vividly described in her socially critical writings of the 1840s. Starting at 7 p.m., the group walk will continue along the streets she once documented as a poor neighborhood, heading toward Mitte to the bookstore Golda books and more, where the second part of the reading will take place at 8 p.m.

Lubkowitz’s book brings together eleven women writers—including Sophie von La Roche, Mary Shelley, Else Lasker-Schüler, and Annemarie Schwarzenbach—who discovered walking as a form of self-assertion and engagement with the world. Her focus is not on the experience of nature as an end in itself, but on women’s walking as a political and literary practice.

Anneke Lubkowitz, born in 1990, studied literature in Berlin and Edinburgh and earned her doctorate with a dissertation on nature writing. Her anthology *Psychogeografie* was published in 2020. She lives in Münster.

The event is free of charge. Individual sessions may also be attended separately. Registration is requested: kontakt@goldabooks.de.

Please remember to wear appropriate clothing and bring water for the walk.
