An Evening with the 2025 International Booker Prize Winner
12 Women Against the Patriarchy. In her stories, Banu Mushtaq depicts everyday female resistance—set against the backdrop of an India marked by classism and corruption.Aashraf is abandoned by her husband because she “only” has daughters. Jamila is to be deprived of her inheritance in the name of religion. Akhila’s husband avoids her gaze, but comes alive as soon as his
mother appears. They are all united in their grief and anger. And they laugh in the faces of the powerful with defiant wit.
Moderator: Barbara Beer
Readings from the German text: Burgtheater actress Lilith Häßle
