»Sie, eine Frau von hoher Schönheit, geschaffen wie keine andere, Medea, Madonna, Iphigenie, Aspasia zu sein, beschloss an einem sonnigen Wintertag, ihrer Einsamkeit zu entfliehen und La Rotonda zu verlassen. Sie löste ein Ticket ›Aller jamais retour. Berlin Tegel‹.« So begann im Jahr 1979 Ulrike Ottingers Film Bildnis einer Trinkerin – die Frau von hoher Schönheit war Tabea Blumenschein. Neun Jahre lebten und arbeiteten die beiden im West-Berlin der 1970er zusammen. Unbekümmert gegenüber allen Konventionen, liebte Tabea Blumenschein die Verwandlung: in hunderten Fotosessions spielten die Künstlerinnen mit Identitäten und Rollenbildern und offenbarten in einer unverwechselbaren, avantgardistischen Ästhetik Geschlecht als eine performative Konstruktion. Erstmals verbinden diese Bücher Blumenscheins zeichnerische Arbeiten mit Ottingers Fotografien aus der Zeit der gemeinsamen Performance-Sessions und lassen beide Perspektiven einander begegnen.ULRIKE OTTINGER (*1942) gehört zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Filmemacherinnen. 1973 zog sie nach Berlin und wurde zur Pionierin der avantgardistischen Filmkunst. Ottingers fotografische Arbeiten, Spiel- und Dokumentarfilme wurden auf den wichtigsten internationalen Festivals und zahlreichen Retrospektiven gezeigt.
TABEA BLUMENSCHEIN (1952–2020) wurde in den 1970er- und 80er-Jahren zur Kultfigur der queer-feministischen Bewegung und des West-Berliner Undergrounds. Rund zehn Jahre spielte sie als Hauptdarstellerin und Kostümbildnerin eine tragende Rolle in Ottingers Filmen und war Teil des Avantgarde-Punk Kollektivs "Die tödliche Doris". In den 1990er-Jahren zog sie sich aus der Öffentlichkeit zurück, blieb jedoch bis an ihr Lebensende künstlerisch tätig.

Inspirational Read
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Griffin, J. M. (2023). Force of nature: Three women tackle the John Muir Trail. Black Rose Writing.
Joan Griffin loves exploring and lives in the Northern California foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Five legs, 27 days, 195.9 miles, this is a memoir of three 50+ women hiking the John Muir Trail located in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Each day receives its own chapter providing a vivid description of the trail, challenges, and beauty. Walking created an "unpredictable reality," that was "bigger in every conceivable way than [her] imagination could have conjured." As you read through the story, you are transported to the trail, so vivid her recollections and descriptions of their experiences. She wore a necklace with the words strength, courage, and spirit; a mantra that served her well along the journey. Griffin found: "I found my very soul had acclimated to the natural world, and I was completely in tune with the Earth and the sky and the water surrounding me." Such an inspiring memoir!
This would be a good read for 50+ women who need a good dose of inspiration, those who like travel memoirs, and those interested in long-haul walking.

A great tale of women trekking together
Format: Kindle
This is well -written, enjoyable to read, and like the three women on the trail as a reader you don't want it to end as they near the end of the JMT. Filled with beautiful descriptions of scenery, humorous retelling of some difficult days, and interesting encounters with other people. Even for the non-hiker this book is a fun read.

One of the best real life adventure stories ever.
Format: Paperback
An absolutely wonderful book. The author takes the reader on an amazing hike on the John Muir Trail. She & her two hiking companions experience vast natural beauty, physical demands, ferocious weather & accidents, but together they get to the trails end atop Mt Whitney. Her descriptions of the hike & the environment bring the reader right along with them. This is truly an amazing adventure tale & also the authors personal memoir. If you love the outdoors, hiking, mountains……or even if you don’t, this is an exciting read.

A natural storyteller
Format: Paperback
Three middle-aged women hike the mighty John Muir Trail, the crown jewel of California that covers over 200 miles of steep and rocky terrain in the Sierra. It was a big deal.
The 3-week wilderness trip extended over multiple, high-elevation passes, crossed roaring water and rose to the summit of Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous US at 14, 505 feet.
Griffin’s storytelling comes naturally and with ease. This inspirational, follow-your-dreams story is easy to feel surrounded by because of Griffin’s vivid writing. Luscious accounts of landscapes, macro details of the natural world and the knee-knocking, quad-stabbing terrain puts you, the reader, right there.
Conversely, the detailed prose is a huge liability in the pacing of this book. Mundane details are redundant as the book slogs on. Long descriptions overtake the read and the focus stays superficial. I would have liked much more character development, and better cadence and dialogue.
