Alexandra Zykunov reads in Heilbronn about feminist education and the everyday family life

How can we achieve stereotype-free education when children grow up with beauty ideals, sexist remarks, and patriarchal role models? On December 1, 2026, Alexandra Zykunov will present her new book "But patriarchal bullshit can be mentioned, right?" at the Volkshochschule Heilbronn. The author, journalist, and SPIEGEL columnist combines personal experiences with societal analysis and a furious yet humorous tone that both entertains and provokes thought.

Between Barbie, soccer idols, and family reality

The reading focuses on the contradictory daily life of many parents: the daughter identifies with exaggerated beauty images, while the son admires role models whose behavior is incompatible with their own values. Alexandra Zykunov shares these situations without educational embellishment. Her narratives dive straight into the small conflicts, awkward moments, and difficult conversations that define feminist education in everyday life.

Angry language art with liberating humor

Zykunov's style is characterized by precise observation, direct language, and a humor that makes societal contradictions visible. The author combines literary vividness with nonfiction expertise and translates complex questions about gender bias, care work, and equality into concrete everyday scenes. This creates a reading that does not instruct but stimulates thought and invites conversation.

Feminist education as cultural discourse

Alexandra Zykunov is one of the prominent voices in the current debate on equality and parenthood. Her first nonfiction book "We are all already equal!" spent months on the SPIEGEL bestseller list. With "What more do you want?!" and her new book, she continues the examination of structural disadvantage, role models, and societal responsibility.

The new work was published in August 2026 and, according to the official author page, immediately reached the top of the SPIEGEL bestseller list. The reading in Heilbronn promises an author encounter that connects personal experience, political analysis, and literary experience.

An evening for parents, educators, and all interested parties

The event is aimed at everyone who lives with, works with, or thinks about a fairer society involving children. The focus is on questions that often render adults speechless in family life: How do adults react to sexist jokes? How can we address beauty pressure and stereotypical role models? And how can feminist attitudes remain sustainable when reality constantly contradicts our own standards?

The collaboration of vhs Heilbronn, Frauenrat Heilbronn, and keb Heilbronn emphasizes the societal significance of the evening. The reading atmosphere provides space for realization, contradiction, and shared reflection on language, education, and responsibility.

Conclusion: Literature as an invitation to engage

Alexandra Zykunov's reading in Heilbronn promises an open, pointed, and contemplative evening. Visitors will experience an author who identifies patriarchal patterns without losing sight of the contradictions of everyday life. Those who understand feminist education not as a finished concept but as a demanding daily practice will find linguistic clarity, humor, and new perspectives here.
