"Meine literarische Heimat bin ich selber, die unabhängige autonome Republik Katja Lange-Müller", sagt die 1951 in der DDR geborene Schriftstellerin. Wegen "unsozialistischen Verhaltens" von der Schule geflogen, arbeitete sie zunächst als Bildredakteurin, Psychiatrie-Schwester und Schriftsetzerin, bis sie Anfang der 80er Jahre ihre Bestimmung im Schreiben fand und einem Exil in der Mongolei doch die Ausreise nach Westberlin vorzog.

Since the world’s first test-tube baby was born in 1978, in vitro fertilization has made the unimaginable possible for millions of people, but its revolutionary potential remains unrealized. Today, fertility centers continue to reinforce conservative norms of motherhood and family, and infertility remains a deeply emotional experience many women are reluctant to discuss.

Dame Jenni Murray joins Robin Morgan in the Audible Studios to discuss her book, A History of Britain in 21 Women. Dame Jenni is one the UK's most renowned journalists and broadcasters, and has presented BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour since 1987. She is the author of several books, and her latest celebrates the women who have shaped the country as we know it today.

On the morning of Saturday 15th April 1989, Jenni Hicks, her husband and their two teenage daughters, Sarah and Vicki, went to watch a football match. That was to be their last day as a family. Sarah and Vicki didn't come home, and Jenni's world was changed forever. Since that fateful day, Jenni has tirelessly campaigned for justice for her own and others' families. But this is not the story of the Hillsborough tragedy. This is a story of what came before and after that day.

Als die Mauer fiel, war der gebürtige Dresdner Ingo Schulze 27 Jahre alt. Er arbeitete als Dramaturg am Theater. 1993 gab er als "Wessi" zusammen mit anderen Journalisten in St. Petersburg eine Zeitung heraus und schrieb seine erste Episoden-Sammlung über seine Erfahrungen in der russischen Stadt: "33 Augenblicke des Glücks". Seit diesem Buch und seinem ersten Roman "Simple Storys" reißen die Lobeshymnen über den genauen Beobachter und lakonischen Erzähler nicht ab.

Thomas von Steinaecker schreibt Romane, Hörspiele und rezensiert Comics. Sein erster Roman "Wallner beginnt zu fliegen" (2007) gewann gleich mehrere Preise. Dabei ist der gebürtige Bayer gerade mal knapp über 30. In seinem neuen Buch "Schutzgebiet" (2009) geht es um ein fiktives deutsches Kolonialgebiet in Afrika, in dem sich 1913 eine skurrile Gruppe verkrachter Existenzen versammelt.

Gleich sein erster Roman "Mai, Juni, Juli" aus dem Jahre 1987 brachte Joachim Lottmann den Titel "Vater der Popliteratur" ein. Wenn auch erst 2004, als der verschwundene Autor durch ein Kritikerlob in der FAZ sein grandioses Comeback startete. Seitdem hat der 53jährige gebürtige Hamburger bis heute fünf weitere Romane veröffentlicht, bloggt für die taz und kritisiert leidenschaftlich gern andere Autoren. In seinem neuesten Roman "Der Geldkomplex" (2009) beschreibt Lottmann, wie man als Geisterfahrer im Strom der Krise doch noch sein Glück finden kann.

In Meineckes neuestem Buch "Jungfrau" arrangiert der Musiker, DJ, Buch- und Hörspielautor eine ganze Handvoll seiner Lieblingsthemen umeinander herum: Feminismus, Musik, Religiosität, die Parallelen zwischen spiritueller und sexueller Hingabe und B-Movies der 50er Jahre. Zwischen seinen Protagonisten wimmelt es von Querverweisen auch auf Heilige und Philosophen des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Britain has traditionally been defined by its conflicts, its conquests, its men and its monarchs. It’s high time that it was defined by its women. In this unique history, Jenni Murray tells the stories of 21 women who refused to succumb to the established laws of society, whose lives embodied hope and change. Famous queens, forgotten visionaries, great artists and trailblazing politicians - all pushed back boundaries and revolutionised our world. In Murray’s hands their stories are enthralling and beguiling; they have the power to inspire us once again.

Britain has been defined by its conflicts, its conquests, its men and its monarchs. To say that it's high time it was defined by its women is a severe understatement. Jenni Murray draws together the lives of 21 women to shed light upon a variety of social, political, religious and cultural aspects of British history. In lively prose Murray reinvigorates the stories behind the names we all know and reveals the fascinating tales behind those less familiar.

At 64, Jenni Murray's weight had become a disability. She avoided the scales, she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make connections between her weight and health issues and told herself that she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy part was an Oscar-winning performance. In private she lived with a growing sense of fear and misery that it would probably kill her before she made it to 70.

I remembered the first time I stepped into a church—it was and seemed to foreign to me. I never experienced god before. I was lost—out in the open. My mother never taught us anything about the lord or Christ. I always felt I had an unknowing relationship with him. It was always there or he was always there to protect me and guide me. I always felt a presence;the lords presence. He brought me a mighty long way.
