Einzelautorinnen

Einzelautorinnen is a German term that translates to "female solo authors" or "women authors writing alone." It refers to women who are the sole authors of their published works, distinguishing them from co-authored pieces or works where multiple authors might contribute. The term is often used within literary and academic contexts to discuss the specific experiences and contributions of women in writing.

The concept highlights the agency and individual creative control of women writers. It can be contrasted with historical situations where women's writing might have been published anonymously, under pseudonyms, or in collaboration, sometimes due to societal expectations or limitations. In contemporary discourse, the term can be used to emphasize the unique perspectives and voices that individual female authors bring to their chosen genres and subjects. It acknowledges the personal journey and distinct authorship of each woman writer, celebrating their singular creative output.
