Cindy-Adriana Speich in Jena: A reading with a clear edge
When a woman picks up a drill, it not only marks the beginning of a home renovation but also a societal debate. Cindy-Adriana Speich presents her first book I'm building a world that men don't like at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena. The reading connects personal experiences, dry humor, and a sharp look at gender roles, self-determination, and everyday sexism.
A construction site as a literary starting point
The story begins with a house in need of renovation, a dirty smartphone, and the spontaneous decision to just record. From the moments of construction, Cindy-Adriana Speich developed an unvarnished content that now more than a million people follow. Her book transforms these experiences into a pointed literary narrative between autobiographical report, social analysis, and feminist journalism.
Humor as a tool against old gender roles
Speich recounts situations on the construction site, around the family table, and in everyday motherhood. Her language remains direct, sarcastic, and at times coarse, without losing sight of the social dimension. The focus is on women who take up space, make decisions, and no longer arrange their craft, family, or professional responsibilities according to traditional expectations.
Literature in cultural discourse
The book questions how deeply entrenched notions of femininity reach into everyday life. It addresses devaluation, hatred, and the disturbing reaction to women who take matters into their own hands. Thus, the reading opens a conversation space about equality, motherhood, body images, and the political significance of personal self-determination. The event is held in cooperation with the State Center for Political Education Thuringia.
An author encounter with immediate language
The literary experience thrives on the closeness between the author and the audience. Cindy-Adriana Speich brings a voice to the stage that does not argue from a distance but speaks from lived experience. Her reading atmosphere promises clarity, linguistic directness, and that mixture of laughter and contemplation that firmly anchors social questions in memory.
The reading at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena is aimed at all those interested in contemporary literature, feminist topics, and social change. Visitors can expect an engaged author encounter with a personal perspective, political relevance, and a language that does not shy away from contradiction.
Conclusion: Literature that encourages action
Cindy-Adriana Speich shows that simply doing things can be radical, not banal. Those who experience this special reading live will encounter an author who uses humor as resistance and reassesses familiar gender roles. The Ernst-Abbe-Library will become a place for literary debate, encouragement, and confident observation of the present on November 13, 2026.
