T his page is new and heavily under construction! The main idea of it is to reflect on "the tragedy of the strong woman" - as I call it. Starting at the stone ages (Ayla) through Nibelungen- Saga (Brunhilde) Arthurian days (Morgan Le Fay) and the Civil War (Scarlett O Hara) up to modern times I will paint some portraits of strong women in history, legend and fiction and the difficulties they encountered not fitting into the picture of the sweet and humble dolls men long for. Still they felt as real women and preferred as their partners real men even stronger then themselves not weaklings that admired them. But usually in vain!
