Born in Breslau (then part of Germany) at the end of the 19th century, Edith was raised as an observant jew, only to turn her back on religion right around the time World War I devastated the continent.

But for women especially, bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit.

Una donna. Che nasce ebrea e muore in quanto ebrea e sarà santificata dalla Chiesa cattolica. Che diventa l'allieva prediletta di uno dei più grandi filosofi del Novecento e a cui verrà negata la carriera accademica. Che si impegna per i diritti delle donne e si farà suora di clausura.
