Invisible workers: women who always take care of but never be honored

Annett Gröschner’s novel Floating loads is dedicated to those women of the working class who were exposed to the – constantly changing – political circumstances of the 20th century and had to set up again and again to get through themselves and their families. The history of the Magdeburg woman Hanna Krause includes two revolutions, two dictatorships, two world wars, two defeats, two democracies and six children. Gröschner does not tell this autofiction, but reports objectively to humorous and without ideological rhetoric from the perspective of this working mother.
