Alice Schwarzer to End Emma at 80, Citing Body Pressure and Policy Fights

Alice Schwarzer is ending publication of Emma, the feminist magazine she has led, as she turns eighty. In remarks reported by the NZZ, she argues the battlefield has returned to the body: women must be thin and perfect, inject Botox, and their bodies are always deemed wrong and in need of change. She also criticizes Germany's self-determination law, saying it endangers girls above all. Schwarzer calls the reconciliation of children and career a fairy tale. She says she would like to ban weapons deliveries to Ukraine outright. The interview frames her departure around unresolved themes rather than closure.
