Here comes the first comprehensive examination of being alone from a female perspective: the nuclear family and the greatest possible integration into society still stand for absolute happiness in life. Sarah Diehl reveals the pitfalls of this assumption by means of cultural-historical observations, interviews, and an exploration of different life plans. In doing so, she looks at the meaning of being alone in itself, but also in family, partnership and sexuality, in creative and political work, in nature or while traveling. She shows how we appropriate the world when we are alone, and challenges us as a society to find new answers to social questions about parenthood and care, so that women in particular can access the elementary experience of freedom in being alone more naturally. For this is not only the cornerstone of responsible coexistence - it is the driving force for reflection and change.
