In "A Diary Kept by Mrs. R. C. Germon," Maria Germon presents a poignant and intricately woven narrative that offers a unique glimpse into the domestic and social life of early 20th-century women. The literary style combines lyrical prose with a keen observational eye, capturing the nuances of everyday experiences while reflecting larger societal shifts. Through the intimate lens of Mrs. Germon'Äôs diary entries, the reader is drawn into her world, where personal struggles intermingle with broader themes of identity, resilience, and the evolving role of women during a time of significant cultural transformation. Maria Germon, a dedicated chronicler of women's voices, draws on her own rich heritage and personal experiences to inform her writing. Her passionate commitment to unveiling the complexities of women's lives stems from her background in feminist literature and her academic pursuits in social history. This deep-rooted understanding of women's temporal contexts enriches her portrayal of Mrs. Germon'Äôs reflections, making the diary not only a personal account but also a historical document that resonates with contemporary audiences. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature, historical narratives, or the personal experiences of women in a transformative era.

    Few events have had a greater impact on human history than the ascension to power of the Nazi Party in Germany in January 1933. This was no coup: the party gained some power via democratic elections, although once it was established, it quickly took absolute control over all aspects of the state. Other parties were outlawed, and further elections were deemed “unnecessary.” 
    However, Germany’s image as a nation united under one man and committed to expansion through the application of science and technology was in reality an illusion. Nazi Germany was wracked by internal dissent, a chaotic system of rule and a leader who was willing to ignore the economic and resource needs of his nation. By the end of 1941, Germany appeared to be unassailable. Most of its European enemies had either been defeated or seemed to be on the point of defeat. The almost unbroken string of spectacular successes enjoyed by the German Army and air force suggested to many that these were simply unbeatable. Within less than four years, Germany had been utterly defeated, Hitler was dead and Germany itself was occupied by foreign armies. 
    The factors that led to this sudden and complete collapse had been present from the very beginning of the Nazi regime, but they had been hidden by early success in the face of uncertain and vacillating adversaries. In retrospect, we can clearly see that the fall of the Third Reich was probably inevitable, though it would shake Europe to its foundations, bring about an entirely new world order, and involve the deaths of tens of millions of people.

    Seit 2010 lädt Anna Bromley Künstler*innen, Aktivist*innen und Kulturforscher*innen in das Radiostudio ein, um gemeinsam über Sprache und Stimme im Kontext von Sound, Politik und Alltag nachzudenken. Was als Recherche-Format in einem Künstler*innen-Radio begann, wurde über die Jahre zu eigenständigen Ausstellungsbeiträgen, die das Radio und seine sicht- und unsichtbaren Übertragungskörper in den Blick bzw. in die Ohrmuschel nehmen. 
    
    Die Publikation spiegelt Bromleys kollaborative Radiopraxis durch den erstmaligen Abdruck einer Auswahl ihrer radiophonen Essays. Darüber hinaus gibt die Publikation einen Einblick in die damit verbundenen Ausstellungsformate, die ebenso die Zusammenarbeit mit einer großen Anzahl an Künstler*innen, Aktivist*innen, Radiomacher*innen und Theoretiker*innen einschließt. Als Insert enthält das Buch einen Bild- und Textindex zu Bromleys weiteren künstlerischen Arbeiten.
