”Rites of Passage” accompany changes of status as well as all crises in human life: pregnancy and birth, puberty and sexlife, marriage and divorce, dying and death, and also – with rites of initiation – all stages in education and profession.

Flying Lesbians, the first German women’s band
“FLYING LESBIANS
Tribe of companion lovers who, as their name indicates, are wanderers. The Flying Lesbians come from Germany and have companion lovers everywhere. Singers and musicians, they owe their celebrity to the fact that they were the first group of wandering lesbians in the raving that began the Glorious Age.”
From: Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig: Lesbian Peoples. Material for a Dictionary. New York 1979
Text about the Disc from Distributor´s information 1976:
“The Flying Lesbians, the first German women’s band, are seven lesbians, who understand themselves as a workshop inside the lesbian-feminist movement, contributing musically to the growing women’s culture. They have been playing at national and international women’s parties for the last 2 years. They are amateurs.
Finally women are making their own music, expressing their own experience and their own perspective. Music to dance, words to listen to.
The texts are about issues, that are discussed in the lesbian movement and in the women’s movement: the situation of battered wives, of women in the drug scene, the „in the closet” situation of lesbians in a society that keeps a deathly silence about love between women, the impossibilities of bisexuality in a society that has institutionalised heterosexuality, the mechanisms, with which women, who have ,made’ it, in male careers betray their own kind, and many songs that express our growing, offensive, woman-identified consciousness.
The Flying Lesbians play for women only, women’s dances preferred. Their songs are in German and in English.”

Gender in Teaching and Didactics
Rentmeister, Cillie; Spieß, Gesine (eds.) (2003):
Gender in Lehre und Didaktik – Gender in Teaching and Didactics. Eine europäische Konferenz in Erfurt- A European Conference in Erfurt, Frankfurt/M., Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien.
From Publishers website Peter Lang:
“University lecturers from six countries met at the international Erfurt conference. The focus was on the implementation of gender studies, networking and the development of didactic concepts, as there is a great need in this discipline for didactic and methodological clarification. Topics discussed were: What is the goal of gender studies? How can gender awareness be raised in teaching or training situations? What good didactic examples exist already? How can New Media be implemented?
