Gerd Brantenberg Books

Gerd Mjøen Brantenberg is a Norwegian author, teacher, and feminist writer known for her provocative literary explorations. Her work critically examines patriarchal structures and societal gender norms, often by inverting them to reveal their constructed nature. In her most famous novel, she reimagines society with female as the default and male as the subjugated sex, demonstrating how language shapes our understanding of power and gender. Brantenberg's writing challenges readers to question established roles and the linguistic foundations of gender.
