„I never want to be called a women’s rights activist - I am a feminist! ” – Marlies Krämer

What can I do as an individual? That is not an easy question, but anyone in Germany who picks up their ID card will find the answer there. In 1990, Marlies Krämer refused to sign her new papers because the signature field only had the male version "owner". She collected signatures across the country until the legislature decided to recognize her and thus all women as "owners".
Today, at the age of 84, she is fighting against the banking system. She demands that her bank, the Sparkasse, recognize her as a "customer". A symbolic fight against the patriarchal system. Who is this strong woman? Who is she fighting for at her age? Where does she get her strength from?
