Elena Uhlig Champions Women’s Solidarity as Key to Fulfillment

She credits lessons from her mother and grandmother for framing her conviction that supportive female friendships enable women to pursue feminist ideals alongside romantic dreams.

Overview

  • Uhlig says she grew up in a female-led household where her mother and grandmother taught her to stand up for herself long before the #MeToo movement.
  • She criticizes overbearing behavior and sexist jokes from men, noting that she often finds herself without words to respond.
  • She emphasizes that she has never encountered similar disrespect or chauvinism in her relationships with women.
  • She argues that embracing feminist principles does not preclude romantic fantasies and encourages women to allow both lifelong convictions and heartfelt dreams.
  • Her ongoing acting career includes roles in Der Junge muss an die frische Luft (2018) and Chantal im Märchenland (2024), reflecting her cultural presence alongside her advocacy.
