The third in the series of art books by Niina Lehtonen Braun, Mädchen lass los/Let Go Girl, examines the theme of the various roles and tasks of women and the enormous pressure they bring with them. What kinds of expectations do women have of themselves and which ones come from society itself? How do they deal with the fear of failure? Between 2017 and 2021 the artist created more than 500 collages that gave a voice to mothers, daughters, partners, friends, and artists, which remains warm and humorous despite all of the exigencies. The book contains a selection of these works and a companion essay by Dr. Christine Nippe.
