What phases in a woman’s life shape her character? From being a new-born through to early childhood and being at school, a woman develops both mentally and socially. Based on those experiences, her personality develops as a teenager and she achieves professional and private fulfilment as an adult. In the end comes maturity, retirement and inner peace. Here we can once again see Leonore Schwarzer’s fondness for using people as her motifs.
