For centuries, church history has been told as if only a few voices mattered — and most of them were male. Countless women*’s lives and contributions remain hidden in archives, reduced to footnotes, or overwritten by later interpretations that say more about their interpreters than about them. What happens when we begin to read this history differently and ask not only who is remembered, but who has been made invisible?

Whether for pleasure or study, the power of reading should be inclusive. But how can we make that a reality? In our interview with Thomas Kahlisch, the Director of the German Centre for Accessible Reading explains why collaboration is the key to making it happen.
