Auf den Schultern von starken Frauen (“On the shoulders of strong women”) is the title of an anniversary brochure on 40 years of the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft kommunaler Frauenbüros und Gleichstellungsstellen (BAG), the German Federal Working Group of Municipal Women's Offices and Equal Opportunities Centres.

The brochure presents the historical development of the BAG from 1984 to 2024, coupled with personal experiences and adventures as well as an outlook on future work. It describes the work of the BAG from its inception to the present day. How did the association come about? How was it possible to build a network? How did East and West grow together? How could gender issues be brought into the mainstream?

studiokwi was in charge of project management, barrier-free conception, design and typesetting using Marund and Atkinson Hyperlegible, as well as pre-press of the print publication and screen reader optimisation of the two PDFs.
