"Ten essays, each with extensive citations, by prominent German and
US scholars consider significant themes in German history.A clearly
organized 'selected bibliography' adds to its importance for
students and scholars interested in this path breaking shift toward
a more balanced understanding of Germany's history. Highly
recommended." . Choice A wonderful compendium, perfect for
classroom use - and a terrific resource for scholars. The essays
provide valuable original perspectives on some of the most
significant controversies currently engaging historians of Germany,
as they also document just how profoundly careful attention to
questions of gender has infused and transformed many subfields in
German history - including the study of religion, political
protest, war, and colonialism. . Dagmar Herzog, Graduate Center,
City University of New York Authors take on the big themes and
debates of German history, providing unparalleled evidence --
including extensive footnotes and a bibliographical chapter -- that
gender has not only challenged mainstream ("malestream") German
history but has in many cases, indeed, rewritten it. This rich and
thought-provoking book is a "must" for scholars and students
concerned with historiographical debates, the transatlantic
dialogue among scholars, and issues of theory and methodology. It
will also attract a public interested in gender history and is
intrigued by the effects of gender more generally. . Marion Kaplan,
New York University This incisive collection of essays details the
impact of a focus on women and gender on historical writing on
modern Germany. Attuned to developments in the United States and
Germany, the essays carefully distinguish points of convergence and
divergence in approach and methodology between the two academic
cultures and provide a nuanced overview of the current state of the
field as well as desiderata for the future. Leading scholars
illuminate how gendered perspectives have revolutionized
understanding of the conventional stuff of history - such as
nation, politics, military, religion, and the state - while opening
up critical new avenues of analysis around citizenship, family,
sexuality, colonialism, minority relations, and memory. An
invaluable resource for students and scholars of German history and
gender studies alike. . Heide Fehrenbach, Northern Illinois
