This collection of essays by scholars from England, Germany, and
the United States brings together important and innovative work on
gender relations in German history from the early modern period to
the 1950s. Offering fresh insights and challenging interpretations,
the essays demonstrate how the norms of political, social, and
sexual behavior for both sexes are the objects of regulation and
control, and are matters of conflict, debate, and negotiation. A
substantial introduction reviews the historiography relating the
major themes of the collection.
Topics include childbirth, abortion, and the female body in early
modern Germany; the roots of German feminism; gender, class, and
medicine during World War I and during the Weimar republic; female
homosexuality during the Nazi period; East and West German
reconstruction following World War II and the formation of a
gendered consumer culture.
This book will stimulate readers to think more deeply about the
importance of gender in German history, and prove to be an
invaluable resource for those interested in women's studies and in
German and European history.Contributors. Lynn Abrams, Elizabeth
Harvey, Dagmar Herzog, Kate Lacey, Katherine Pence, Ulinka Rublack,
