The essays in this book document how the impressive body of
literary works and films created by women writers and filmmakers
has greatly enriched the Austrian cultural scene since 1945. Their
contributions, however, were only marginally recognised during the
1950s and early 1960s and remained hidden within the shadows of the
body of art created by their male counterparts in the process of
re-establishing Austria's post-World War II cultural identity. The
situation changed during the 1970s, when the literary and film
texts of the younger generation began to strongly assert feminist
views and issues. The texts of contemporary Austrian women writers
and filmmakers were directed towards social and ethnic
consciousness-raising and are united by their radically new use of
language.
