"Desiring Emancipation" traces middle-class German women s claims
to gender emancipation and sexual subjectivity in the pre-Nazi era.
The emergence of homosexual identities and concepts in this same
time frame provided the context for expression of individual
struggles with self, femininity, and sex. The book asks how women
used new concepts and opportunities to construct selves in
relationship to family, society, state, and culture. Taking a queer
approach, "Desiring Emancipation" s goal is not to find homosexuals
in history, but to analyze how women reworked categories of gender
and sex. Marti M. Lybeck interrogates their desires, demonstrating
that emancipation was fraught with conflict, anachronism, and
disappointment.
Each chapter is a microhistorical recreation of the actions,
writings, contexts, and conflicts of specific groups of women. The
topics include the experience of first-generation university
students, public debates about female homosexuality, and the
stories of three civil servants whose careers were ruined by
workplace accusations of homosexuality. The book concludes with a
debate between the women who joined the 1920s homosexual movement
on the meanings of their new identities."
