Gendering Post-1945 German History

“The volume as a whole offers an impressive range and breadth of research and is both robust and accessible. The choice of the editors to invite younger scholars to contribute chapters is a further strength of the volume, the result being a clear willingness to question previous approaches and to open new avenues for research.” German History “[This volume] deals with a fascinating but largely by historical research neglected field…[it] convincingly does justice to its claim enrich traditional historiography and to treat contemporary history as gender history.” Sehepunkte “Applied to the Cold War, this volume shows in a striking way how ubiquitous and effective gender was as a regulatory category in all areas of political, cultural, and social life in the divided Germany. With its inspiring take, its analytically precise approach, and the various thematical focal points, the book offers a well structured and most interesting panorama of the time after 1945.” H-Soz-Kult
