Abstract

After the protagonists of the first women’s movement managed to win entrance into the institutions, at least in principle, since 1968 the march through the institutions has been underway. Stefanie Ehmsen examines this fact in the United States and in the Federal Republic, however she interprets the differences to be the result of the respective political traditions. Although she provides well-researched case studies that are worth reading, she unfortunately does not exhaust the potential of the analysis.
