Abstract

In the publication of her dissertation Equal Rights for Woman and Man (Gleiches Recht für Frau und Mann), Tanja-Carina Riedel combines legal history with gender research by examining the origins of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch or BGB) from the perspective of the middle-class women’s movement. Her impressive presentation of the sources, which are often hard to approach, gives us access to a side of the BGB that is almost unknown.
