Abstract

The editor Ilse Lenz collects documents gathered together from multiple thematic trends and fields representing 40 years of the women’s movement in Germany. Embedded in ground-laying introductory texts, each chapter of the volume offers well-known and less known publications by those who took part in the women’s movement. The decision to include emancipated men in the examination can be seen as innovative while the largely absent autonomous women’s movement in the GDR can be seen as an unfortunate flaw. Nevertheless, the source book at hand can be considered a standard work for the history of the German women’s movement.
