In this volume, Rita Pawlowski alphabetically introduces a total of 651 women who were representatives of the People’s Chamber of the GDR. Following a short introduction to the election frequency of female representatives and to the number of women in the People’s Chamber and its committees, the biographies provide information on the social origin, party membership, educational and occupational training, and professional life of the individual women. The volume’s goal is to document these women’s extraordinary engagement in the GDR, for they not only held careers and fulfilled family duties, but also pursued possibilities for making political impact. The authors note at the outset that the book does not claim to be comprehensive, for it illuminates merely one aspect of the life stories of these women. This remark is important for making the reference work manageable.
