Abstract

The collected volume dedicated to Christine Kulke provides an overview of differing discussions on gender research concentrated in particular on the areas of work, politics, and democratic developments. The often-cursory contributions provide insight into such different and very current topics as participation research, gender mainstreaming, and precarity. Articles on education politics in the GDR and work relations of maidservants offer up contemporary historical findings. However, the volume does not hold its promise of providing a collective reference for critical theory and critical reason. The articles’ origin in gender research is their only unifying factor.
