Abstract

In her feminist-informed literary analysis of the works of lesser known women authors of the Honecker era in the GDR, Lequy focuses on themes of the local, the home, of disorientation and loss of centre. She examines how the East German environment influenced the creative efforts of these authors. Lequy furthermore explores whether these authors were aware of the GDR’s double standard with respect to the alleged equality of men and women and how they reacted to this deception.
