Women in German Yearbook 6

by Jeannette Clausen

Articles in this collection discuss women authors from East Germany, Austria, and the Federal Republic respectively. Two articles provide exemplary corrective readings of canonical literature and criticism. One is a very useful pedagogical article on film. The final two contributions are an East German social scientist's statements concerning anticipated changes in the study of women in that country, and an editor's postscript dealing with the impact that German reunification is likely to have on those issues that are of concern to feminist Germanists. As a serial publication, this yearbook provides a forum for feminist scholarship on any topic related to women in German literature and culture. This, the only feminist journal devoted to German studies, will be of interest to professors and students of German and/or women's studies, as well as of comparative literature, at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Co-published with the Coalition of Women in German.
