'Ten essays, each with extensive citations, by prominent German and US scholars consider significant themes in German history.A clearly organized ’selected bibliography’ adds to its importance for students and scholars interested in this path breaking shift toward a more balanced understanding of Germany’s history. Highly recommended.' · ChoiceA wonderful compendium, perfect for classroom use - and a terrific resource for scholars. The essays provide valuable original perspectives on some of the most significant controversies currently engaging historians of Germany, as they also document just how profoundly careful attention to questions of gender has infused and transformed many subfields in German history - including the study of religion, political protest, war, and colonialism. · Dagmar Herzog, Graduate Center, City University of New YorkAuthors take on the big themes and debates of German history, providing unparalleled evidence -- including extensive footnotes and a bibliographical chapter -- that gender has not only challenged mainstream ('malestream') German history but has in many cases, indeed, rewritten it. This rich and thought-provoking book is a 'must' for scholars and students concerned with historiographical debates, the transatlantic dialogue among scholars, and issues of theory and methodology. It will also attract a public interested in gender history and is intrigued by the effects of gender more generally. · Marion Kaplan, New York UniversityThis incisive collection of essays details the impact of a focus on women and gender on historical writing on modern Germany. Attuned to developments in the United States and Germany, the essays carefully distinguish points of convergence and divergence in approach and methodology between the two academic cultures and provide a nuanced overview of the current state of the field as well as desiderata for the future. Leading scholars illuminate how gendered perspectives have revolutionized understanding of the conventional stuff of history - such as nation, politics, military, religion, and the state - while opening up critical new avenues of analysis around citizenship, family, sexuality, colonialism, minority relations, and memory. An invaluable resource for students and scholars of German history and gender studies alike. · Heide Fehrenbach, Northern Illinois UniversityKaren Hagemann is the James G.
