Reviews

Belinda Davis, Professor of History, Rutgers University:
“In this compact study, Ruble unearths the remarkable ‘entangled’ history of women’s rights, activism, and everyday life at the heart of the competition between East and West Germany. Important reading for students of Germany, the Cold War, family, women, and gender.”

Astrid M. Eckert, Professor of History, Emory University:

"Alexandria N. Ruble has written an essential history of women’s rights and the family in Cold War Germany. Although debates on gender equality and revisions of family law in the two Germanys were shaped by different ideological agendas and did not develop at the same pace, Ruble delivers a nuanced analysis of how they nonetheless moved in tandem. The book is a model of how to consider both German states in one frame."
