• 1: The Origins of the Women's Shelter Movement2: The Cost of Political Support3: Race, Class and Everyday Life in the Shelter4: Domestic Violence and Women's Lives under Socialism5: Feminism and Domestic Violence Activism in the GDR6: The Possibilities of Feminism after Reunification

Feminist Transformations and Domestic Violence Activism in Divided Berlin is an urgent intervention in both the history of postwar Germany, and the history of feminism. Jane Freeland is breaking new ground, both in her evaluation of the impact of feminism on the mainstream political agenda, and her nuanced assessment of how the movement was changed in the process. Her integration of activism in East Berlin, before and after the Wende, expands our understanding of feminism in exciting and important ways. We need more work like this!
