Germany serves as a case study of when and how members of intersectional groups—individuals belonging to two or more disadvantaged social categories—capture the attention of policymakers, and what happens when they do. This edited volume identifies three venues through which intersectional groups are able to form alliances and generate policy discussions regarding their concerns. Original empirical case studies focus on a wide range of timely subjects, including the intersexed, gender and disability rights, lesbian parenting, women working in STEM fields, workers’ rights in feminized sectors, women in combat, and Muslim women and girls.

“A dynamite collection of expert authors have coordinated a set of eight fascinating case studies to help explain why Germany, generally considered conservative in its family and gender policies, nonetheless adopted measures supportive of weak subgroups of marginalized gender positions. This glaring policy contradiction is shown here to reflect strategic use of different opportunities for leverage and suggests a range of ways to make intersectionally disadvantaged groups heard.”—Myra Marx Ferree, University of Wisconsin
