Introduction [in PDF format]

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"No other historian, writing in German or English, has examined women in early East Germany in such detail. Revenge of the Domestic will become a standard work on East German women, a starting point for all further writing on the subject."--Elizabeth Heineman, University of Iowa

"Revenge of the Domestic is an excellent work of historical scholarship that offers profound insight into the workings of the state socialist system in East Germany. Donna Harsch shows--and does not just assert--that gender constantly shaped the politics and society of East Germany. She also shows how women themselves were changed by forty years of communism."--Eric Weitz, University of Minnesota
