Abrams Lynn, Harvey Elizabeth (eds.) Gender relations in German history: Power, agency and experience from the sixteenth to the twentieth century

Routledge, 2017. — 272 p.This collection of essays examines the construction of gender norms in early modern and modern Germany.; The modes of reinforcement by the state, the church, the law and marriage, and the resistance to these norms by individuals, are central to each of the contributions.; It examines discourses of the body and sexuality and the relations between gender and power. Similarly, the usefulness of the "public/private paradigm" familiar to gender historians is further challenged.Lynn Abrams is a lecturer in history at the University of Glasgow.
