- Description
- This article explores the everyday lives of women working in an East German factory (1946 and 1991) and examines the state-sanctioned women’s policies, how they were implemented and how women perceived these policies and the officially accomplished emancipation of men and women. This research shed light on and questions the actually accomplished equality of the sexes that was so imperative in socialist state rhetoric.
