This book offers an analysis of the relationship between gender and contemporary consumer cultures in post-authoritarian Southern European societies : it explores the social and cultural changes that have taken place in Spain, Portugal and Greece since the 1960s.
Historians of gender in Germany have tended to treat East and West Germany in isolation, with little attention paid to intersections and interrelationships between the two countries. This collection synthesizes the perspectives of entangled history and gender studies, and investigates the ways in which East and West German gender relations were culturally, socially, and politically intertwined. Chapters on historiography, politics, policies, social movements, sexuality and media.
