The Gender of Fascism. The Gender of Good and Evil : Guilt and Repression in Ingeborg Bachmann's Malina (1971) -- Matriarchal Morality : Women and Hope in Christa Wolf's Kindheitsmuster (1976) -- Patriarchal Authority and Fascism Past and Present : Elisabeth Plessen's Mitteilung an den Adel (1976) -- Part II. Challenging the Victim-Perpetrator Binary. The Blessing of a Late, Female Birth : Gisela Elsner's Fliegeralarm (1989) -- Uncanny Legacies : Gender and Guilt in Tanja Dückers's Himmelskörper (2003) -- The Dialectic of Vulnerability and Responsibility : Jenny Erpenbeck's Heimsuchung (2007) -- Epilogue. 520 In recent years, historians have revealed the many ways in which German women supported National Socialism-as teachers, frontline auxiliaries, and nurses, as well as in political organizations. In mainstream culture, however, the women of the period are still predominantly depicted as the victims of a violent twentieth century whose atrocities were committed by men. They are frequently imagined as post hoc redeemers of the nation, as the "rubble women" who spiritually and literally rebuilt Germany. This book investigates why the question of women's complicity in the Third Reich has struggled to capture the historical imagination in the same way. It explores how female authors from across the political and generational spectrum (Ingeborg Bachmann, Christa Wolf, Elisabeth Plessen, Gisela Elsner, Tanja Dückers, Jenny Erpenbeck) conceptualize the role of women in the Third Reich. As well as offering innovative re-readings of celebrated works, this book provides instructive interpretations of lesser-known texts that nonetheless enrich our understanding of German memory culture. -- |cFrom publisher's website. 650 0 German literature |y20th century |xHistory. 650 0 National socialism and women. 650 7 German literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00941797 650 7 National socialism and women. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01033813 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 Women and gender in German studies. 880 4 |6264-00 |c2017 880 0 |6505-00Part I.
