..". the level of detail of this fine-grained analysis is clearly the book's strength... Offering new insights into the dynamics of gender relations, employment and social change, its implications extend beyond the German context. Especially the methodological approach, combining the analysis of official documents, discourses and motivations with labour market statistics, case studies and qualitative interview material is convincing and inspirational." - Sociology
"Von Oertzen's study is essential reading for any scholar interested in postwar women's history. Her work is a model for historians using social history to investigate continuity and change in gender roles, both at the political and popular level. The wide range of archival sources at the basis of her arguments makes them convincing...her work provides scholars, teachers, and students a fascinating glimpse into the grassroots, daily reality in which feminism was actualized for women in the postwar world." - H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online
..".a fascinating account... drawing on a dizzying range of sources from the archives of local labor offices and a number of firms ... a fine book." - Central European History
