Synopsis

Out of the Shadows not only historicises current German feminist thought but also relates it to international feminism. Silke Beinssen-Hesse and Kate Rigby survey many issues of concern to German feminists, including feminine aesthetics, theology and ethics, women's social and political responsibilities, and feminist critiques of the Enlightenment. They examine feminist analyses of unchecked technological developments - a particular interest in one of the few countries in the world where a Green political party has had significant electoral success. They also outline feminist initiatives that radically alter traditional methods of scholarship and research.
