At the same time, feminist studies have insisted upon the entanglement of gender with issues of nation, class, and ethnicity. Developments in the wake of German unification demand a reassessment of the nexus of gender, Germanness and nationhood. The contributors to this volume pursue these strands of the cultural debate in German history, literature, visual arts, and language over a period of three hundred years in sections devoted to History and the Canon, Visual Culture, Germany and Her \"Others,\" and Language and Power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eContributors: \u003c\/strong\u003eL.
