| Summary: | The aim of this article is to examine the situation of women in the German Parliament during the 1968 movement. The existing historiography has shown that women have largely been overlooked as a category when it came to protests in Germany and more generally in countries where mass demonstrations took place. Hence this article addresses the following question: did women in the Bundestag suffer from this detrimental situation to the same extent women that did in the 1968 movement? Social-democrat women in Parliament tended to be assigned to stereotypical topics, such as health and education, and they built their identity as parliamentary experts in those fields. A few female representatives, however, did not succeed in emerging as prominent personalities within the parliamentary group. Thus, women did not build a homogeneous entity in the Bundestag. A change occurred after the beginning of the new legislature in 1969, as female representatives came to dialogue with their male counterparts on issues such as divorce or abortion. In a way, they managed to shorten the traditional gap between male and female topics in Parliament and developed a new use of the media in order to get their message across. |
