And are they still glittering nowadays?
We are Gisela (75) and Inga (34), feminists from different generations, who enjoy discussions and work together and learning from each other.
During our time in scientific research and as activist in (queer)_feminist movements we made different experiences with different feminisms. Together with the participants we want to engage in a conversation on these different but also overlapping perspectives. For this purpose, we want to reflect the history/histories of feminist movements in West Germany in dialogue and solidarity, but also critically.
The topic and point of departure for our collective reflections is our observation (influenced by our experiences) of the emergence of independent feminist movements in West Germany in 1968, their programmes, forms of organisation and their potency beyond the founding generation to toda’ys (queer)feminist movements. Our aim is an exchange on similarities and diferences mutual (mis)understanding and open questions, characterised by appreciation mutual interest but also critical reflection.
