Articles in this collection discuss women authors from East Germany, Austria and the Federal Republic respectively. Two articles provide exemplary corrective readings of cannonical literature and criticism. One is a very useful pedagogical article on film. The final two contributions are an East German social scientist's statement concerning anticipated changes in the study of women in that country, and an editor's postscript dealing with the impact that German reunification is likely to have on those issues that are of concern to feminist scholars in German studies. As a serial publication, this yearbook provides a forum for feminist scholarship on any topic related to women in German literature and culture.
