Mad MAdchen offers an incisive analysis of these trans-generational debates, identifying the mother-daughter themes and other tropes that have defined their representation in German literature, film, and media. Author Margaret McCarthy investigates female subjectivity as it processes political discourse to define itself through both differences and affinities among women. Ultimately, such a model suggests new ways of re-imagining feminist solidarity across generational, ethnic, and racial lines Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 23, 2017) Subject German literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism Women in literature.
