This book is the first to compare three contemporary women writing in German: Herta Müller (from Romania), Libuse Moníková (from Czechoslovakia), and Kerstin Hensel (from the GDR). Drawing on psychoanlytical, feminist, and performativity theory, it looks at images of the body and their relationship to the structures of their writing as well as analysing the social, cultural, and political contexts.
