• Resumen

  • Contemporary research on the history of the German feminist movement lays emphasis on the diversity of the movement and uses the plural form to underline this variety. The article demonstrates that the different strands of the feminist movement often do not have peaceful relationships with each other – an assumption that the focus on the plural form implies. The example of the controversy of three important magazines of the German feminist movement of the 1970s and 1980s – Courage, Die Schwarze Botin and Emma – shows that the controversy and the quarrel about how the movement should understand itself and who should be its subject were essential to the movement. Central to the controversy was the question on how the magazines positioned themselves to the public and to the making of a feminist counterpublic as well as the meaning of women’s experience for the movement. On the basis of this case study, the article argues that it is pertinent to understand feminist history as a history of conflicts.
