Gisela Bock

Gisela Bock ( born July 28, 1942 in Karlsruhe ) is a German historian.

Life

Bock studied in Freiburg, Berlin, Paris and Rome. After receiving his doctorate in 1971 ( history of political ideas of the early modern period ), she was a research assistant ( for history of North America, then of National Socialism ) at the Free University of Berlin until 1983. After his habilitation in 1984 at the Technical University of Berlin, she worked as a professor at the European University Institute in Florence and from 1989 to 1997 Professor of gender History at the University of Bielefeld. Until her retirement in 2007, she was Professor of Modern History at the Free University of Berlin.

In the 1970s, Bock engaged in the feminist movement. She was instrumental in the campaign " wage for housework " and was one of the pioneers in the development and institutionalization of women 's and gender history. Their best-known publications are the theoretical essays on gender history and the book Women in European History (all in several languages), as well as the studies on the forced sterilization in Nazi Germany, a study of 400,000 forced sterilizations - after the Nazis conception - " hereditary inferior" men and women who have been made in Nazi Germany. Bock takes the view that the gender politics of National Socialism was also influenced by the racial politics as vice versa, and that his birth was not so much specific policy of pronatalism, but the Antinatalismus.

Together with Karin Hausen and heath wonder they gave up the series history and gender Campus Verlag.
