Abstract Details

2006, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, German.
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate if the feminist films of the New German Comedy were truly feminist films in the way that their counterparts of the 1970s and 1980s were. Through my research I have concluded that the films made in present day Germany are feminist films of today and much different from the films that were made during the height of the women’s feminist movement. Sherry Hormann’s films do not reflect the political situation, but are based more on the family. Katja von Garnier’s films do have both a political as well as personal subject matter which was prevalent with feminist films of the past. The films of the New German Comedy do, indeed, reflect not only the times in which they were made, but they also are made for the twentieth and twenty-first century woman.
