Summary
The West German gender role debates of the 1950s and 1960s quietly made their way through the themes of family life, sexuality, and the gainful employment of women until arriving at a destination of massive change. Sarah Jäger's study shows how this process of individualisation raised ethical conflicts in Protestant circles and led to an increasing focus on the individual.
