Dialogue: Feminism, Identities, and the Substantive Representation of Women on the Right – Crafting a Global Dialogue

Squaring the feminist circle. Feminist labels vs. feminist behavior in the German Christian Democratic Union

 

ABSTRACT

The German Christian Democratic Party has emerged as a new feminist space within German politics, characterized by a strong backing of feminist claims and a simultaneous rejection of the feminist label. Instead, Frauen Union members refer to feminist issues in a variety of different terms such as Querschnittsaufgabe (cross-cutting policy issue) and express long-standing stereotypes of feminists such as man hating or bra-burning women, while simultaneously promoting feminist policies such as electoral and corporate board quotas.
