ABSTRACT
Identities are in transition all over Europe. The focus of this paper is the process of German unification and what consequences for women’s identities the creation of a partly new, partly old Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) is having on both sides of the former border. It is particularly concerned with the implications of these identity issues for feminism, both as an organized social movement and as an aspiration for a better life for women, however expressed, in the population at large.
