Rueschemeyer, Marilyn
Journal of Family Issues, v9 n3 p354-71 Sep 1988
Describes the changing role of women in East Germany since World War II and the impact on family life. Discusses trends in marriages, divorces, birth rates, and employment. Sees new socialist family as not so different from new Western family, being shaped by labor force participation of men and women, alternative lifestyles, and a slow advance of gender equality. (NB)
