Annette Schuhmann is a research associate at the Leibniz Center for Contemporary History in Potsdam (ZZF). Her articles on the history of everyday life in the GDR appear in ZEIT.
As intense and diverse as Maxie Wander's legendary volume "Guten Morgen, du Schöne", but at the same time completely independent in the here and now: In "We are different!", historian Annette Schuhmann brings together 15 different portraits of women, each captivating and profound in its own right: Women artists, workers, scientists, women who fled to the West or stayed in the East. Last but not least: Women of the "post-reunification generation". The portraits reveal how experiences, memories and family stories continue to have an effect and what self-image emerges from socialization in the GDR.
