In this pathfinding study, Susan Linville challenges the accepted wisdom of these books by focusing on a cultural realm in which mourning for the Nazi past and opposing the patriarchal and authoritarian nature of postwar German culture are central concerns--namely, women's feminist auto\/biographical films of the 1970s and 1980s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e After a broad survey of feminist theory, Linville analyzes five important films that reflect back on the Third Reich through the experiences of women of different ages--Marianne Rosenbaum's \u003ci\u003ePeppermint Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, Helma Sanders-Brahms's \u003ci\u003eGermany, Pale Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, Jutta Brückner's \u003ci\u003eHunger Years\u003c\/i\u003e, Margarethe von Trotta's \u003ci\u003eMarianne and Juliane\u003c\/i\u003e, and Jeanine Meerapfel's \u003ci\u003eMalou\u003c\/i\u003e. By juxtaposing these films with the accepted theories on German culture, Linville offers a fresh appraisal not only of the films' importance but especially of their challenge to misogynist interpretations of the German failure to grieve for the horrors of its Nazi past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan E.
