Resistant punk women in the GDR

Book presentation and discussion

In previous analyses of the GDR punk scene, the perspectives of women often remained in the background, although they were subjected to the same state repression as their male companions. With "Tanz auf dem Vulkan. Resistant Punk Women in the GDR", Geralf Pochop closes this gap. In interviews, diary excerpts and personal contributions, 23 women report on courage, rebellion and everyday life between subculture and the surveillance state.

Sonja M. Schultz also focuses on female self-assertion in the GDR. In her novel "Mauerpogo" , she tells the story of fourteen-year-old Jo, who dyes her hair bright green for her youth consecration and becomes a punk. Jo is soon targeted by the Stasi and faces increasing repression.
