German historian (born 1942)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Duden (born August 27, 1942, in Greifswald) is a German medical historian, scholar of gender studies, and emeritus professor of the University of Hannover. Her work figures significantly in the currents that established the body as a site for historical inquiry. She is one of the founders of the journal Courage, which was in publication from 1976 to 1984.[1] Courage primarily circulated in West Berlin where it played an extensive role in informing the women's movement at the time. Her father is also the great-grandson of the German philologist Konrad Duden.
