Evening,

struggling to find a translation for this. From:

"Auch fuer die feministische Forschung schien der Bergriff [Gewalt] anschlussfaehig, denn neben der Ungleichheit der Geschlechter liess sich damit auch das Gewaltverhaeltnis in der Konstruktion der Geschlechterpolatitaet fassen."

TIA

Peer comment(s):

neutral Lancashireman : Hello Armorel. ‘Good material’ fits quite well here but I don’t think feminism (or ‘feminist research’) necessarily chose the issue of ‘Gewalt’ as a ‘starting point’. (Votes for Women, equal pay etc). However, that may just be my male perspective.
