description How women from Turkey expanded their scope for political action between West Berlin and Turkey – a new perspective on migration, gender and political movements. Migration has profoundly transformed German society. Until now, little attention has been paid to the role as political actors played by women who, from the 1960s onwards, came to West Germany from Turkey to work. Yet migrant women were often driving forces behind social and political change. Whether it was balancing paid work and family life, the right to vote in local elections or the right to independent residence: migrant women brought issues to the political agenda that challenged prevailing concepts of work, gender and citizenship. Using West Berlin as a case study, Elisabeth Kimmerle examines how migrant women from Turkey fought for their rights. Tracing the evolution of migrant self-organisation between 1961 and 1989 through social spaces such as the factory, the women’s hostel, the street and women’s shops, she analyses this development from a transnational and gender-historical perspective. Drawing on numerous archival sources and interviews with contemporary witnesses, their experiences and political spaces beyond political parties and trade unions are brought to light. This intersectional perspective on migration and gender offers new insights into the history of migrant struggles and demonstrates how the ‘private’ became political in an immigrant society.
