Abstract: 

A case reconstruction study of the biographies of women in the former dissident movements of East
Germany exemplifies how empirical results are dependent on the choice
of data gathering and analytical methods. The primary result, on the one
hand, is that the political activity of the women studied was closely
related to their family histories, especially with respect to the Nazi period in Germany. On the other hand, different dimensions of family history
become apparent depending on the method of analysis applied. Therefore,
the respondents' self-analyses cannot substitute for a reconstruction
meant to determine exactly which part of the family history is significant and what its function is.
