Barbara Duden
Barbara Duden (born 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. ''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.
