Abstract

The origins of autonomous women's support projects in Germany lie in feminist challenges to notions of women's inferiority and the desire to protest male violence and abuse. The early visions and ways of working involved an idealization of women and their abilities to create nonhierarchical and egalitarian structures. This article explores the contradictions inherent in this model and the tensions it has produced in conjunction with the challenges of funding by the state and moves toward professionalization.
