Women and Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) sheds new light on aspects of women’s support for the far right.Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany, AfD) is the second largest party in Germany following the federal election in February 2025, and, like with its counterparts across Europe and elsewhere, women have been instrumental in securing the AfD’s ongoing electoral successes at both a state and federal level. Based on a period of overseas fieldwork during which the author interviewed female AfD members, this book explores how the development of their political subjectivity often intersects with key moments in Germany’s history and subsequent socio-political and economic transformations. The author casts a critical feminist eye over the ways in which women negotiate their own understandings of their AfD support which make it consonant with their own lives and experiences.This book will be of interest to researchers of the far right, German politics, and gender studies.
