Gisela Bock (born 1942 in Karlsruhe, Germany) is a German historian.
In the 1970s, Bock was active in the international campaign for "wages for/against housework" and was one of the pioneers in the emergence and establishment of "women and gender" history.
[citation needed] Published only in German, her 1986 book, Zwangssterilisation im Nationalsozialismus (Compulsory Sterilization in National Socialism), was a study of the 400,000 compulsory sterilizations performed in Nazi Germany on "genetically inferior" men and women.
Bock examined the history of sterilization in Nazi Germany with respect to the perpetrators as well as the victims, both women and men.
Gisela Bock reviews her academic career from a feminist perspective in an interview with Cillie Rentmeister.
