"From 1971, the rates paid were means-tested, allowing working class families with children privileged access. A four-person household in West Germany spent around 21 percent of their net income on rental costs while a similar household in the East only needed 4.4 percent."-Katja Hoyer, Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949-1990
"In other fields too, female ambition had become the norm. By 1988, over 90% of East German women fought their own battles in the workplace. The GDR had reached the highest rate of female employment in the world as women entered every last bastion of previously exclusively male domains."-Katja Hoyer, Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949-1990
