The economic restructuring since German unification has produced gender‐differentiated patterns in the rural workplace. Most studies of East German labour market changes have illustrated the nature of such patterns in quantitative terms whilst neglecting their impact on everyday life. The relationship between the significance of work for women's quality of life and self‐identification, and women's withdrawal from the public has, however, remained under‐explored. Based on data obtained through correspondence and in‐depth interviews in Mecklenburg‐Westpommerania, this paper aims to address this relationship by discussing women's work‐related experiences before and since unification
