Book Reluctant Feminists in German Social Democracy  1885 1917

Download or read book Reluctant Feminists in German Social Democracy 1885 1917 written by Jean H. Quataert and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the convergence of socialism and feminism in the German labor movement around the turn of the century, Jean Quataert probes the competing identities and loyalties of class and sex and the problems their adherents faced in reconciling the two. By focusing on the women's movement in particular, she expands our understanding of the German Social Democratic subculture and shows that socialist feminism was far more important than has been recognized heretofore.

    Book Details:
  • Author : Richard J. Evans
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013
  • ISBN : 0415629853
  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book The Feminists written by Richard J. Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977, this book brings together what is known about liberal feminist and socialist movements for the emancipation of women all over the world in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It deals not only with Britain and the United States but also with Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and the Scandinavian countries. The chapters trace the origins, development, and eventual collapse of these movements in relation to the changing social formations and political structures of Europe, America and Australasia in the era of bourgeois liberalism. The first part of the book discusses the origins of feminist movements and advances a model or 'ideal type' description of their development. The second part then takes a number of case studies of individual feminist movements to illustrate the main varieties of organised feminism and the differences from country to country. The third part looks at socialist women's movements and includes a study of the Socialist Women's International. A final part touches on the reason for the eclipse of women's emancipation movements in the half-century following the end of the First World War, before a general conclusion pulls together some of the arguments advanced in earlier chapters and attempts a comparison between these feminist movements of 1840-1920 and the Women's Liberation Movement.

Book Lily Braun  1865 1916

Download or read book Lily Braun 1865 1916 written by Ute Lischke and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2000 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Startlingly, by 1914 Braun was espousing nationalistic ideas similar to those that would later be taken up by the National Socialists, and had repudiated many of her long-held feminist stances. She was no longer a pacifist, and her "feminism" now encompassed racial hygiene. Lischke provides a view of both the political and the literary sides of this enigmatic figure, as well as views of the German feminism and literary trends of the period."--BOOK JACKET.
