Kurzbeschreibung

Lily Braun, born to a prominent aristocratic family in 1865, became one of the leading German feminists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a very successful writer, both of feminist political tracts and of novelistic works. She played a leadership role in German feminism with such groups as the Verein Frauenwohl (Association for Women's Well-Being) and the Social Democratic Party; her efforts included lobbying for the establishment of maternity insurance and better education and housing for women. Despite her energetic activism, she came into increasing conflict with other leading socialist women - most notably Clara Zetkin - who were suspicious of her aristocratic origins and her relatively bourgeois brand of socialism. This led her to retreat from politics and pursue a longtime interest in writing with works such as the fictionalized account of her grandmother's life in Goethe's Weimar, Im Schatten der Titanen (In the Shadow of the Titans) and the later, thinly fictionalized Memoiren einer Sozialistin (Memoirs of a Socialist), based on her own life. Startlingly, by 1914 Braun was espousing nationalistic ideas 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.Ute Lischke is professor of German and co-ordinator of International Studies Programs at the University of Toronto.

Lily Braun 29. März 2001
Von Serinde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Lily Braun is today one of the most know German suffragets. Her Fraunefrage (Woman question) is an monumental work and her another works brought her in her time great popularity. An army general daughter who abandoned her family and bakame a member of a socialist party, a suffragette, pro-choice activist, pacifist, was disowned by family, lived luxury but all her life paid her fathers debts. This book comes with critical analysis of her works and show how their ideas were changing during Brauns life under different social pressure. From and radical feminist, suffragette and later socialist after her exlusion from party to devoted mother and later pro war activist.The author also shows that we cannot take everything Braun wrote as a face value beacause in her works is mixed reality and fiction (Dichtung und Warheit) What is missing, but a few pages at the biginning of the book, is a context in which she was living her life.
