Description:
Clementine Krämer, who is relatively unknown today, was a prolific German Jewish writer and leader of the women's movement who experienced at first hand the First World War and the rise to power of the National Socialists. This book makes an important contribution to the scholarship by revealing a fresh perspective on this tumultuous time.
Review Quotes: Written over four decades, Clementine Krämer's extraordinary body of work bears witness to German history at its most turbulent and unpredictable. Krämer's writings reflect her hybrid identity as a German Jewish feminist, offering a new and unique insight into everyday life for women in early twentieth-century Germany. Corinne Painter's clearly written and thoroughly researched account of Krämer's life and work reclaims this important voice and gives scholars of literature, gender and cultural history access to an invaluable historical resource.
