In Ulrike Helmer Verlag is this week - in time for International Women's Day - a new biography of Hedwig Dohm published:
Isabel Rohner: "Hide in a game of Hedwig Dohm, a biography.."
Here the press release the publisher:
Hedwig Dohm (1831-1919) is one of the main authors of the turn of the 20th Century. Even during his lifetime it was regarded as a pioneer for the modern women's movement in Germany. In 1873 she demanded voting rights for women and fought for the complete legal, social and economic equality of the sexes. Hedwig Dohm's life so far, however, remained almost entirely unexplored. Too great was the temptation to derive their life story from her novels and short stories. Also found Hedwig Dohm relationship with the family man (she was the grandmother of Katie Mann) after her death a long time more attention than her own life and work. Isabel Rohner moves this lopsided deal now sets out in the lavishly researched biography first insight into the world of Hedwig Dohm, her childhood and youth in Berlin, her marriage to journalist Ernst Dohm, her work as a writer, her friendships and networks.
