EXCERPT:
"Hedwig Dohm was in the decades around 1900 the largest German authors. She wrote novels and plays, was also a successful journalist, already called 1873 the voting rights for women. Their struggle for the legal, social and economic equality of the sexes has, unfortunately, have not lost much of its relevance. Her journalistic work continues to this day strikingly varied and fresh.
(...)
Rohner shows where there are gaps in the research, ask questions, find the answers are still missing sees her biography as the current state of research.
At a time when women still earn almost a quarter less than men, and some of this still just a "feel Dohm's claim is "more pride, their women," as relevant as in her lifetime.
Rohner's biography makes you want to use the texts of Hedwig Dohm, their analysis and their brilliant wit "
