Germany's first §democracy, the §Weimar Republic, §affected every §aspect of life, §particularly for §women, who were §granted such rights §as the right to §vote and equal pay §for equal work. §These rapid §advancements §combined with a §strong economy and §an increasing §interest in popular §culture, such as §movies and sports, §made possible the §media creation of §the New Woman. §This book discusses §four major works of §the period--two §dramas by Ernst §Toller and two §novels by Irmgard §Keun--in terms of §their portrayal of §gender, both of §traditional §masculinity and §femininity and of §newer attitudes §brought out in the §period of the Neue §Sachlichkeit. The §analysis will §explore what made §the New Woman "new" §and the reasons why §she was never a §reality for most §German women. This §book should be §useful to those §interested in §German history, §literature, and §women's studies.
