Description

This work provides an introduction to women's experience of modernism and urbanization in Weimar Germany. It shows women as active participants in artistic, social and political movements and documents the wide range of their responses to the multifaceted urban culture of Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s. It examines a variety of media, ranging from scientific writings to literature and the visual arts, tracing gender discourses as they developed to make sense of and regulate emerging images of femininity. Besides treating films such as "Metropolis" and "Berlin: Symphony of a Great City", the articles discuss other forms of mass culture, including the fashion industry and the revue performances of Josephine Baker. The emphasis on women's critical involvement in the construction of their own modernity illustrates the Weimar cultural experience and its relevance to contemporary gender, German film and cultural studies.
