This first book-length biography with discussions of select writings by Luise B�chner (1821-1877) draws on her commentary of events available in letters and writings. A close reading of B�chner's fictional writings reveals that she both entertained and educated her readers. Her pedagogical messages correspond to ideas she promoted in her work on the woman question . This in-depth study properly situates her in the changing cultural climate and socio-political developments that led to unification of the German states in 1871. B�chner tested and revised her thoughts on the woman question in the course of her practical work as a co-founder of local women's associations and as a member of two competing national bourgeois women's organizations. Her voice and temperament, as reflected in letters and articles not consulted by previous biographers, lead to surprising discoveries about a single woman whose life had more to offer than the narrowly prescribed roles assigned to middle-class women of her day.

The Author: Cordelia Scharpf received her B.A. in American Studies from Scripps College, her M.A. in American Studies and Modern German Literature from the Free University in Berlin, Germany, her certificate to teach German as a foreign language (DaF) from the Humboldt University in Berlin, and her Ph.D. in German Studies with a minor in Women's Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has been an independent scholar since 2003, and her current research interests include writings by members of the nineteenth-century German women's movement as well as their contacts with German-American women.
