This Book  The First To Examine These Movements In Depth  Discusses Their Historical Development, The Activities, Personalities, And Writings Of Their Predominantly Middleclass Members, And The Viennese Culture And Politics In Which They Flourished.Harriet Anderson Argues That The Movements Did Not Primarily Focus On Womens Rights But Were Utopian In Spirit, Seeking To Bring About The Moral Reform Of Society Through Womens Efforts. She Discusses The Numerous Womens Associations That Sprang Up At The Turn Of The Century, Groups That Focussed On Womens Education And Employment, Legal Reform, Statecontrolled Prostitution, And Antisemitism, Among Other Issues.Examining The General Austrian Womens Association In Particular, Anderson Reconstructs Its History And Describes The Ideals That Informed It, The Personal Loves And Animosities Of Its Leading Figures, And The Conflicts In Which It Engaged Up To Its Decline In The Chaos Of The First World War. Next She Critically Analyses The Feminists Theoretical Writings, Placing Them In Their Intellectual Contexts, Investigating Their Poetics, And Showing How They Were Shaped By Various Utopian Visions. Finally She Discusses The Womens Fictional Works, Identifying Two Main Groups Of Feminist Writers, One That Wrote Mainly Moral Texts Supporting The Prevalent Middleclass Code Of Conduct, And The Other That Sought To Investigate Psychological Mechanisms And Expose Deeprooted Oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ergodebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46552539922677,"sku":"DADAX0300057369","price":60.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71y3RfhttKL.jpg?v=1744368146","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/utopian-feminism-womens-movements-in-findesiecle-vienna-new-new","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
