Viac o knihe

Focusing on the evolution of secondary education for girls in nineteenth-century Germany, the study highlights the challenges women faced in accessing higher education and professional fields post-1865. By comparing these developments with those in other European nations, it reveals both commonalities and distinctive features of the German experience, including the functioning and curricula of girls' schools, opportunities for female educators, and the debates surrounding women's educational and employment rights. The book also examines the strategies employed by feminist organizations in their advocacy efforts.
