The Experience of German-American Women Writers in the Nineteenth Century.

This study of immigrant literature probes the effect which the double status of German-American women writers - as immigrants and as women - had on their professional lives. The author recreates the cultural context of the immigrant society during the «golden age» of its literary tradition, 1850-1890, emphasizing the sociological, economic, historical and psychological variables shaping women's professional opportunities and literary production. This analysis creates a framework in which to understand the literary lives of immigrant women writers.
