Progressive women writers discovered unparalleled freedoms and opportunities for intellectual agency in Germany during the long nineteenth century. Linda K. Hughes reveals how ten such writers, each of whom immersed herself in German language and culture, modelled ways of productively negotiating cultural differences that remain invaluable today.

Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Sherri Daley and Linda Hughes were college roommates in 1966-7. They've remained friends ever since, being there for each other through life's ups and downs - and more ups and downs. They've done a lot of laughing, some crying, and a fair share of reminiscing about all that's been. The impetus for this book was to share that feeling of friendship and support with other women. Every woman has a story to tell, and our friends are the most likely to appreciate hearing it. These two authors hope this book encourages women everywhere to share their stories, too.
