Revolution Der Frauen

Women's emancipation is one of the major revolutions of the western world. In this volume, Michael Salewski traces the history of this revolution through philosophy and art, medicine and psychology, even into pornography, demonstrating that the change is much more profound than a narrow view of Women's liberation movements would make us think. He studies the influence of famous personalities as well as that of "regular" women and details the resistance and counterstrategies of a male establishment that increasingly feels threatened. The result is a fascinating overview of a fundamental change, the outcome of which is still uncertain. German text.
