Book Description
This book examines the lives and writings of important intellectual women, most of whom are known by small circles only and then in a foreign language. This is the first time many of them, including someone as famous (in Austria) as Kaethe Leichter, will see the light of day in English.The work shows how these women negotiated their national and Jewish identities, their intellectual interests and personal lives in the multi-cultural population of Central Europe.
