Few Mädchenbücher, however, seem to have been written by feminists who rejected both a traditional, cultural conservative ideology as well as a more radical socialist outlook. The eighteen short works of the Nietzschean feminist Elsa Asenijeff (1867–1941) that comprise Unschuld. Ein modernes Mädchenbuch (1901), illustrate her strategies in unsettling notions of Wilhelmine cultural and sexual (re)production by valorizing the creativity and radical individualism of young girls. Asenijeff’s enthusiasm for Genie and individual freedom, and her attempts to reconcile this with Nietzsche’s arguments regarding women’s biological destiny, position her as another example of the complex yet largely positive reception of Wilhelmine feminists to his teachings. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2010 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
