Female Desire and the Mind‐body Binary in Fin De Siècle Fiction by Hedwig Dohm, Lou Andreas‐salomé and Gabriele Reuter
In the late nineteenth century, women writers seek to emancipate the feminine subject from the plots of a phallocentric tradition which transmitted repressive models of femininity.

Women as Historians: The Case of Early Modern German Convents
While writing by nuns features extensively in the history of medieval women’s literature, almost nothing is known about nuns, or their writings, in the early modern period. It is sometimes assumed that nuns stopped writing because of the changes which convents underwent in the sixteenth century as a result of the Reformation and Counter‐Reformation.
