Beschreibung:
Irmtraud Morgner (1933-90) was one of the most innovative and witty feminist writers to emerge from the GDR. Jeanette Clausen is an associate professor of German at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. She is a coeditor of German Feminism: Readings in Politics and Literature and is a past editor of Women in German Yearbook.
Set in the German Democratic Republic of the early 1970s, The Life and Adventures of Trobadora Beatrice -- a landmark novel now translated into English for the first time -- is a highly entertaining adventure story as well as a feminist critique of GDR socialism, science, history, and aesthetic theory.
