He introduces readers to the lives and works of fourteen women writers of the periodincluding Sophie von LaRoche, Sophie Mereau, Fanny Lewald, and Eugenie Marlittand argues that their novels played an important role in shaping attitudes toward class, gender, and the nation in the century preceding Germany's first unification.
