Abstract

Ann Taylor Allen discusses a chapter of German history which has been neglected both by scholars investigating the historiography of the feminist movement and by scholars in the field of education. Analysing the interpendencies between the feminist movement and Fröbel’s pedagogy, Allen’s book focuses on the period between 1800 and 1914 and aims to pay a tribute to these “fighters for motherhood” who tend to be perceived as having belonged to politically conservative groups.
