Abstract

Wedel’s differentiated evaluation of 32 autobiographies of teaching women in 19th century Germany opens new perspectives. Wedel’s comparative and differentiating description renders clear that women teachers were much more common than previously assumed. Wedel’s analysis also includes women’s teaching outside of scholarly institutes.
