Abstract

Heidrun Zettelbauer’s dissertation examines the relationship between gender and nation in the peoples’ discourses of the Habsburg monarchy between 1880 and 1918. Using publications from clubs and organizations, she convincingly proves the manner in which gender-specific ascriptions were solidified and perpetuated by the nationalist movement. Concurrently, the movement was dependant upon the integration of women, which gave women the possibility of politically operating within the organization. They thus undermined the bourgeois understanding of female subjectivity.
