Abstract

In her dissertation, the Lausanne literary scholar Vuilleumier Pechota examines three texts by women writers from the turn of the century and how these texts depict the emancipation of daughters against all expectations of their fathers. In doing so, she sets up parallels between the situation of women and that of the Jews. Both were expected to conform to the dominant culture with the goal of assimilating to the “other.”
