Abstract

In her book essay that surveys three centuries of cultural history, the cultural studies and literary scholar Hannelore Schlaffer uses rhetorical fireworks to coherently show that the “schooling” of women in the west is determined by binary gender regulations that always remain constant. This happens irrespective of fashionable and clearly defined gender differences such as those in existence at the beginning of the bourgeois era, in the “masculinization” of the woman as “Knäbin” or literally “boyish woman” since the 20s, or in the integration of femininity in youth subcultures such as punk. Hannelore Schlaffer is able to prove that even the ideals of female education follow fashionable developments.
