What is the true role of the German woman? Is she destined to be merely a servant to patriarchal expectations, or is she a companion and equal, sharing in the grand mission of life and culture? In this provocative and insightful work, Lena Wellinghusen explores the historical, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of womanhood in German society, challenging long-standing norms and offering a vision for the future.
Written during a pivotal moment in German history, this book draws deeply from the wellspring of Germanic tradition and mythology, as well as the revolutionary ideas of Mathilde Ludendorff, one of the era's foremost thinkers. Wellinghusen illuminates the ancient roots of Germanic womanhood as celebrated in the Edda and other ancestral lore, contrasting these ideals with what she sees as the destructive influences of "Oriental" philosophies and their encroachment upon the Germanic spirit.
The German Woman is not merely a lament for a lost era but a call to action-a blueprint for how the modern German woman can reclaim her strength, dignity, and purpose. It examines topics as diverse as the oppressive influence of Christian morality, the transformative power of motherhood, and the ways in which women can contribute to the cultural and spiritual regeneration of their people.
