German Women for Empire, 1884-1945

"This stunningly original and important book will define scholarly standards and inspire other studies for a long time to come. Wildenthal probes the nexus of German women's history and colonial politics more deeply, more extensively, and more systematically than any other piece of scholarship I know."--Leslie A. Adelson, author of "Making Bodies, Making History: Feminism and German Identity"

Lora Wildenthal

"Wildenthal tells an important set of stories about the implication of white women in the modern imperial enterprise. This book will become a must-read for German historians, students of feminism, modern women, and empire and reform movements; as well as a model for how to do colonial women's history."--Antoinette Burton, author of "At the Heart of Empire: Indians and the Colonial Encounter in Late-Victorian Britain"
