Display of Women in Caricatures at the Beginning of the 20th CenturyDeveloped by Carl von Ossietzky Universität (DE)
The Essay "Display of Women in Caricatures at the Beginning of the 20th Century" has been developed by the National Workgroup of the Carl Von Ossietzky University (click here to access the information on the Workgroup). The Essay analyzes the female caricatures that contain the image of the “emancipated woman.” The research topic has a long tradition. There are investigations that look at images from the 15th and 16th century. The caricatures that are addressed in this essay originate from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. During this time, the German Reich (as it was called back then) experienced the so-called first women’s movement. On the one hand, there will always be a “look back” at earlier times to determine the similarities and differences regarding how women are/were presented. Furthermore, the topic of “women’s liberation” is still relevant, e.g. in light of the current financial and economic crises where some social-political figures debate on how women can be “steered back” into the reproductive realm.
