The New Woman: Gretchen, Girl, Garçonne

Who was the New Woman, and how was she received? The New Woman embodies the complex nature of Weimar Germany—a society thriving with culture yet paralyzed by uncertainty. A paradox herself, the New Woman is a dramatic illustration of both liberation and lasting discrimination, independence and anxiety. Join your friends at the DANK Haus and invited panelists for a critical analysis of gender representations in Weimar media. From film to fashion, newspapers to novels, we will examine a variety of female archetypes and consider their role in reflecting the social, political, and economic climate of the Weimar era.

Please note, this event is at 7:00pm Central Time. It is free and will be held on Zoom. You will receive the Zoom login the day before the event or day-of. Please email rosa@dankhaus.com with any questions.
