In "Das Haus" (The House), Lou Andreas-Salomé's depiction of her female protagonists' constant vacillation between submission and self-assertion confronts her reader with the conflict feminism represented for women in early twentieth-century Germany. On the one hand, women were socialized to be wives and mothers. On the other hand, the women's movement in turn-of-the-century Germany had begun to articulate the necessity for recognizing women as independent individuals who would not be solely defined in terms of men, children, and the home. The transition from one social order to another was neither easy nor immediate, and Salomé's novel kennly reflects the psychological and social discord it prompted for many women. | |
