    A year of revolutions
    • Lewald (1811-1889), the best-selling German woman writer in the nineteenth century, proved akeen and perceptive observer of the social, artistic, and political life of her times, of which these Recollections offer an excellent example. Written from a woman's perspective, this first-hand account of the revolutions in both Germany and France must be considered a unique document. It is further enhanced by her detailed description of the Frankfurt Parliament and her relationships with many of the prominent politicians and thinkers of that eventful period.

Sie berichtete vom ersten Berliner Asyl für obdachlose Frauen, von Frauenhotels und -restaurants, Volksküchen und Dienstmädchenvereinen und wies damit der Frauensolidarität neue Wege.
