The mask and the quill: actress-writers in Germany from Enlightenment to Romanticism by Mary Helen Dupree
Call Number: Clapp Library PT167 .D87 2011

German voices: memories of life during Hitler's Third Reich by Frederic C. Tubach with Sally Patterson Tubach
Call Number: Clapp Library DD256.6 .T83 2011
In this extraordinary book, Frederic C. Tubach interviews average Germans who, like him, came of age between 1933 and 1945. Tubach sets their recollections and his own memories into a broad historical overview of Nazism--a regime that shaped minds through persuasion (meetings, Nazi Party rallies, the 1936 Olympics, the new mass media of radio and film) and coercion (violence and political suppression).
The masculine woman in Weimar Germany [e-book] by Sutton, Katie
Sutton (U. of Melbourne) explores representations of the "masculine woman" in the print press of Weimar Germany, arguing that various female figures understood as masculinized ("the sophisticated Garconne, the muscular female athlete, or the 'virile' homosexual woman") functioned alternately as ideological template, role model, interpretive lens, and scapegoat for German audiences anxious about female emancipation, the role of women in the world of work, or changing gender roles in the family.
