Lora Wildenthal. German Women for Empire, 1884–1945. (Politics, History, and Culture.) Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press. 2001. Pp. xi, 336. Cloth $59.95, paper $19.95.

Lora Wildenthal's book on German colonialist women fits well into the new literature on European colonial empires. It places the German case at the heart of the debate and has much to say to an audience interested in the interactions and multiple exchanges between metropole and colony. Wildenthal offers a gender analysis, paying attention to the intersections of men's and women's colonial projects.

Her book takes on important questions of continuity in modern German history. . . .
