| In 1998 Kathryn Kish Sklar, Anja Schüler, and Susan Strasser published an edited collection of documents, Social Justice Feminists in the United States and Germany: A Dialogue in Documents, 1885–1933, which featured, among other sources, correspondence between Jane Addams and Alice Salomon (once called the "German Jane Addams"). The introduction to that edited collection served as an English-language foretaste to this one. Frauenbewegung und soziale Reform lives up to its placement in the series of transatlantic historical studies. Dual biographies of Jane Addams and Alice Salomon, one complete life story following another, form the basis for this exploration of ideas and practices of reform in the United States and Germany, as well as a hint at the personal contacts that sustained them. |
