Born in Prague to Jewish parents and raised in Vienna, she became a literary presence with her 1902 novel Fanny Roth. Influenced by many of her contemporaries, she also criticized their notions of gender and sexuality. Relocating to Berlin, she continued to write fiction and began publishing on sexology and the women's movement. Helga Thorson's book combines a literary-cultural exploration of modernism in Vienna and Berlin with a biography of Meisel-Hess and a critical analysis of her works. Focusing on Meisel-Hess's negotiations of feminism, modernism, and Jewishness, it illustrates the dynamic interplay between gender, sexuality, and race/ethnicity in Austrian and German modernism. Analyzing Meisel-Hess's fiction as well as her sexological studies, Thorson argues that Meisel-Hess posited herself as both a "New Woman" and the writer of the "New Woman." The book draws on extensive archival research that uncovered new sources including an unpublished drama, letters scattered in various collections across Europe, and Meisel-Hess's medical history. Until now there have been only limited secondary sources about Meisel-Hess, most containing errors and omissions regarding her biography. This is the first book on Meisel-Hess in English"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Meisel-Hess, Grete, $d 1879-1922 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Women authors, German $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a German literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Feminist literature $z Germany $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z Germany. 650 0 $a Sexology $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Thorson, Helga. $t Grete Meisel-Hess $d Rochester, New York : Camden House, 2022 $z 9781800106505 $w (DLC) 2022010251 830 0 $a Women and gender in German studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018165058 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907012237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F84B99661BC411EE999F3EC24CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
