A.T.Allen’s book, Feminism and Motherhood in Germany, 1800-1914, looks at the growth of the feminist movement within Germany, and especially how this movement was grounded in maternal values. The book is divided into two sections. The first half focuses on the origins of the feminist movement while the second deals with the broad scope this movement began to have, and the development of radical feminism. The book is chronological, thus allowing readers to understand the development of feminist thought, and its context, very clearly.
