Louise Otto-Peters (1819-1895; LO) is one of the most eminent feminists in 19th century Germany, who shaped the first womens movement with her ideas and initiatives. Nevertheless, her visions for the emancipation of women have not yet been researched thoroughly. This is especially true for the Genius trilogy, comprising Der Genius des Hauses (1869), Der Genius der Menschheit im Dienste der Humanität (1870) and Der Genius der Natur. Harmonien der Natur zu dem Frauenleben der Gegenwart (1871). Although LO stressed that these books accurately reflect her views on the question of womens rights, the trilogy has so far been neglected by academia or caused bewilderment. Hence, the intended source studies investigate the Genius trilogy comprehensively for the first time, and seek to situate it in the context of LO work. They are meant to prepare a special study on LO visions for womens emancipation.The Genius trilogy is researched with regard to the following issues: the precise context in which the books were written, their intentions, their target audience, the depicted visions of womens emancipation, the discernable strategies of justifying these visions, and their specific medial representation. The scholarly assessment of the trilogy is based on a comparative analysis of its main propositions and intentions, and those formulated in LO other writings. Owing to my own extensive preliminary work in the field, I compare my findings with the results of my studies on Das Recht der Frauen auf Erwerb and Frauenleben im Deutschen Reich. Special attention will be paid to the topoi of education, work, independence, self-help, and the Ewig-Weibliche. Moreover, the interrelation between worldly, philosophical, religious, and other means of producing sense will be studied. On the basis of LO leading articles and reviews in Neue Bahnen, the publication of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Frauenverein (ADF), I research which contemporary views she contemplated and which socio-economic, political and other developments she observed whilst working on the Genius trilogy. Methodically, the studies are conducted in accordance with the notion of gender as a category of inequality that functions as marker, resource and tracer. Additionally, they are based upon reflections on the intersectionality of gender and the concept of popular history.The source studies contribute to the scholarly exploration of the history of feminist thought, of LO role in the global history of feminism and of bourgeois non-hierarchical conceptualisations of gender in the 19th century. They also have a socio-political agenda. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of ADF foundation in October 2015, the findings can enrich public debate by providing new insights into the association visions for the emancipation of women. The ADF, led by LO, marks the beginning of an organised womens movement in Germany.

路易丝·奥托-彼得斯（Louise Otto-Peters，1819-1895; LO）是19世纪世纪德国最杰出的女权主义者之一，她的思想和行动塑造了第一次妇女运动。然而，她对妇女解放的愿景尚未得到彻底研究。《天才三部曲》（Genius trilogy）尤其如此，包括《家庭的天才》（Der Genius des Hauses，1869年）、《人类的天才》（Der Genius der Menschelim Dienste der Humanität，1870年）和《自然的天才》（Der Genius der Natur，1870年）。Harmonien der Natur zu dem Frauenleben der Gegenwart（1871）.虽然罗康瑞强调，这三本书准确地反映了她对妇女权利问题的看法，但这三部曲一直被学术界忽视或引起困惑。因此，本文首次对《天才三部曲》进行了全面的研究，并试图将其置于LO作品的背景下进行分析。对《天才》三部曲的研究涉及以下几个问题：这三本书写作的确切背景、它们的意图、它们的目标读者、所描绘的妇女解放愿景、证明这些愿景的可辨别的策略以及它们的具体媒介表现。对三部曲的学术评估是基于对其主要主张和意图的比较分析，以及LO其他作品中的那些内容。由于我自己在这一领域进行了大量的初步工作，我将我的发现与我对《妇女在战争中的权利》和《德国妇女生活赖希》的研究结果进行了比较。将特别关注教育，工作，独立，自助和Ewig-Weibliche的主题。此外，世俗的，哲学的，宗教的，和其他方式的生产意义之间的相互关系将被研究。在LO领先的文章和评论的基础上，在新Bahnen，德国妇女联合会（ADF）的出版物，我的研究，当代的观点，她考虑和社会经济，政治和其他发展，她观察到，而工作的天才三部曲。这些研究是按照性别作为一种不平等类别的概念进行的，具有标志、资源和追踪的功能。此外，他们是基于对性别的交叉性和流行的历史概念的反思。源研究有助于学术探索的女性主义思想史，LO在全球女性主义的历史和资产阶级的非等级概念化的性别在世纪的作用。他们也有一个社会政治议程。在2015年10月ADF成立150周年之际，调查结果可以丰富公众辩论，为协会解放妇女的愿景提供新的见解。由LO领导的ADF标志着德国有组织的妇女运动的开始。
