Writing the Nation and Europe. The Political Journalists Else Frobenius and Anna Siemsen, 1914-1950

两个传记研究将探讨政治和专业的机会和限制，在职业生涯的先驱记者埃尔塞弗罗贝纽斯（1875-1952年）和安娜西姆森（1882-1951年）之间的1914年和1950年从性别历史的角度。这两个女人的例子让我们分析了两个政治上活跃的德国女作家/记者在世纪上半叶的生活历程和选择，以及承认他们发展的共同点和差异。这两个女人的年龄大致相同，有着相似的社会背景和受过教育的中产阶级。两人都留下了大量的作品，并试图改变社会和政治秩序。虽然她们在体制上的地位相当，但她们的意识形态却截然相反。当弗罗贝纽斯在民族主义和后来的纳粹背景下工作时，安娜·西姆森发展了欧洲的社会主义和和平主义概念。该研究项目的目的是研究这两位妇女的生活、出版的作品和自传文本，从而为妇女和性别史、通信史、二十世纪欧洲史和文化政治史等领域做出贡献。

Two biographical studies will explore the political and professional opportunities and limitations in the careers of the pioneering journalists Else Frobenius (1875-1952) and Anna Siemsen (1882-1951) between 1914 and 1950 from a gender history perspective. The example of these two women allows us to analyze the life courses and options of two politically active German female authors/journalists in the first half of the twentieth century, as well as to acknowledge the common ground and differences in their development. The two women were roughly the same age and shared a similar social background and upbringing in the educated middle class. Both left behind a large body of work and sought to change the social and political order. Though they shared comparable institutional positions, the two women had opposite ideological orientations. While Frobenius worked in nationalist and later Nazi contexts, Anna Siemsen developed socialist and pacifist concepts of Europe. The aim of the research project is to study the two women¿s lives, published work and autobiographical texts, thereby contributing to the fields of women¿s and gender history, the history of communication, twentieth-century European history and the political history of culture.
