Presenting European views on America and American views on Europe, Trans Atlantic Perspectives explores the European and North American cultural exchanges and interactions across the Atlantic. Second in this series, Bank (American studies, Goethe U. of Frankfurt, Germany) examines the roles German-American woman played in the US women's rights movement in the mid-late 1800's. Focusing on three key figures (Mathilde Wendt, Mathilde Franziska Anneke, and Clara Neyman) this study of ethnicity and gender examines why these women's voices were excluded and how the concept of "universal sisterhood" often just applied to native-born white women. Despite these limitations, Bank celebrates the ways these "women of two countries" were regarded as powerful messengers, critics, and translators of the movement and the ways they advanced women's rights as well as cultural/ethnic interests. Intended for students and readers interested in gender and cultural studies. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
