Laura Marholm

  • ... that works by the German writer Laura Marholm were part of "feminist literary criticism" known as gynocriticism, 70 years before the term was coined? From Darwin to Weil: Women as Transmitters of Ideas Page 75: "Nordic authors are thus central to Laura Morholm's introduction of what came to be known, 70 years later, as the two strands of feminist literary criticism - 'Images Of Woman Criticism' and 'Gynocritics': the analysis of recurrent themes and experiences in works by women.

  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but it's not clear to me what kind of works she produced. Was it fiction? Essays? Literary criticism? Polemic? This sentence doesn't make sense to me: Marholm's book Wir Frauen and unsere Dichter, which was published in 1895, was about women and what was considered masculine, by examining works that were written by men. Do you mean: Marholm's book Wir Frauen and unsere Dichter, which was published in 1895, examined works that were written by men to determine what was considered masculine about women? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:15, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah I can fix that sentence, but I thought I made it clear that it was literary criticism, non-fiction works with biographies, and fiction. SL93 (talk) 23:18, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @SL93: well, I read the article several times and none of that was clear to me. Yoninah (talk) 23:20, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: I think I made it clearer. SL93 (talk) 23:24, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @SL93: Could you describe the type of writing she did in the lead? Yoninah (talk) 23:26, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: I think I fixed that issue. I also propose ALT1 ... that some works by the German writer Laura Marholm were part of "feminist literary criticism" known as gynocriticism, 70 years before the term was coined? I feel like that would be better because that isn't all that she wrote. SL93 (talk) 23:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
