 World War 1 and the social and political revolutions that followed brought about a fundamental change in inter-human relationships: “the old forms of love are dead” (WF 1933 [GK 173]). The time-honored conventions of binding the “world powers” love and sex into culturally stable forms through the mediating power of Eros have become obsolete and there are no non-anachronistic conceptions of woman and gender relations to turn to. The contemporary woman has become metaphysically homeless (WF 1933 [GK 163], “Das Frauenproblem in der gegenwärtigen Welt”, 146 and 151 and MW). For Susman, this is the most formidable challenge: women are forced to imagine themselves anew in a world marked by radical change. In this time of transition, they must create themselves by reimagining love and sex through an engagement with Eros of an unprecedented form (WF 1933 [GK 173]; “Das Frauenproblem”, and MW). In 1933, on the eve of the demise of the Weimar Republic, Susman writes that the women’s movement no longer exists in its original form, having transformed into the common project shared by women and men alike to bring about a human renewal. In a changed world this no longer means submission to the design of a male vision: “Men design the ways; women walk them. It is her way to walk the way herself” (WF 1933 [GK 177]).
