 Susman mounts her critique of the muting of the female voice on an analysis of the image of domesticated woman that male culture has created and reinforced over the centuries. First formulated in Of the Meaning of Love, Susman’s analysis of the symbolical representation of women as a form of domination is now brought into sharper focus as a “struggle about language and image” (“Frauenproblem”, 1926: 432). For Susman, the decisive response to the crisis of the time consists in women taking back and owning their own image: “The tough struggle between man’s image of the woman and of woman herself” is “the whole problem of woman” (1926: 433). This work, which, according to Susman, will ultimately determine the success of women’s movement, involves the renegotiation of the symbolic representation of the role and place of women in culture and society.
