 While Susman’s approach to gender and the status of women in modern culture and society had initially been framed in Of the Meaning of Love (1912), which was discussed in section 3, above, her thinking on these subjects developed during WWI, the Weimar Republic, and afterwards, in their wake, as the debate on gender and women underwent radical changes. Starting with “Die Revolution und die Frau” (1918 [NFF 117–128]), a number of essays reflect her increasing attention to the political dimension of these concerns, whose particular cultural implications she further explores in Frauen der Romantik (Women of the Romantic Period, 1929) and Deutung einer grossen Liebe: Goethe und Charlotte von Stein (Interpretation of a Great Love: Goethe and Charlotte von Stein, 1951).
