May 1979 Newsletter

WOMEN IN GERMAN

Number 19                                                             May 5, 1979

Membership/subscription fee: $5.00 ($2.00 if unemployed or student)

Again we urge you to share your experiences with Women in German—this time with a new focus on survival as a working woman. We are not only interested in experiences of women actively involved or soon to be involved in the German teaching discipline, but also in responses from women who have found or are searching for job alternatives to the current employment dilemma. We propose starting a column in the newsletter, "Dear Wiggy", devoted to these experiences. By reading your contributions we would become aware of your experi­ences, which would educate, encourage and strengthen us. We could learn, moreover, of factors or practices that either hinder or prevent women from working according to their qualifications, and if feasible, ways to challenge or change these conditions. We think it fitting to urge all readers to see that affirmative action guidelines be followed so that women are hired and are not forced to take teaching positions most economically in­secure and less likely to promote research and the teaching of advanced courses. So send us your experiences in the spirit of seeking to assure equal advancement of women in the field, and, if applicable, in other areas of work.

Within the same context of survival, we would like to draw your attention to the recent attack on the women’s house for battered women in West Berlin. Such incidents indicate a growing violent trend which threatens womens’ achievements not only in the FRG but also in Europe. We refer here to the March issue of Emma and our summary of the West Berlin in­cident in this newsletter. Although we must recognize these harsh realities, let us not get discouraged, but rather share our experiences for purposes of learning and of furthering and retaining better working and living conditions for women.

Please send us short reviews of texts which you think would be of interest to our readership.

OF CURRENT INTEREST

"Schneewittchen" — FEMINIST SONG GROUP              .

"Schneewittchen” is the name of a newly formed West German feminist song group composed of Jazz singer Angi Domdey, Bruni Regenbogen, Rotraut Colberg and Anka Hauter. The strength of the new group, whose music is written for and by women, is demonstrated in the devotion of their energies toward writing their own texts, composing and arranging the music, and planning of concerts and touring schedules themselves. The group explains their rather curious name in that "Schneewittchen" is a typical female figure, who lies in state, helpless and passive in her beauty, and waits for Prince Charming to arrive on the scene to gave her. Through their music they are'summoning all the Snow Whites of the world to liberate themselves from passivity and to destroy the coffins in which they lie.

-2-

The group is another exciting and encouraging contribution to women’s culture. A song on their first LP, "namenlose Frauen", is one example of the many aspects of our lives about which they sing. In this song they formulate a feminist perspective of the past and the present. "Ihr Schwestern, wie habt ihr gelebt/ was wissen wir denn von euch?/ Wo ist die Geschichte der Frauen/ wo ist unsere Vergangenheit/ Die Fetzen unserer Geschichte/ werden wir zusammensetzen/ Denn wissen wir, auch, was wir tun."

(Schneewittchen: zerschlag deinen gläsernen sarg. Frauenmusik - lieder Philips-phonogram 1978. LP Nr. 6 305 387).

HÄUTUNGEN -- TRANSLATED

Häutungen, by Verena Stefan, rapidly became a best seller in the West German feminist movement and public at large. Two Milwaukee women, Beth Weckmueller and Johanna Moore, cooperatively translated the novel, which they entitled Shedding . In an interview pub­lished in the Milwaukee Journal, they discussed the collective process and some of the difficulties this entailed. Instead of alternating chapters, Weckmueller and Moore trans­lated the entire book together, line by line, chapter by chapter. They considered this advantageous since Moore’s native language is German and Weckmueller’s is English. Whereas Weckmueller was able to arrive at "trendy" English expressions that corresponded to the language which Stefan used, Moore was able to understand the original German in far greater depth and with more attention to the subtitles. Nonetheless, a German dictionary, English dictionary, thesaurus and German-English dictionary were the translators’ constant com­panion.

Still, translating is more than processing a book word by word; it is in itself a crea­tive process. Shedding demanded a great deal of its translators, since Stefan not only wrote about feminism but also broke down the language to show its inherent patriarchal structure. Weckmueller offered an English comparison of Stefan’s word break-down in the example of the word humanity. If it were a German word, Stefan would spell it hu man ity, to emphasize (the word man) a masculine word used as the base of a term meant to include both sexes. The English version contains nothing comparable, as the publishers, Daughters Press, insisted that the novel maintain accessibility and the translators avoid playing with the language.

The West German women’s movement is younger and more radical, and lacks the mainstream middle class which one finds in America. The result of this radical young group, is a more philosophical, esoteric writing, like Shedding. The translators noted that lesbianism, discussed in the book, has received little attention by the women’s movement in West Germany. The author’s conclusion on interpersonal relationships is stated in these terms: "Are you going to invest in this relationship without any returns?" In her relationship with the men in the novel, the main character had to expend incredible energy just in order to bring them to point zero. However, with women there were certain things that could be taken for granted without so much effort, stated Weckmueller.

The novel’s title gave the translators some problems. The literal translation of the German title is "molting", which refers to a snake losing its skin and was used to describe the gradual process of shedding the layers of sexism and self-destructive behavior, so that the real self can emerge. After some hesitation, Weckmueller and Moore settled on "Shedding" as the title at the suggestion of the American publisher.

GERMAN AMERICAN WOMEN AUTHORS

Lisa Kahn, "Contemporary German -American Women Authors: A Survey"
Schatzkammer, Vol. IV No. 1 (Fall, 1978)

Much has been said and written about German-American male writers, but women authors have been neglected. This paper surveys the content, language and style of the works of seventeen contemporary German-American women writers in an effort to stimulate interest in these authors and their publications. These women, though living in the United States, still write in German. Some of them are not well known. Despite the difficulties inher­ent in the situation of living in a foreign country however, almost all of these authors have published books.

The names of these 17 women are: Helen Adolf, Franzi Ascher-Nash, Maria Berl-Lee, Christa Carvajal, Ruth Selke Eisler, Nimi Grossberg, Lisa Kahn, Helene Kastinger-Riley, Lily Korber Grave, Margarete Kollisch, Anna Krommer, Vera Lachmann, Erika Metzger, Use Pracht-Fitzell, Margot Scharpenberg, Christiane Seiler and Gertrud Urzidil. Lisa Kahn’s paper contains an annotated bibliography.

NEW BOOK

In answer to our announcement in Courage concerning our search for womens’ manuscripts, Rosmarie Brupbacher from Basel, Switzerland, sent us some information on the book Deutschland mir graut vor Dir by her friend Gunild Regine Winter (pseudonym). We’ll publishe the complete entry of this new book, as soon as we can find it.

Gunild R. Winter (Gunild Feigenwinter) herself is author of the feminist newspaper Die Hexenpresse. Together with Rosmarie Brupbacher, whe is active in the Frauenforum in Munich. One of the most important tasks of the forum is to build a political feminist party fighting for such basic rights as equal pay for equal work, abortion, pay for housework and childcare.

It is these issues upon which Gunild R. Winter reflects in her new book. She complains moreover that mothers are either not represented or remain underrepresented in womens’ literature of the FRG. Some of the poems about women and mothers refer directly to stories published in Per Spiegel. They question sharply the position of the influencial Spiegel on womens* rights and on their economic situation, particularly in connection with Spiegel's coverage of the court case of Emma against the pornographic covers of the family magazine Stern.

GEWALT GEGEN FRAUEN: EMMA 3 (1979), 16-17.

In der Nacht vom 24. auf den 25. Januar 1979 wurde ein Anschlag auf das Frauenhaus in Berlin verübt. 70 Frauen und 45 Kinder hätten der Brandstiftung zum Opfer fallen können . . Die Schreckensnachricht rüttelt schlummernde und fast vergessene Gefühle der Angst wieder wach. Das lähmende Gefühl der Hilfslosigkeit, des Ausgesetztseins, der Unterlegenheit, der Verwundbarkeit nistet sich wieder ein.

-4-

Nach Gutachten der Kriminalpolizei ist die ’versuchte schwere Brandstiftung’ das Werk eines Mannes, dessen Ehefrau ’’entlaufen” ist und der ’’seiner Frau eins auswischen will.” Trivialisierung eines Mordanschlages. Und mehr noch, stillschweigendes Einvernehmen und Akzeptieren von Brutalität. "Wenn eine Frau wegläuft, kann man doch verstehen, daß man wild wird.”

Der Sachschaden ist erheblich; nach ersten Schätzungen 20 000 bis 30 000 DM. Aber welche Rolle spielt Geld angesichts der steten körperlichen Bedrohung und physischen Schmä­hungen, denen die Frauen ausgeliefert sind. Und darüberhinaus macht das Wissen um das Desinteresse der lieben Mitbürger das Leben der Frauen im Frauenhaus nicht leichter.

MEETING

The National Women’s Studies Association will hold its First National Convention at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, from May 30 to June 3, 1979. More than 1,500 feminist educators in a wide variety of fields and disciplines are expected to attend this first con­vention since the founding of the association in San Francisco in January 1977. The NWSA is dedicated to promoting feminist education on all levels and in every educational setting. The association is also determined to represent the interest of its diverse constituencies: third world women, lesbians, students, staff, K-12, and community college teachers. Because womens’ studies is interdisciplinary, this is the perfect opportunity for women in German to integrate feminist theory and information from numerous disciplines into the study and teaching of German language, literature and culture. If our feminist vision is to grow and develop strength, it is imperative that we make connections with feminist educators and thinkers both within and beyond the boundaries of German. We also have much to offer others from our own discipline. For further information about the NWSA or the conference, write to NWSA, Univ. of Maryland, College Park Md. 20742. There is a sliding fee scale and no one will be excluded from membership because of inability to pay. Membership in the NWSA makes you a member of the regional division of the association. In the most recent (Winter 1979) issue of the Women!s Studies Newsletter (published four times a year and part of what you get for joining) there are several articles fo interest to German studies: "Women’s Studies in W. Germany: Community vs. Academy” by Tobe Levin; reports on West German Feminist Book publishing; essays about Emma and Courage, and poetry by two German feminists.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Sandra Dijkstra and Phyllis Boring will chair a workshop on "Women’s studies in the foreign languages” at the MLA Convention, 1979 in San Francisco. The workshop is arranged by the MLA Commission on the Status of Women in the Profession in conjunction with a forum concerning international perspectives on feminist criticism. Proposed papers should treat one of the following subjects: 1) Development of inter-departmental courses 2) Strategies for incorporating women’s studies within traditional foreign language departments or com­parative literature departments 3) Application of feminist criticism to given foreign literatures. Interested respondents should send a 500-word abstract and the syllabus of any

WIG CONFERENCE

1979 Workshop: The Fourth Annual Women in German Workshop has been scheduled for October 12-14, 1979 at the Siena Center in Racine, Wisconsin. The conference site is easily accessible: about 15 minutes by car from the Milwaukee airport, about an hour’s drive from Chicago’s O’Hare. The Center is situated directly on Lake Michigan, with spacious grounds ideal for walks, jogging, etc. —there’s even a tennis court! Total cost of this weekend, including private rooms and all meals, will be approximately $35.00.

We would like to remind all prospective contributors that the format of the 1979 WIG conference calls for prepared discussion topics instead of finished scholarly papers which are read to an audience. We would like to change the standard presentation style in favor of a more informal, collective method of dealing with these topics.

Participants and contributions are invited for the following sessions. Please send contributions to the coordinators whose names are underlined c/o the newsletter. A call for papers for the pedagogy workshop follows this announcement.

1) WOMEN IN GERMAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE PRIOR TO 1800 (Session coordinators: Jill McDonald, Gabriele Strauch, Judy McAlister Hermann)

-7-                                   .

2) WOMEN AND AESTHETICS (Session coordinators: Biddy Martin, Leslie Adelson)

This workshop is understood as an extension of last year’s theoretical discussion of feminist writing. We would like to explore in more depth the relationship between formal technique and the 'meaning' of a text.

Comments might therefore address the question of language as it functions in a specific work or for a specific writer, or the question of narrative technique, also in relation to a specific work or writer. We encourage various critical approaches to these questions in the hope that different theoretical approaches to feminist writing will be represented.

3) FEMINIST PEDAGOGY (Session coordinators: Charlotte K. Smith, Gail Hankins)

4) LESBIAN THEMES IN GERMAN LITERATURE (Session coordinators: Miriam Frank, Evelyn Beck)

Prepared comments should be limited to 15 minutes to allow time for clarification and discussion.

There will also be an informal group discussion, coordinated by Judith Scheid and Helen Fehervary on Friday evening, concerning PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SURVIVAL AS A WOMAN GERMANIST, and Naomi Stephan and Nancy Vedder-Schults are working on a Saturday evening presentation dealing with WOMEN’S CULTURE—suggestions and contributions to these are also welcomel Collective projects and informal presentations are particualarly en­couraged.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Following the request of many friends of Dr. Betty Weber around the contry, the Department of Germanic Languages at the University of Texas has established a Betty Nance Weber Memorial Fund in her honor and memory.

The present purpose is to provide clerical assistance in the preparation of various docu­mentary materials left by Betty for research and to assist in the completion of her work in progress. Beyond this objective, the appropriate use of the fund will depend on the amount contributed and will be determined by a committee of her friends and colleagues.

For the time being Janet Swaffar, Walter Wetzels and Edgar Polome will administer the fund with the help of Betty’s husband Gutram. Please send contributions to:

BIBLIOGRAPHY

We need help! Ways to get involved in the bibliography of works by German women writers in translation:

1) We need help annotating the bibliography we have with short biographies of the women and brief descriptions of their work for feminists. Please let us know if you would like to work on this project and which period you would like to work in.

2) In addition, this bibliography project will be expanded to include a bibliography on women’s writing in German. We need someone who will organize this and people who will help.

At the moment it is not clear how the fruits of these efforts will be circulated. It seems likely that they will be published in some form in connection with the MLA Commission on the Status of Women.

Please address correspondence to:
