About this product
Product Information
This book analyses the ideas of the Swedish journalist, feminist, and literary author Elin W gner (1882-1949), as conveyed in her book V ckarklocka (1941), in a European feminist context. This context is presented in terms of three elements. Firstly, the German sociologist/educationalist Mathilde Vaerting and her sociology of power played an important role in W gner's development of a theory of matriarchy. Secondly, the influence of the Austrian feminist Rosa Mayreder and her theory of masculine civilization and feminine culture are analyzed in relation to W gner's development of what might be called an early ecological feminism. Thirdly, the mainly unknown Women's Organization for World Order (WOWO) is presented. 0s and 1930s, which wanted to strengthen women's position and confidence as political citizens by providing them with a historical past where women ruled (matriarchy). Thereby they not only reinvented a past, but also revitalized the emergence or eternity of patriarchy. These women discussed the possibility of women offering an alternative to the prevailing order. A special analysis is made of Mayreder's and W gner's way of discussing what woman is and in what ways she can challenge the system. Both argued that women ought to have the same rights and duties as men, but that this should not require them to adapt to the distorted male system. This study argues that this position, easily characterized as "essentialist" in modern feminist terms, is in fact functional and strongly emancipatory in its time and context. In this reevaluation of V ckarklocka Katarina Lepp nen has established this important Swedish novel as a text central to the development of the feminist movement. Elin W gner's Alarm Clock is a book suitable for students of Swedish Literature and European Feminism.

Reviews
By reading Elin Wägner´s Väckarklocka in an European context, rather than a purely Swedish context, which is often done, many of the ideas of the book appear clearly as part of a larger political project which entailed a re-evaluation of the prevailing social order. What Leppänen shows in Elin Wägner's Alarm Clock is that the debate on matriarchy in the 1920s and 1930s was much stronger and vital than has been known before. And that this position, often characterised negatively as "essentialism" in modern feminist terms, was, in fact, functional and strongly emancipatory in its time and context.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
