| Abstract | This essay looks briefly at four subtopics of this general theme: the relation of the German immigrant community to female education, the impact of individual immigrants, the extent to which German institutions for female education served as models for the United States, and the effects in this country of German ideology about woman's capacities and proper place. It then examines in more detail two other subtopics: the impact on women in the adoption of the German university model in the late nineteenth century and the lure that advanced study in Germany exercised on American women. |
