| Abstract | The author takes a look at "Women's lives in New York City..." around 1900 by analyzing the women's pages of the city's two most important German-language papers. For different reasons the conservative, middle-class-oriented New Yorker Staats-Zeitung and the socialist New Yorker Volkszeitung -- the official organ of the Socialist Labor Party -- persevered in the traditional female role models. Both papers responded to their female readers' daily concerns, which were -- regardless of class differences --primarily based on the difficult processes of acculturation. While the StZ saw a woman's assignment and fulfillment in the Hausfrau role, the VZ saw drudgery in house work and stressed socialist class consciousness. |
