AbstractIn Wallach's 8 page article, she discusses the large holes in the history of German-Americans re contributions and achievements of German-American women. She cites the documentation of Anna Ottendorfer's life as the exception and continues to fill in those holes by providing a general social history, highlighting the difficulties of such a generalization, and calling for further research. She focusses on the image of the German "Hausfrau," "Dienstmaedchen," and the status of German women as seen by other Americans (and vice-versa).
