Nevertheless, despite the difficulties, the sense that this is a work barely begun, it is refreshing to find a feminist critic who is a Germanist and comparatist by training. Until very recently, there has been far too little interest on the part of German literary theorists in feminist aesthetics and the riches it holds; there has indeed been no major theoretical study since Silvia Bovenschen's 1979 volume. The fact that the great majority of feminist aestheticians are American also does not help focus on the work that is now being done in West Germany; it is rare that German feminist critics are even known outside of their geographical boundaries. Inta Ezergailis' study is thus all the more welcome.
