| Summary | "The Modern Woman's Rights Movement: A Historical Survey" by Käthe Schirmacher is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the woman’s rights movement across various countries, emphasizing its evolution and the key figures involved in the struggle for women's rights. Schirmacher not only documents the historical progress but also advocates for women's political rights, implying a political nuance to her historiography. The opening of the book begins with a preface that reflects on the early historical context of the modern woman’s rights movement, particularly its organized nature compared to previous protests against oppression. Schirmacher discusses the movement's roots, noting that it emerged predominantly among middle-class women in the Germanic countries before spreading internationally, especially in the United States. She details the formation of pivotal organizations and alliances such as the International Council of Women and Women's Suffrage Alliances, which highlight the coordinated efforts to advocate for women's suffrage and educational rights globally. The chapter outlines the political landscape of the movement and sets the stage for a more detailed exploration of its growth in various cultural contexts.
