Professor Dorothea Stuecher's study of German-American women writers represents an important contribution to German-American Studies in general, and especially to our understanding of women writers in the cultural context of the German-American community. In particular it provides unique insight into the work of Therese Robinson, Mathilde Anneke and Kathinka Sutro-Schücking. Stuecher's work is essential for those interested in German-American literary history. (Don Heinrich Tolzmann, University of Cincinnati) Dorothea Diver Stuecher's book allows German-American women writers realistical ly complex identities and thereby enlivens our understanding of the female, the immigrant, and the artist experience in the 19th-century United States. (Annette Atkins, Saint John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota) A ground-breaking study of the elements affecting the creativity of the authors covered. Its informed and focused interdisciplinary approach achieves an illuminating melding of each figure's distinctive and representative characteristics within her social, cultural, and economic setting. (Albert Tezla, Professor Emeritus of English, University of Minnesota, Duluth author/compiler of 'Somewhere in a Distant Fabled Land: American-Hungarians, 1895-1920', 1987) ...an excellent beginning to this series. In addition to addressing an important topic well, Stuecher does German-American literary scholarship a service by including a selected list of German-American female authors writing between 1850 and 1890 and the synopses of fifteen works by the three authors she discusses. (Linda Schelbitzki Pickle, German Studies Review) She has certainly succeeded in her attempt to provide us with new insights into the German-American community of the 19th century from the female perspective. For anyone interested in this subject, this book can be highly recommended. (Hera T. Leighton, Women in German) Stuecher's book is not only interesting, it also constitutes a significant contribution to the field of German-American literature. The author has succeeded in relating both the positive and negative sides of the German-American woman author's career. ...it can be noted that 'Twice Removed' is not only useful for the German-American scholar, but also for anyone interested in immigrant, specifically women's immigrant literature.
