Energie, Lebensbejahung, Arbeitsbejahung, und weckt
unbegrenzte Gefühle der Verehrung und Hochachtung
in jedem geistig ringenden Menschen. Die Namen
einiger Frauen: Dr. Alice Salomon, Direktorin der So¬
zialen Frauenschule Berlin; Dr. Rhoda Erdmann, Prof.
der mediz. Fakultät Berlin; Dr. Elise Richter, Prof, der
philos. Fakultät Wien; Mary Allen, Kommandantin der
Frauenpolizei London; Dr. Woker, Dozenzin für Bio¬
logie Bern; A. Kollontay, Gesandte; Selma Lagerlöf,
Schriftstellerin. Allen diesen Frauen gemeinsam — und
das ist sehr auffallend — ist das tatkräftige Eintreten
für die Gedanken des Friedens und der Freiheit, z. T.
aktive Teilnahme an internationalen geistigen Bewegun¬
gen und am Völkerbund. Selbstverständlich, daß ihre
Lebensbeschreibungen reiche Lebenserfahrung geben,
ohne den warmen Ton menschlicher Nähe zu verlieren.
Das Werk wird so zum aufrüttelnden Erziehungsbuch
für junge Menschen. Unter der Oberfläche, ganz neben¬
bei, erhält man als Zugabe ein sehr mannigfaltiges Bild
europäischer Bürgerhäuser des ausgehenden 10. Jahr¬
hunderts.
