Overview

"This text argues that women's changing role in European and American society was critical to the Dada spirit and movement. Debates about birth control and suffrage, a declining male population and expanding female workforce, the emergence of the ""New Woman"", and Freudianism were among the forces that are seen to have contributed to the Dadaist enterprise. Among the female dadaists discussed are the German emigre Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven; Berlin dadaist Hannah Hoch; French dadaists Juliette Roche and Suzanne Duchamp; and Zurich dadaists Sophie Taeuber and Emily Hennings. The volume also discusses issues of colonialist racism, cross-dressing and dandyism, and the gendering of the machine."
