چکیده (انگلیسی):

The following study analyzes the psychological changes that women underwent during the Weimar Republic
while trying to emulate the New Woman’s media-driven image. I argue that through the interpretation of
Gina Kaus’ novel Die Verliebten, we can draw the conclusion that the successful adoption of the New Woman
image during the 1920s required a compromise from women, who had to balance their emotional
predispositions (desires, wishes, wants) against the new mold that the public and media demanded of them,
and that this balancing act proved psychologically stressful for them.
