Abstract

Abstract:In this article we examine the popularity of nineteenth-century language-of-flower books and floral symbols alongside contemporary discourses that align women with flowers and ascribe significance to a woman’s reproductive years while devaluing the life and contributions of the old woman. Through an examination of the natural world in Hedwig Dohm’s Werde, die Du bist! (1894), we argue that Dohm repurposes the female sexual metaphor of the flower to emphasize the elements needed for a mature woman to continue her development after her reproductive years.

在海德薇·多姆的《世界,死吧!》中,花的语言与(再生产的)女性身体
摘要:在这篇文章中,我们研究了19世纪花的语言书籍和花的符号与当代话语的流行,这些话语将女性与花联系在一起,赋予女性生育年龄的意义,同时贬低了老年妇女的生命和贡献。在海德薇格·多姆的《世界》一书中,我们审视了自然世界。(1894),我们认为Dohm重新使用了花的女性性隐喻,以强调成熟女性在生育年龄后继续发展所需的元素。
