What did it mean for women to become subjects in the transition to modernity? Taking Princess Louise of Anhalt-Dessau (1750–1811) as an example, this book examines processes of female subjectification during this period. Drawing on largely unexplored archival sources, the author combines biographical research from the social sciences with questions of educational theory.
