In her autobiography, the remarkable feminist and social worker
Alice Salomon recounts her transition in the 1890s from privileged
idleness to energetic engagement in solving social problems.
Salomon took the lead in establishing the profession of social
work, and built a career as a social reformer, activist, and
educator. A prolific author, Salomon also played a key role in the
transatlantic dialogue between German and American feminists in the
early twentieth century. Her narrative concludes with the account
of her expulsion from Germany by the Nazis in 1937.
Salomon's formative influence on the field of social work makes her
story crucial for the history of the discipline. This work will
also appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of the
feminist and socialist movements or the political and social
history of twentieth-century Germany. The volume also includes
several of Salomon's essays on social work and women's issues,
along with photographs of Salomon, her students, and her
colleagues.
Andrew Lees is Professor and Chair of the History Department at
Rutgers University, Camden.
