Publisher's Synopsis

Examines gender dimensions of orality in German culture and thought around 1800. This book reveals oral resonances in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, demonstrates that pedagogical and didactic literature about women and girls is based on a suppression of female orality, and contrasts medicalized models of (open) female and (closed) male bodies.
