The Richthofen Sisters as Literary Figures of Modernity
Else and Frieda von Richthofen appear in Wendt's book as women who escape the conventions of their time and redefine their role in the intellectual milieu of the early 20th century. The view of the Schwabing bohemia opens a panorama of culture, science, and life reform, in which encounters with personalities like Max Weber and Rainer Maria Rilke broaden the historical horizon.
