Epitomizes the achieving woman who is not a feminist. Her generation called her a "muckraker," but in our time she would have been known as "an investigative reporter." She achieved more than almost any woman of her generation, but she was an antisuffragist, believing that the traditional roles of wife and mother were more important than public life.

"Dem größten deutschen Dichter wurde eine Villa geschenkt" titelte eine italienische Tageszeitung 1913. Hundert Jahre später stand Richard Dehmels Haus vor dem Verfall. Was war passiert? Dieses Buch rekonstruiert die Geschichte eines außergewöhnlichen Ortes und seiner Bewohner. Es erinnert an zwei Schlüssel­figuren der künstlerischen Moderne: an den Lyriker Richard Dehmel (1863-1920), der Thomas Mann entdeckte, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff bewegte und Arnold Schönberg inspirierte, und an die Kunstförderin Ida Dehmel (1870-1942), die Schriftsteller anregte, für Frauenrechte kämpfte und den Künstlerinnenverband GEDOK gründete. Basierend auf Briefen wird der Wandel des Gesamtkunstwerkes Dehmelhaus vom sagenumwobenen Künstlertreffpunkt zum Erinnerungsort nachgezeichnet. Das Buch fragt nach Gründen für sein Verschwinden und zeigt, wie das Dehmelhaus dennoch den Stürmen des 20. Jahrhunderts standhielt.

"Born in 1907, Ida Martin spent most of her life in Saint John, New Brunswick. She married a longshoreman named Allan Robert Martin in 1932 and they had one daughter. In the years that followed, Ida had a busy and varied life, full of work, caring for her family, and living her faith. Through it all, Ida found time to keep a daily diary from 1945 to 1992. Bonnie Huskins is Ida Martin's granddaughter. In Just the Usual Work, she and Michael Boudreau draw on Ida's diaries, family memories, and the history of Atlantic Canada to shed light on the everyday life of a working-class housewife during a period of significant social and political change. They examine Ida's observations about the struggles of making ends meet on a longshoreman's salary, the labour confrontations at the Port of Saint John, the role of automobiles in the family economy, the importance of family, faith, and political engagement, and her experience of widowhood and growing old. Ida Martin's diaries were often read by members of her family to reconstruct and relive their shared histories. By sharing the pages of her diaries with a wider audience, Just the Usual Work keeps Ida's memory alive while continuing her abiding commitment to documenting the past and finding meaning in the rhythms of everyday life."--

Interprete acclamata di oltre cento pièce, prima regista donna in Polonia negli anni tra i due conflitti mondiali, traduttrice di Ibsen e Bataille in yiddish, direttrice e amministratrice dell’unico teatro yiddish al mondo retto su finanziamenti statali, Ida Kaminska è stata tra i pochi artisti a fare da ponte tra la prima e la seconda metà del xx secolo, lottando per ricostruire la vita culturale e spirituale del popolo ebraico dopo il suo feroce sradicamento. Muovendo dall’avventura pionieristica di Avrom Kaminski e Ester Rokhl Halpern alla fine dell’Ottocento il volume traccia un itinerario che incrocia altre leggendarie dinastie artistiche, quali i Turkow e i Rotbaum, ma ha per fulcro il teatro poetico e intimamente narrativo di Ida, culmine di un progetto che ha abbracciato un secolo e tre continenti. Attraverso queste pagine il lettore potrà accostarsi alla sua biografia d’attrice e in particolare alla genesi di due spettacoli da lei diretti e interpretati: la popolare commedia yiddish Mirele Efros e un’inedita e anti-brechtiana Madre Coraggio. Creazioni in cui Ida incarna la figura fragile e agguerrita della idishe mame: presenza luminosa nel paesaggio dello Yiddishland e archetipo di una natura melodrammatica nutrita di pietà.
