Gabriele Reuter - Töchter. Der Roman zweier Generationen (Daughters. A novel of two generations)

Gabriele Reuter's (1859-1941) Töchter work published in 1927 bears the subtitle A novel of two generations but focuses on the elderly. In contrast to other works by Reuters, there is no criticism of the maternal embrace here: "The novel is directed against all 'new women', especially in the character of the daughter Petra, who clearly represents the immorality of the 20s: she marries, gets divorced, meets her ex-husband as the lover of her friend in the flat she shares, has a relationship without a marriage certificate and only ends up sensibly married at the end." (Annette Kliewer)
