Fragen für Emma

1. I feel that there is a contrast between the "New Woman's" newfound freedoms and the oppression they experienced in art circles. You would think that Bauhaus, an art school, would be a pioneer in liberalism and equality, yet female artists were limited to textile work. Was this dichotomy (pseudo-equality) more or less present throughout society?

2. Today, large cities tend to be a bit more liberal than their rural counterparts. Was this so for Berlin and its "outposts" Dessau and Weimar? Since such a large percentage of Germany's population lived in Berlin, did this create political problems? Perhaps, for example, that rural/agricultural needs were not met?
