摘要

boy can be counterproductive. For example, in the otherwise excellent discussionrnof the situation of the first female students in Vienna, he turns up as a defender ofrnthe idea that women’s intellectual inferiority was a disqualification for universityrnstudies. In fact,Weininger did consider women intellectually inferior to men butrnhe had no objections to their pursuing university studies. The essay on Klimt is anrninterpretation based upon an unpublished iconographic study and summarized inrnone page. It is difficult for the critical reader to know what to make of the argu-rnment that Jill Scott bases upon it.rnAll in all, Gender and Modernity represents more of a suggestion of the kinds ofrnthings that a feminist or masculinist perspective in the fin de siècle might offer tornstudents of the culture and politics of that era than a full-fledged breakthrough to arnnew explanatory paradigm.
