Debate over patriarchal framing of reading history

Original: @ Krautreporter 🧵 Schade, dass Dawidowski die Lesegeschichte so patriarchalisch sieht! In Wahrheit gab es nämlich einen

A thread on Krautreporter criticises Dawidowski's portrayal of the history of reading as patriarchal. The author argues there was a real gender struggle over reading in the 19th century: reading was previously a male pursuit tied to research and book writing, while women increasingly fought for access to literacy and literature.

Why now: The thread challenges a published author's account of gender and reading history, sparking discussion among German-language readers.
