Clementine Kraemer Collection 1894-1963
No full textThis collection is comprised of papers of the writer Clementine Kraemer. Although it is primarily composed of examples of her writing, including both poetry and prose, it also includes personal documents and correspondence, as well as a detailed biography.Clementine Sophie Cahnmann was born in 1873 in the town of Rheinbischofsheim in Baden. She was the second child of the merchant Gustav Cahnmann and his wife Augusta (née Levi). Her childhood and schooling took place in Rheinbischofsheim and in Karlsruhe, where the family moved when she was seven. In 1891 Clementine Cahnmann married Max Kraemer, a businessman and banker of Munich and a distant relation by marriage. The couple never had any children. It was in Munich that Clementine Kraemer became active in Jewish social and educational work. Her early efforts in this area included teaching German language and literature to immigrant women in evening classes at the B'nai B'rith Muenchen Loge. This brought her into contact with similarly-minded individuals, most notably Erna Feuchtwanger, who would become a close friend and led to Clementine Kraemer's introduction to the Juedischer Frauenbund. She was among the first members of the Munich branch of this organization, as well as a member of the national Board of Directors. Traveling to meetings on behalf of the Juedischer Frauenbund led to her acquaintance with women such as Henriette May, Ottilie Schoenwald, and Bertha Pappenheim; in addition she developed a close friendship with Paula Ollendorff. Clementine Kraemer was also present at the founding meeting of the Munich branch of the Verein fuer Frauenstimmrecht. During World War I, as part of her work for the Juedischer Frauenbund, she worked to solicit assistance from Jewish business in supplementing rations for those who had lost family members during the war. Following the economic difficulties of the interwar period, the business of Clementine Kraemer's husband, Max Kraemer and Co., went bankrupt. As a result she sought and received a position at the textile store S. Eichengruen and Co. in 1929.Clementine Kraemer was also a prolific writer of poetry, vignettes, short stories, and novellas. Only one of her novellas was published on its own, Die Rauferei (1927). Some of her other significant longer works were published serially in newspapers, including Der Weg des jungen Hermann Kahn; Erinnerungen; and Der Grossvater und der Hofbauer. Numerous shorter pieces were also published in newspapers. Her written work often featured themes such as Jewish family life in the early half of the twentieth century, the relationship of German Jews to their religion, and her reactions to World War I. The six children of her brother Sigwart Cahnmann are frequently mentioned in her published work; she was known to them as 'Tante Clem.' Like her brother and his wife, Clementine Kraemer made several attempts to secure emigration from Germany. Although she received an affidavit of support from a family member in the United States, she was not able to leave before the outbreak of the Second World War and the closing of the American consulates in Germany; efforts to immigrate to Denmark, Shanghai, and Cuba also fell through. In the spring of 1942 Clementine Kraemer was sent to Theresienstadt, where she died on November 4th of that same year.Further details on Clementine Kraemer's life will be found in the extensive biography written by her nephew Werner Cahnman, located in Series III of this collection.A published version of Werner Cahnman's biography, The life of Clementine Kraemer, is available at the YIVO librarydigitize
'Boys Will Be Boys' - In conversation with Clementine Ford
No full textFrom the author of the bestselling feminist manifesto Fight Like A Girl comes an incendiary new book that reveals how the patriarchy is just as harmful to boys and men as it is to women and girls.
Clementine Ford reports that one of the questions she is most asked in person and online is ?How do I raise my son to be a feminist? How do I make sure he's a supporter rather than a perpetrator?' It is a question that many parents with sons are haunted by and, now that she is mother to a baby boy, it is a question that haunts Clementine too.
Join Clementine Ford in conversation with award-winning author Johanna Bell on her latest book Boys Will Be Boys. Looking at toxic male spaces and how gender inequality is learnt, the book questions how a feminist raises a son in a world that conditions them to entitlement, privilege and power at the expense of not just girls' humanity but also their own.
Clementine Ford is a freelance writer, broadcaster and public speaker based in Melbourne. Her first book Fight Like A Girl was an instant bestseller and won the ABIA Matt Richell Award for Best New Writing in 2017.
Johanna Bell is an award-winning author of fiction and the founder of Darwin's StoryProjects and SPUN Stories. Her work has been shortlisted for a number of literary awards including the Overland Story Prize and the Alan Marshall Short Story Prize. In 2017, her second picture book Go Home Cheeky Animals! won Picture Book of the Year and in 2016 and 2018 she was awarded the Northern Territory Literary Award for short fiction and poetry. Her work draws on Australian landscapes and explores how place and desire shape people. Johanna has a six-year-old daughter and thinks a lot about how to raise children to be empowered thinkers.
This event is co-presented by The Bookshop Darwin
