The Weimar Republic has an important place in the history of Germany democracy, but a recognition of the strength of German women’s political cultures and their role in shaping the post-war political landscape has been elusive. Women’s experiences in the First World War and Weimar Republic have been extensively discussed, but often in ways that threaten to erase women’s political agency. Moreover, the seismic shift signalled by women’s suffrage has not been foregrounded in accounts of democratic history, and women’s roles in the revolution of 1918 have been largely overlooked. Taking a gender historical approach, this article makes women’s political cultures visible in two arenas important for an understanding of the post-war era: women’s suffrage and women’s revolutionary activism. While the focus is on the German national context, it is important to note that German women’s organisations were embedded in international and transnational network organisations campaigning for women’s social, professional and civic rights, and that their political cultures developed in dialogue with and awareness of what was happening elsewhere in the world.

魏玛共和国在德国民主史上占有重要地位，但对德国女性政治文化的力量及其在塑造战后政治格局中的作用的认可一直难以捉摸。女性在第一次世界大战和魏玛共和国中的经历已被广泛讨论，但通常以威胁消除女性政治能动性的方式进行讨论。此外，女性选举权所预示的巨变并没有在民主历史的叙述中得到强调，而且女性在 1918 年革命中的作用在很大程度上被忽视了。本文采用性别历史方法，使女性政治文化在两个对理解战后时代很重要的领域中可见：女性选举权和女性革命激进主义。虽然重点是德国的国情，
