Hedwig Fechheimer und die ägyptische Kunst: Leben und Werk einer jüdischen Kunstwissenschaftlerin in Deutschland

With her work The Sculpture of the Egyptians, published in 1914, Hedwig Fechheimer (1871–1942) aroused a great deal of attention among the art-interested public; later, she published The Small Sculpture of the Egyptians. This volume reconstructs for the first time Fechheimer’s biography, illuminating the experience of a female intellectual and Jew whose life straddled the Wilhelmine and Nazi periods.
