Ahead of her time: Certain insights of Vera Stein Erlich

Lydia Sklevicky ; Institut za historiju radničkog pokreta Hrvatske, Zagreb

Abstract

Starting with a hypothesis that the problem of the relationship between sexes — perceived as an indicator of a particular model of culture and as a sui generis social relationship — represents the connecting tissue of Erlich's heterogeneous work, this study examines the relationship between sexes in her Work within three specific frames of reference:
1. within the context of her studies on psychology published during the 1930’s;
2. within the framework of her journalistic work written in connection with an active women's movement during the same period;
3. within the context of her anthropological studies.
The conclusion of the article, based on a review of Erlich's work, shows the relevance of the questions she posed and the answers she gave, both of which often outdistanced the receptive possibilities of her time.
