Aprašymas
A scandalous success when first published in 1851, 19-year-old Mathilde Fibiger's Clara Raphael. Tolv Breve was widely criticized by major (male) critics, all except N.F.S. Grundtvig, who wrote: "Clara lit the beacon-fire/in the fight for women's rights".
Acknowledged as the first Danish feminist novel, it comprises twelve fictive letters from Clara to her friend Mathilde in which she complains of her stultifying life as a governess on a rural farm in a male-dominated world: "What right do men have to suppress us? For there is no doubt that we are suppressed, even if the chains are gilded".
