This installment of Conversations With… is timed to celebrate International Womens Day and Festival of the Arts 2009, which we’ve mentioned in earlier blog posts. and will touch on the phenomenon of the Salon and how the women who ran them opened up the possibility of intellectual discourse during an otherwise repressive era in Prussia.
