Summary
The article deals with the problem of the genre formation of women’s magazine in Germany in the XVIII century and its role in gender discourse of the epoch. В значительной мере это было связано с тем, что начиная со второй половины XVIII века женщины искали пути самореализации, преодолевая анахронические, уже 230 разрушающиеся гендерные роли.

Однако эти процессы протекали в крайне проблематичных, ограничивающих женщин жизненных условиях, которые обусловили сложный характер женской культурной автономизации [Ibid, p.
