ABSTRACT
Frieda von Bülow (1857–1909) was one of the most influential colonialist women in Imperial Germany. She also forged connections between colonialism and feminism in her life and in her writings. Bülow’s life as a traveller to Africa, a tropical nurse, an author of fiction and non-fiction, and an activist on behalf of German colonialism in Africa and German women’s employment, offers scholars of gender, European feminism, and colonialism new insights into the political world of feminist colonialists at the turn of the century. 1
