Abstract

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN-US"Sociologist Marianne Weber was one of the most important theorists of bourgeois feminism innbsp;/spanGermany. One of the topics that specially concerned her was the review of the concept ofnbsp;marriage, in view of the social changes around 1900. In spite of the new needs of womennbsp;leading to the movements for feminine emancipation and the widespread rejection of marriagenbsp;at that time of transformation, Marianne Weber, stimulated by her own vital experiences,nbsp;redefines the concept of matrimony and affirms its relevance as an ideal for sexual relations./p
