Louise Otto-Peters (1819-1895; LO) is one of the most eminent feminists in 19th century Germany, who shaped the first womens movement with her ideas and initiatives. Nevertheless, her visions for the emancipation of women have not yet been researched thoroughly. This is especially true for the Genius trilogy, comprising Der Genius des Hauses (1869), Der Genius der Menschheit im Dienste der Humanität (1870) and Der Genius der Natur. Harmonien der Natur zu dem Frauenleben der Gegenwart (1871). Although LO stressed that these books accurately reflect her views on the question of womens rights, the trilogy has so far been neglected by academia or caused bewilderment. Hence, the intended source studies investigate the Genius trilogy comprehensively for the first time, and seek to situate it in the context of LO work. They are meant to prepare a special study on LO visions for womens emancipation.The Genius trilogy is researched with regard to the following issues: the precise context in which the books were written, their intentions, their target audience, the depicted visions of womens emancipation, the discernable strategies of justifying these visions, and their specific medial representation. The scholarly assessment of the trilogy is based on a comparative analysis of its main propositions and intentions, and those formulated in LO other writings. Owing to my own extensive preliminary work in the field, I compare my findings with the results of my studies on Das Recht der Frauen auf Erwerb and Frauenleben im Deutschen Reich. Special attention will be paid to the topoi of education, work, independence, self-help, and the Ewig-Weibliche. Moreover, the interrelation between worldly, philosophical, religious, and other means of producing sense will be studied. On the basis of LO leading articles and reviews in Neue Bahnen, the publication of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Frauenverein (ADF), I research which contemporary views she contemplated and which socio-economic, political and other developments she observed whilst working on the Genius trilogy. Methodically, the studies are conducted in accordance with the notion of gender as a category of inequality that functions as marker, resource and tracer. Additionally, they are based upon reflections on the intersectionality of gender and the concept of popular history.The source studies contribute to the scholarly exploration of the history of feminist thought, of LO role in the global history of feminism and of bourgeois non-hierarchical conceptualisations of gender in the 19th century. They also have a socio-political agenda. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of ADF foundation in October 2015, the findings can enrich public debate by providing new insights into the association visions for the emancipation of women. The ADF, led by LO, marks the beginning of an organised womens movement in Germany.

路易丝·奥托-彼得斯（Louise Otto-Peters，1819-1895；LO）是 19 世纪德国最杰出的女权主义者之一，她的思想和倡议塑造了第一次妇女运动，然而，她对妇女解放的愿景尚未得到彻底研究。对于天才三部曲来说尤其如此，包括《Der Genius des Hauses》（1869）、《Der Genius der Menschheit im Dienste der Humanität》 (1870) 和 Der Genius der Natur. Harmonien der Natur zu dem Frauenleben der Gegenwart (1871)。是为了准备一项关于妇女解放的LO愿景的专题研究。《天才三部曲》的研究涉及以下问题：书籍写作的确切背景、意图、目标受众、描绘的妇女解放愿景、可辨别的策略证明这些愿景及其具体媒体表现的学术评估是基于对其主要主张和意图以及我自己广泛的初步著作中阐述的主张和意图的比较分析。在该领域的工作中，我将我的发现与《Das Recht der Frauen auf Erwerb》和《Frauenleben im Deutschen Reich》的研究结果进行比较，特别关注教育、工作、独立、自助和 Ewig 等话题。 -Weibliche。此外，还将根据《Neue Bahnen》的《LO》主要文章和评论来研究世俗、哲学、宗教和其他产生意义的手段之间的相互关系。在 Allgemeiner Deutscher Frauenverein (ADF) 中，我研究了她在创作《天才三部曲》时思考的当代观点以及她观察到的社会经济、政治和其他发展。这些研究是根据性别作为一个类别的概念进行的。此外，它们基于对性别和大众历史概念的交叉性的反思。来源研究有助于对女权主义思想史的学术探索。 LO 在全球女权主义历史和 19 世纪资产阶级非等级性别概念中的作用 他们还有一个社会政治议程，在 2015 年 10 月 ADF 成立 150 周年之际，这些发现可以丰富公众的知识。由 LO 领导的 ADF 为协会的妇女解放愿景提供了新的见解，标志着德国有组织的妇女运动的开始。
