Hunsrück settlement of Scheidbach, is a young woman from a family of tinkers who is pregnant by the son of a wealthy farmer and, rejected by all the villagers, brings her illegitimate child into the world in a quarry. The topic of single motherhood, as well as issues of birth control and abortion addressed in Notwehr, the Novel of the Unborn (1911), were continually discussed at the beginning of the 20th century. Following the publication of Armsünderin the latent "Catholic literature dispute", part of a larger controversy surrounding the position of Catholics in the Protestant-dominated German Empire, flared up again. A reprint of the novel in the reform-oriented Catholic magazine Hochland by the publisher Karl Muth angered the conservative Ultramontanes. As a result, Lambrecht was excluded from the Catholic book market. The themes of commitment for the socially weak and advocacy for the emancipation of women run through all of Lambrecht's works. With a strong regional focus and long dialect passages, she was closely related to the literary folk art movement. During World War I, she published several novels about war. In the 1920s she focused on historical novels and entertainment. Bibliography What Happened in the Fens ...
