The University of Hagen, it is thanks to them that the first time an exhibition on the life and work of the writer and philosopher Hedwig Dohm (1831-1919) indicates that the most important political writers of the 19th and early 20 Century belongs. As one of the first in Germany in 1873, it gave the vote to women.
Like no other contemporary of Hedwig Dohm is for political Vision, courage and razor-sharp social analysis. But how many women in our history, too, was forgotten after her death for a long time. Only in recent years with the publication of her extensive oeuvre in its rediscovery. All the more welcome is that the FernUni documented with an impressive wealth of material from all over the important points in her life: her childhood and youth in Berlin, her marriage to journalist Ernst Dohm and their common room, working as a theater and novelist and their longer stays in Rome. A particular focus is on Dohm's political demands and essay work in the context of women's movements and on their commitment as convinced opponent of war during World War II.
Up to the last seat was filled the room at the University Library, as the exhibition on 11 March with the greeting words of the journalists and the Federal Archives of the women's movement in Kassel was opened. Very closely followed the approximately 100 exhibition visitors to the scenic performances "But - I should be a real woman," the actor Gerd Buurmann and the two editors of the edition Hedwig Dohm, Nicolas Müller and Isabel Rohner, the fun way as a typical Dohm -irony presented.
was downright hot off the press at the opening of the new and extremely Dohm-readable biography of the literary scholar Isabel Rohner "Hide in now" before. In no time the instructions booklet copies were sold out.
ends after six weeks of the exhibition with a closing event on 22 April, tells the Isabel Rohner of their lengthy search for clues about the work of Hedwig Dohm between Berlin and Rome. The great response to the exhibition can hope that the project not only Hagen is limited, but his view is shared even in other cities. Interest has been expressed. There
