Female revolutionaries and women's suffrage (German-language)
Description
Guided walking tour on International Women's Day
The first women's organizations fought tirelessly for women's suffrage in the context of equal rights.
Exactly 175 years ago, in March 1849, the St. Paul's Church constitution, which is still so important for our democracy today, was published. However, the members of the St. Paul's Church parliament were all men. Despite the many liberal achievements, women were still not given the right to vote until the beginning of the 20th century.
Join our certified tour guides on a walk around St. Paul's Church and Frankfurt's Old Town. They will introduce you to some of the Frankfurt women whose political work and revolutionary commitment contributed to the successful constitutional establishment of the right to vote for women:
- Eva Bunsen
- Annett Stoltze
- Henriette Zobel
- Elisabeth Schwarzhaupt
- Toni Sender
The tours take place in cooperation with the Women's Department of the City of Frankfurt. The website of the Women's Department with detailed information on this topic can be found here.
Further events and campaigns for International Women's Day in Frankfurt am Main can be found here.
