Women's Association Reform
The Reform Women's Association was founded in Weimar in 1888 as the German Reform Women's Association by Hedwig Kettler .
In 1891 it was renamed “Women's Education Reform” and is considered a “milestone in the women's movement”.
The association was the first German association to advocate a comprehensive right of women to study at university in all subjects. Therefore, he was also committed to the establishment of girls 'high schools, in which the same curriculum as for boys' high schools should apply. In addition, the association was committed to the admission of women to university entrance qualification . Quote:
“We believe that no one has the right to dictate to his fellow man, even if he is a woman, that you develop so far, but not by any further; you think so far, but don't think any further! - And we believe that no one has the right to rob their neighbors, even if they are women, as a matter of principle, the greatest happiness in life: satisfactory work in a self-chosen, not forced occupation "
With these demands, the women's association Reform went beyond the goals of the educational pioneer Helene Lange , who advocated educational programs that were gendered separately for girls and boys .
