Liesel Kipp-Kaule

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liesel Kipp-Kaule (born February 13, 1906 in Bielefeld ; † July 10, 1992 there ) was a German trade unionist and politician of the SPD .

Life and work

After attending primary school and an apprenticeship as a seamstress, Kipp-Kaule worked in the underwear and men's clothing industry until 1940. She was a member of the works council until 1933. She attended a private business school in Bielefeld from 1935 to 1938. From 1940 she worked as a commercial clerk.

In 1946, Kipp-Kaule joined the textile-clothing-leather trade union as a trade union secretary, and in 1947 she became the clerk for women and youth issues in the British zone. In addition, in 1947 she was elected as the only woman on the board of the DGB for the British zone. In 1949, the founding congress of the textile clothing union elected Kipp-Kaule to the executive board for the entire Federal Republic including West Berlin , where she took on the tasks of women and youth work. She was re-elected six times until she was defeated by her male rival candidates at the 1963 trade union day in Hanover. This meant that there was no longer any woman on the seven-person executive board of the Textile Clothing Union, with 55.4% female members.

MPs

Liesel Kipp-Kaule was a member of the German Bundestag from its first election in 1949 to 1965. In 1949 she played a key role in the SPD draft for a maternity protection law . In 1950 she and her parliamentary group colleague Lisa Albrecht advocated a law for economic equality for women in addition to Article 3 of the Basic Law . The two politicians could not prevail in their own parliamentary group.
