family

Flügge's parents are the lawyer and women's rights activist Marianne Flügge-Oeri and the pastor Rufus Flügge . She has two children, born in 1977 and 1981. The father of their children is Karl Dietrich Wolff .

Career

As a teenager, Flügge joined the left school movement, took part in demonstrations and Easter marches and was head of the school at the Sophia School in Hanover , where she graduated from high school in 1969. From 1969 to 1974 she studied law at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and then completed a three-year legal clerkship at the Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main . During his studies women's rights became Flügge's central theme. From 1977 she worked as a lawyer .

In 1990 she became a consultant for health policy and prostitution in the women's department of the city of Frankfurt am Main, which was then newly founded by Margarethe Nimsch . She worked there until 1993 under Head of Office Renate Krauß-Pötz . During her tenure, for example, the compulsory examination and compulsory registration of prostitutes in Frankfurt were abolished.

In her dissertation midwives and healing women. Law and Legal Reality in the 15th and 16th centuries , Flügge dealt with the emergence of discrimination against women through law using the example of the history of midwifery law. Their analysis shows the historical processes leading to a gender-specific division of labor in medicine. The increasing hierarchy excluded women in Europe from academic medicine and obstetrics for a long time .

After completing her doctorate in 1994, Flügge was appointed professor with a focus on women's law at the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt am Main , where she taught in the Department of Social Work and Health from 1994 to 2015 and was also a women's representative from 1995 to 2014 .

Her research areas are legal history , the emergence and history of discrimination against women in law, with a focus on early modern police law and family law in the 20th century, and the history of women's legal claims in the context of the new women's movement. In 2014 she was involved as a researcher in the Sister Cities Going Gender project of the city of Frankfurt am Main, which dealt with the topic of “Gender Mainstreaming in Local Administration”.

Flügge is one of the first active feminist lawyers to have met annually since 1978. These have been organized by changing groups as Feminist Legal Days since 1985 . In 1983 she was co-founder and has since been co-editor of the feminist legal magazine STREIT , where she is still the final editor.

Women's representative at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences

Her work as the women's representative at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences initially focused on developing plans to promote women. She was also significantly involved in the establishment of the Gender and Women Research Center of the Hessian Universities of Applied Sciences (gFFZ) in 2001, as well as in the establishment of the mentor network for women in science and technology, which was carried out by all Hessian universities in 2000, which served as a model nationwide. In 2004 the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences was the first university in Hesse and one of the first universities in Germany to be awarded the certificate audit family-friendly university . In addition, she successfully supported the establishment of the research- oriented children's home at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, as part of which a flexible, educationally qualified care facility was developed for the first time at a university.

Diverse commitment to women's rights

In the early 1970s she joined the Frankfurt Women's Council, which met in the Frankfurt Club Voltaire . The Women's Council was an initiative that emerged from the Berlin Action Council for the Liberation of Women in the Socialist German Student Union (SDS) . The group of around 90 women included a. the literary scholar Silvia Bovenschen , the film producer Uschi Madeisky and the long-time director of the Frankfurt women's school, Barbara Köster. The women's council consisted mainly of female students, but also of young mothers and professionals and initially criticized the structures that privileged men and patriarchal behavior within the student movement . In addition, topics that were previously considered private, such as sexuality and raising children, should be made public. The meeting point was the Frankfurt Club Voltaire .

Together with the American psychoanalyst and then student Jessica Benjamin , Flügge advocated using personal experiences as the starting point for social analysis and politics. The consciousness-raising groups developed in the American women's movement served as a model .

In addition, she was one of the organizers of the first nationwide women's congress of Aktion 218 , which, as part of the women's movement, on the initiative of Alice Schwarzer , had set itself the goal of removing the ban on abortion in accordance with Section 218 . The congress took place in March 1972 in the Frankfurt House of Youth . In the summer of 1973 she was also one of the founders of the Frankfurt women's center at Eckenheimer Landstrasse 72 - the second women's center in Germany next to the women's center previously founded in Berlin. The initiative made it possible to network the numerous self-awareness and action groups that have emerged from the activities of the Women's Council. Flügge participated u. a. on the establishment of a doctor's file and on the organization of the “trips to Holland” to the abortion clinics there. Together with other law students and trainee lawyers, she offered divorce counseling for women.

Volunteering

Flügge worked on a voluntary basis on the board of the Frankfurt Institute for Women's Research , was a long member of the advisory board of the Frankfurt Feminist Women's Health Center and was a member of the scientific advisory board of the Women's Study and Education Center of the Evangelical Church in Germany (FSBZ, today the Study Center for Gender Issues in Church and Theology ). She is a member of the Research Ethics Commission of the German Society for Social Work (DGSA).
