Sylvia Glowacki
Sylvia Glowacki , born Klauser (* 25. November 1868 in Graz ; † 28. November 1916 ibid) was mainly in Styria active Austrian feminist.
The daughter of a judge married the botanist and high school professor Julius Glowacki , who from 1899 to 1911 held an important position in the Styrian school system as director of the grammar school in Marburg an der Drau (today Maribor ).
Sylvia Glowacki founded the “Frauenhilfe” association in 1907, advocated the domestic industrial activities of middle-class women, organized a large handicraft exhibition in 1913 and, thanks in part to her husband's participation, achieved the co-education of boys and girls in Styrian secondary schools. Due to the temporal and local circumstances of their work in the capital of the then linguistically contested, mostly Slovenian southern Styria, Glowacki's feminism had a “nationalistic” character.
