SZ Photo - The ìModern Womanî in the Weimar Republic, 1918-1933

With the Weimar Republic, women also received the right to vote and to stand for election. In addition to the beginning of political participation, another image of women in society developed, albeit slowly. Despite the pioneers in politics, culture and crafts documented here, among other things, most women still have no real opportunities for participation. - This selection contains pictures from our partner agency Süddeutsche Zeitung Photo.
