The following is excerpted from “400 Outstanding Women of the World and the Costumology of Their Time” by Minna Moscherosch Schmidt, published in 1933.
At the World’s Congress of Representative Women in 1893, Chicago, Augusta Foerster mentioned Helene Lange as the leader of the Teachers’ Association in Germany. She was a woman whose entire life was filled with a desire to emancipate womanhood. As leader of the Teachers’ Association in Germany she founded courses for women which would fit them for entrance to higher educational institutions such as universities. She edited a magazine for women, Die Frau, thus extending her personal influence which already extended to many organizations. She was made honorary Chairman of the Democratic Party and the Berlin University honored her with a Doctor’s Degree.
