Abstract

Rosa Mayreder, Auguste Fickert, and Marie Lang’s publication of “Dokumente der Frauen” and the General Women’s Organization of Austria organization influenced and shaped Austrian political and legal identity for women in Austria. Auguste Fickert (1855-1910), Rosa Mayreder (1858-1938), and Marie Lang (1858-1934) were founders of women’s organizations and publications for the improvement of women’s rights and had profound effects on Austria’s political and legal identity for women. Their theories, publications, and organizations externally developed and then incorporated and codified gender into the Austrian political and legal systems.
