Frauen in Baden

In this exploration of 900 years, one encounters women from all walks of life: nobles, churchwomen, criminals, revolutionaries, scientists, philanthropists, politicians, stars, and style icons. Many were admired, scorned, or condemned by their contemporaries, while others only gained significance in the eyes of posterity. Their biographies coalesce into a somewhat different history of Baden. The short biographies—from the wives of the Margraves of Baden to Minister Annemarie Griesinger, terrorist Brigitte Mohnhaupt, and publisher Aenne Burda—focus on the importance of these women for the political development of the region and society, placing them in historical contexts. An entertaining historical journey.
