ABSTRACT/RESUME:

Throughout history women have been disenfranchised and denied almost every right. Everything concerning political and social life was reserved only for men, while the position of women was almost negligible. Women were condemned to spend their whole lives subordinated to men, only because of their gender, which the patriarchy considered to be on a much lower social level and therefore simply should not have any rights. However, in the period between the two world wars, things started to change for the better for women and the Association of University Educated Women (1927–1941) greatly contributed to that. Initially only a few, surrounded by a society with deep-rooted patriarchal views, they managed to attract a growing number of women intellectuals with a university degree to their organization, but they also prepared students for future activities. Women began increasingly to enroll into colleges, even those that were not socially acceptable for women. The Association set itself the tall task of enabling women to work in science, which was the highest goal of their aspirations, believing that women as intellectuals should not remain confined in their profession, but be able to participate freely in all issues of national and international importance. They believed that the success of women would be achieved.
