Frauenmuseum Hittisau relaunches blog on remarkable women

They are heroines of everyday life, artists or brave role models fighting for a better world. All of them give hope and inspire – especially in challenging times. Join Frauenmuseum Hittisau as it explores the lives of extraordinary women on its blog strong women. strong stories.

A long way to success  

As already during the first lockdown, Frauenmuseum Hittisau shares stories about inspiring women – this time starting with Gabriele Possanner von Ehrenthal, the first doctor graduating from the University of Vienna. Until she could finally work, Gabriele Possanner von Ehrenthal had to overcome many obstacles. In the end, she succeeded and paved the way for generations of female students.
