The name Käthe Leichter is associated with the golden age of Austrian Social Democracy. Few are still familiar with her life and work. Early on she was committed to improving the education and occupational situation of women. Her studies on women’s work in the First Republic are groundbreaking, and her analyses and demands are disturbingly relevant. In 1934, together with her husband, the journalist Otto Leichter, she founded the Revolutionary Socialists. In 1942, this Jewish resistance fighter was murdered by poison gas in the Bernburg/Saale concentration camp.
