Women and Judaism: These are the themes to which Bertha Badt-Strauss (1885-1907) devoted herself—women’s history and Jewish history are at the same time the two themes that define the perimeters of her biography written by Martina Steer. Bertha Badt-Strauss grew up in Breslau and was one of the first women to be admitted to advanced schooling, to the university, and to doctoral studies. She was one of the most productive German-Jewish publicists in the 20s and 30s. She also edited complete editions of texts by various, mostly Jewish authors. In August 1939, shortly before the borders were closed after the beginning of the war, she and her husband immigrated to the USA. This fresh start was difficult and shadowed at first by existential worries. However, despite a grave illness, Bertha Badt-Strauss was able to succeed again as a publicist even in exile.Downloads
