Soziale Frauenschule
Soziale Frauenschule was the name given to certain educational institutions that emerged in Germany between the turn of the century and the beginning of the 1920s. In the course of the women's movement, they pursued the goal of vocational training for women in the welfare care sector. Another aim was to overcome the hardship of the First World War, which particularly affected women, who were to be supported by qualified female staff.Klaus Burger: ''Prüfende Strenge statt blinder Weichherzigkeit.

Women's Movement
The feminist movement (also known as the women's movement, or feminism) refers to a series of social movements and political campaigns for radical and liberal reforms on women's issues created by the inequality between men and women. Such issues are women's liberation, reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women's suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. The movement's priorities have expanded since its beginning in the 1800s, and vary among nations and communities. Priorities range from opposition to female genital mutilation in one country, to opposition to the glass ceiling in another. Feminism in parts of the Western world has been an ongoing movement since the turn of the century. During its inception, feminism has gone through a series of four high moments termed Waves.
