Watch a film about Austria’s treasured 20th century feminist
Internationaler Frauentag: Film und Diskussion
When: FRI, March 6, 8pm–11pm
Where: Votivkino
Entry: free! if you sign up for a free ticket
What better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than to watch a film about Austria’s most prominent female politician, an icon of feminism and genuine national treasure? We’re of course talking about Johanna Dohnal who, in 1979, was promoted to the SPÖ-led cabinet as State Secretary of General Women’s Issues (whoever thought of that title was lacking a little in imagination, wethinks) before becoming Austria’s very first Frauenministerin in 1995. After watching a screening of the excellent film ‘Die Dohnal’ there will be a discussion about the relevant challenges still facing women in our society today.
