Celebrating 100 years of women’s right to vote
Frauen wählet – 100 Jahre Frauenwahlrecht in Österreich
When: THU, March 8, 10am–9pm
Where: Literaturmuseum der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek
Entry: Free!
It’s only been 100 years that women have been allowed to vote in Austria – can you believe it!? This was a pivotal political achievement for women in 1918, and something we should never take for granted. And so, on this year’s International Women’s Day, the Literaturmuseum der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek will be offering special tours through their halls which have a bunch of books and other things that tell you everything about the struggle. At 7pm, you’ll also get a chance to listen to Historian, Birgitta Bader-Zaar, Editor Eva Geber, and Author, Nadine Kegele, talk about how vital it is that we all remain engaged in the fight for women’s rights.
Recommended if you like: fighting for women’s rights, being allowed to vote, informational events, learning something new, imagining living in different times, special museum tours, panel talks, getting damn angry at the pay gap between the sexes, crushing stereotypes with your words, reading rather large history books
