Louise Dittmar

Johanna Friederieke Louise Dittmar (September 7, 1807 – July 11, 1884) was a German feminist and revolutionary philosopher. She was the author of nine books, and the founding editor of the journal ''Soziale Reform''. Along with more general advocacy of equality for women, social justice, and a radical and near-atheist approach to religion, her works "in a manner unique for her time repeatedly and brilliantly questioned the notion of 'natural' differences between the sexes". She has been called "Germany's most brilliant (and yet often misunderstood) feminist theorist of the 1840s".

Louise-Dittmar Straße, a road in Darmstadt-Eberstadt, was named for her in 2002. Provided by Wikipedia
