The long path of women into parliament | Series of events on Elisabeth Selbert, equality and the Basic Law
Input: Dr. Barbara von Hindenburg (Commission for the History of Parliamentarianism)
Elisabeth Selbert was one of the creators of the Basic Law. In honor of Selbert and on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Basic Law, we want to recapitulate in our series of events how the social, economic, political and societal position of women in the Federal Republic has changed. We will discuss equality in the key arenas in which gender equality and quality of life are realized in our society. We are also looking for a traceability in contemporary history: How has the role of women in society changed and what is the state of the tension between normative aspirations and lived
reality? What is the balance in the important fields and what is still on the agenda?
The public event series is organized by the department "Political System of the Federal Republic of Germany - Statehood in Transition" under the direction of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schroeder and is part of the seminar "75 Years of the Basic Law: Status and Perspective of Equal Rights. The legacy of Elisabeth Selbert."
