Helene Lange was a prominent educationist and feminist and played an important role in the German women´s movement. She demanded that the education of women should be taken out of the hands of men and tried to improve women´s access to higher education institutions.
"In this polemical work written for the most conservative people in Europe in this matter of female education, we may behold reflected as in a mirror the entire movement in all countries, and see all of its stages, from the initiation on to the most advanced line of progress, in one picture." (W. T. Harris)
