"We all know that the story of the Frankfurt School and the Institute for Social Research is a male story. I think that with this book, we are really changing that perspective."
"The search wasn't easy—the women's names were difficult to find through the traditional methods. But there are other kinds of material, like letters, gossip, interviews, oral history."
The women in the photo of the Marxist Work Week were highly educated and politically active, integral to the Institute for Social Research. They included Hede Massing, Hedda Korsch, Gertrud Alexander, Rose Wittfogel, Kathe Weil, Christiane Sorge, and Margarete Lissauer. Their contributions have been documented in a new Spanish-language volume commemorating the ISR's centenary. This publication aims to shift the narrative that the history of the Frankfurt School is solely male-dominated, highlighting the significant roles these women played in shaping critical social theories.
