Grete Meisel-Hess

Grete Meisel-Hess (18 April 1879, Prague - 18 April 1922, Berlin) was an Austrian Jewish feminist, who wrote novels, short stories and essays about women's need for sexual liberation.

Grete Meisel-Hess

Meisel-Hess lived in Vienna from 1893 to 1908. She viewed both anti-Semitism and anti-feminism as signs of degeneration which needed to be overcome by progressive politics.[1]

She wrote for Franz Pfemfert's journal Die Aktion.[2]
