Life & Legacy

Wilhelmine Theodore Marie Cauer, née Schelle, usually known as Minna Cauer (1 November 1841 in Freyenstein – 3 August 1922 in Berlin), was a German pedagogue, activist in the so-called "radical" wing of the German bourgeois feminist movement, pacifist and journalist. Alongside Anita Augspurg, Cauer was the most prominent figure in the radical feminist movement. In the 1890s she was the undisputed representative and had a special talent for winning over new and younger women to the feminist movement.
