History is not made solely by men. The significant role that women have always played in Brandenburg is illustrated by the biographies of the women from Brandenburg, some of whom have never been biographically honored before. From Electress Elisabeth to midwife Justine Siegmund, women's rights activist Minna Cauer, and Social Minister Regine Hildebrandt, the life stories span a wide range. These biographies reveal the political and social conditions in which these women had to prove themselves. Thus, the volume also serves as an entertaining stroll through several centuries of Brandenburg-Prussian history, presented by renowned authors such as Eva Zeller, Claudia von Gélieu, Manfred Stolpe, Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia, and others. Featured are: Elisabeth Electress of Brandenburg, Anna Götzen, Grete Minde, Justine Siegmund, Anna Dorothea T.
