Elise Richter primera profesora de la universidad austriaca

Résumé

Elise Richter left us in her biography the testimony of her life and the tragedy of the II World War and in the interwar period in Vienna. Her book reflects the commitment that everyday life has to the present and the future. Her biography ends with the phrase that her life was a life that deserved to be lived. To understand this statement we focus in her life as a student, as a professor at the university and in her feminist proposal. These aspects have as a common category the commitment to a dignified life. A dignity that is exercised in relation to the struggle for training and the exercise of their profession. The degree of demand and perfection marks its feminist demand. Elise Richter had to devote a large part of her effort to overcome and create strategies against cruel difficulties and impediments that came from an institution organized by men who showed resistance to losing privileges in the institution. We are interested in the study of this university pioneer to study other possible that are generally taken from the literary canon and make possible another experience of the us (Garcés, 2009). Part of his legacy continues in the file of the University of Vienna, without economic endowment, to be investigated. Her research on emotion as a component of teaching in the field of phonetics or the teaching of French through newspapers or books of the time, are pending the interest of new research.
