Project description
This is a true story—the story of Else Goldschmidt, the world’s first woman stockbroker. Her life was shaped by emancipation and audacity—and by emigration. Else Goldschmidt was born on July 11, 1898, in Berlin and died on December 19, 1975, in Johannesburg, South Africa, as Else Hirsch. Between these two events lie seventy-seven years of an extraordinary life. A chance discovery brought her story to light – now this book is telling it publicly for the first time.
ELSE ́S STORY is accompanied by 100-word texts by students and young scientists in order to transfer the past into a living culture of remembrance.
