USC Libraries, Max Kade Institute of Austrian-German-Swiss Studies at USC, and Villa Aurora present:
Women at Work: Käthe Leichter and Marie Jahoda
This play highlights the life and achievements of Käthe Leichter (1895–1942) and Marie Jahoda (1907–2001), two Austrian pioneers researching and writing about unemployment, work and gender pay inequality in the 1920s and 1930s. Both women were political activists who opposed the rise of fascism and the Nazis in Austria, and the play portrays them against a backdrop of politically turbulent times.
“Women at Work – Käthe Leichter and Marie Jahoda” is directed by Sandra Schüddekopf, with Anita Zieher as Käthe Leichter and Brigitta Waschnig as Marie Jahoda.
This performance at Villa Aurora is part of a U.S. tour of the show by the Viennese company portraittheater.
